djqc Member 291 Member For: 14y 11m 8d Posted 03/02/13 10:55 AM Author Posted 03/02/13 10:55 AM Adam is correct, a car can be run at 13.5:1or leaner if the spark table is set up for it, although combustion temps, (not coolant temp) will get higher with a lean mixture.To those quoting AFR's on other fuel bseide unleaded, are you sure the dyno was set up to read the other fuels stoich value???? bet you don't know for sure, if you talk lambda we know things are reading correctlyI have an in cabin oil temp gauge, using the f6 cluster. It has defienitly raised in temp since the tune was done. 430kw on a stock motor is really leaning on it, isn't it? Is 12.8 too lean in my application?

djqc Member 291 Member For: 14y 11m 8d Posted 03/02/13 11:33 AM Author Posted 03/02/13 11:33 AM My original query with the car was the higher engine temp.This is my worry.

djqc Member 291 Member For: 14y 11m 8d Posted 03/02/13 11:43 AM Author Posted 03/02/13 11:43 AM Sorry, I should rephrase that."What sent alarm bells ringing, was the rise in oil temp."
trbo 6 Member 230 Member For: 22y 6m 15d Gender: Male Posted 03/02/13 12:12 PM Posted 03/02/13 12:12 PM I'm pretty sure my car ran 11.5 afrs on e85, which I thought was quite low. Meant to say lean not low. Car does feel good but does run slightly hotter on the temp gauge than pump fuel.

HYPEDF6 Legacy Donating Member 301 Member For: 13y 9m 8d Gender: Male Posted 03/02/13 12:54 PM Posted 03/02/13 12:54 PM Isn't this a XFT or MT tuned car ? Either of them have done enough to know what the go is. I would put enough trust in them to not worry about it mate.If it was another workshop in WA then maybe I would sh*t my pants a bit.
