While I tickled the Knock sensor, I'd consider this pretty close.
Leaving from an idle, 3/4 throttle, ~20 PSI, 0-60 5sec., 91 octane.


**BTW, for those that think the osm Os sensors are good for more the stoich, take a gander at what thry're doind here.

All I can say is that you're about a full point leaner than I'd try at 20 psi.

I've seen O2s go limp with heat. Do you have an EGT in your exhaust somewhere? Just curious.

Actually, in the past few runs, when the WB was leaner then the commanded, there was less knock.

Yes, but the O2 sensors are far enough back to be too greatly influenced by EGT.

does it run good ??? if so then the AFR isnt the only thing that matters. at least AFR as observed by the WB02. while the WB02 is a useful tunning tool knowing the amount of air vs quantity of fuel actually dictates the actuall pre combustion afr. remeber the wb02 monitors post combustion afr and that often enough due to changes in timing etc may not be as accurate as we would like.

No fair having the MAP go over 100

thanks for sharing

Yes, but, intially tuning the numbers to match, gives, a baseline, and then to change things, a quick change of the PE commanded AFRs make tuning alot easier then trying to go thur and match %'s to get to where you want.

Seems fair to me

200 is where it just starts being fun, the 300 mark is when things get real interesting..

im not going to dispute that point. its a good solid way to acomplish the goal. i was simply reffering to the interaction between actuall AFR and wb02 derived afr. it is something to keep an eye on.

Are they heated sensors?

Looks like fun but I wonder what 200kpa would feel like with 2 more cylinders and more cubes .

Is it time to test out the alky?

That might be ideal if you were into research but for tuning a car it's not necessary. Remember the wideband get's you in the ballpark and even though it doesn't represent the pre-combusted AFR exactly it is still proportional! That's all that matters. Nobody should be tuning their cars for an AFR, they should be tuning them for real world work, like ET, or gas milage.

well its not really proportional unless there is good combustion.

Yes it is. Unless you have a tune that takes out 30 degrees of timing at 3000rpm and then adds it all back in at 3200rpm. Then it might hickup but the same could be said about an o2 sensor dragging on the ground behind the vehicle... wouldn't be proportional there either .
Obviously there has to be good combustion but it doesn't have to be great, it just needs to combust meaning it can't be so lean that it doesn't ignite. We already talked about this. If you're engine likes cruising with AFRs so lean that you get a misfire then upgrade your ignition system to a CNP setup and go some more.
The idea is that with a mechanically sound motor the wideband WILL be proportional to the desired AFR.
