rollex Member 683 Member For: 10y 6m 4d Gender: Male Location: Australia Posted 10/08/15 07:41 AM Author Share Posted 10/08/15 07:41 AM Yeah I understand what it is. Someone above suggested they are a pain in the ass but you only need 1 sensor then and don't need a second bung in the dump pipe if I use one so I'm questioning why it is a pain in the ass as it seems there are some definite benefits.I'm assuming they have two outputs, the full wideband output and the narrowband low/high output so the PCM gets it's narrowband signal whilst you can simultaneously use the wideband.

Expect 2 to 3 years at a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why.The narrow band simulation is possible. If you got your head around it properly I think you could calibrate it so the ECU likes it. But ii did do some weird stuff at times and another guy who had a stab at it also had the ECU trip out on him like it did me. But because you have so much on your plate ATM leave that till later when you understand it all a bit better. Meanwhile just do the extra bung for wideband.These new widebands last a very long time. You are probably thinking of the old bosch wideband sensors which only lasted a few hundred hours. The new ones last like normal O2 sensors.Originally I wanted to run the simulation narrowband output on the Innovate LC1 to introduce and offset to run leaner on cruise. Yet it can be done and works but as I said I never nutted it out completely but if you put you head to it you might be able to.To run leaner I just shut off the narrowband and then adjusted the fuel base table lambda to get to where I wanted. Mine is about 15.5:1 on cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With tuning many guys just stick with quoting petrol fuel ratios even when running E85. Some like just quoting lambda. It is what suits you.

I also have no O2 correction set on I just tune the map to best without lean misfire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 8m 12d Gender: Male Posted 10/08/15 12:03 PM Share Posted 10/08/15 12:03 PM I found E85 behaves differently to BP98. With BP98 you get the normal lean missfire anywhere from 16+:1 dependening on engine some engines 17:1+.With E85 there seems to be no lean missfire but it just starts to loose power. So yes, even 20:1 but less power.I didn't play with it that long but definately behaves differently. I thought to myself the OEM have got it wrong with tuning to lambda on cruise with E85.Sometimes I thought my lambda meter was playing with my mind but certainly can run leaner .
