Please DO NOT Post In The General Section
From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.
The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.
For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.
Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.
Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

You should really be basing your target lambda or AFR's on power output/engine performance and not just blind numbers. Yes there are basic targets to start from however, if you are really looking to tune your engine for it's best gains. You need to base your targets off where your engine sees it's best gains. Not all engines work there best at 12.5 @ WOT & 14.7 @ idle. I have had cars that loved 15-16 Afr at idle/cruise and 13.5 @ WOT. Boosted engines are completely different and usually require more fuel at WOT, there idle and cruising characteristics can be the same as N/A engine though.
FYI, Lambda and AFR are two different units of measuring an engines fuel to air ratio. You ether tune using lambda or AFR's. Sounds like you are using AFRs. AFR's usually range from 8.8:1 to 22:1 with 14.7:1 being the stoichiometric (balanced air to fuel point) . While lambda readings go from 0 to 1.5 where 1 is the stoichiometric (balanced air to fuel point).Last edited by GhostAccord; 04-28-2013, 08:57 PM.
