Tuning question

[duhafnusa4]

i live at 3200 ft and my AE TII was running rich at 1500ish when i bought it, any recommendations for tuning for running better? i have the rtek 2.1

I moved your post as it does not belong under the Rtek FAQ thread.

If you have a 2.1, then simply lean it out at 1500 and the boost that it runs lean at using the fuel correction map.

thanks my bad

also i was told it was running 10psi also, how can i be sure using the Rtek? isnt 10psi like 500mmHg?

View the MAP sensor reading.

If you want to show in PSI, set the units to imperial in the preference screen.

mmHg is typically used as a measure of vacuum. Metric pressure is in Bars which is what the rtek displays when above 0 psi in metric mode

ok thanks figured that out.

i just did a Log to see what my max psi was and the highest it hit was 6.4psi.
i was told w/ the Rtek it should be around 10 right? im going to get a MBC and turn it up to 10 and see if that fixes it

The Rtek has no control over the boost.

Turning up the boost is typically never a "fix" for anything...well except for the "problem" of running less boost than you want.

Make sure you monitor your AFR with a wideband before turning up the boost. If you value your engine, the boost should never just be arbitrarily turned up without proper monitoring.

ok then it just displays it i figured out my problem though, the last owner had used electrical tape to block a nipple on the intercooler:S so deffinate boost leak so i fixed that

i went out again(after proper warming of the engine) and found that it runs 9.8-10.3psi. oh i know how stupid it is for people to just "turn up" the boost on thier vehicles because it will lean out and ill be screwed.

you gotta be careful w/ um

also what would be a good af ratio for when i do increase my psi? 12.2 i seem to remember???

[sc0rp7]

10.5-11 is very safe

ok thanks
