If you think that's rich, I have 2x1680 cc injectors idling at 900 steady but with an AF ratio of 11.3 - 11.4 at 1.3ms. I would like it leaner but I wonder if that's possible with 1680 cc injectors....

I can can get as lean as 13.5 afr or just to about where lean misfire would occur with 1600cc injectors. Idle is perfect around 13.0 afr.

AFR of 12.5 is not to bad for that ecu injection mode/setup etc. but it also depends on the rest of the setup like fuel pressure and ignition timing at idle.

crispeed, what timing are you running at idle?

I'm running close to 40* advance at idle. I think 5 is pretty conservative for no load ..............****, at 13psi I'm running more advance then that

is there any connection between requiring a rich idle and low (er lower but still serviceable) compression due to general wear

I can't get mine to idle happy any leaner than 12.5 at idle with an E8

Yes E-11/8 sequential mode.

mine runs smooth at .92 lambda and its a bridgeport..

jantore, I was under the impression that the autronic ecu's had some pretty badass injector control and could accurately fuel at quite low pulse-widths..

Let's see .92 X 14.7= 13.524!
Now my brain needs a break. That took the last bit of memory left. Time to re-boot!

So how much more control does sequential give you over batch injection at idle? Could the same afr's be achieved with batch injection with 1600's?

how streetable is a car with 1600 or 1680 CC primary injectors?

What is the base fuel pressure set at, and how much effect does this have on the setup

What does the rest of the fuel system look like?

for my own purposes 2x1680 CC injectors would supply all of the fuel I could need. It would be cool as **** to simplify the system and just have one set of injectors.

Yes.
Your battery correction map has to be right also.

It depends on the ecu but most of the times especially with huge injectors sequential makes a difference.
