a.e.m air/fuel reading


needy

Recommended Posts

AFR's should float between 14.0 and 15.0 on idle, it'll go up and down every 2 or 3 seconds as the engine constantly adjusts the fueling. That's the same for any supra regardless of mods.

 

Fuel pressure should be left stock (33 to 38psi), though most with BPU mods and an adjustable FPR set it to 38 or 40 psi to help get that little bit extra fuel in.

Whoops, missed the normal driving part.

 

ok. my air/fuel goes from 14.8 to 15.2 at idle, does that seems right..

 

i have a fuel pressure regulator and it lies at 40 to 44 psi

 

do i have somthing to worry about?

 

Yes, that's normal. Have you checked the static pressure of the FPR? It needs to be done without the engine running but the fuel pump running, it won;t give a static reading with the engine running.

 

i think at full throttle it goes about 10 til 10.5 as i reamember

 

That sounds about right for stock, maybe a bit rich for BPU, what boost are you seeing?

Remember AFR's need to be checked at various points during the rpm range, in particular at the transition point to ensure it's not running lean when the 2nd turbo comes online.

static pressure of the frp? can you explain it a little closer..

 

i am running std setup at boost. 0.9 bar..

 

To get a static reading you need to have the engine off, but trick the ECU to running the fuel pump and fuel system at pressure. To do this, bridge +B and FP ports on the engine diagnosics port, then turn the ignition to II and take a reading from the fpr gauge

 

For 0.9 bar a reading of 10.0 on full boost is very rich. What RPM is that at and in what gear?

Also 0.9 is not stock, 0.76bar is stock. What modifications have been made? Are the exhaust and/or cats standard? Finally what boost gauge do you have and is it a mechanical or electrical one?

ok, i will trye that.. what should i read at the fuel pressure gauge?

 

3 and 4 gear at full throttle and 0.9 bar at the boost gauge

 

I'm not sure what you mean by what you should read at the FPR gauge - do you have an aftermarket FPR with a dial gauge attached? If not, where are you getting your fuel pressure reading from?

 

Regarding the boost, please re-read my post and reply with your input, I edited after clicking reply.

i have another exhaust on the car, std cat. thats all.. i have an electrick boost gauge..

 

it is an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator located on the hose which is connected to the intake. and is set at the return hosewhich goes to

to the fuel tank. and is adjusted to reflect 40 to 44 psi at idle. and it is mechanically. I still have the std fuel pressure regulator installed

The aftermarket exhaust may explain the increase in boost, do you have both cats still in place?

 

The FPR sounds a little strange.. If the stock FPR is still in place there certainly shouldn't be anything else in the fuel line, particularly another FPR! An additional FPR will screw up the operation of the original one and can't change the fuel pressure, other than restrict it. Can you post a picture of it so we can try figure out what it is? It may just be a gauge (which shouldn't be there, even if intended)

The fuel pressure at the gauge will be lower with the engine running, which is why static pressure needs to be found.

 

then I tried b + og fp diagnostic connector. and it showed 60 psi with the engine off. has so adjusted fuel pressure down to 40 psi with the engine off, and started the engine then the fuel pressure shows 25 psi, but if i takes b + and fp with the engine on, it shows 38 psi, is it my aftermarket fuel pressure regulator which is defective?

 

with running hot engine, the AFR shows 14.8 to 15 at idle now

Running two FPRs is not a good idea, and certainly not necessary on a BPU Supra, take one out, and if the the aftermarket one is a cheap type, thats the one that needs to go.

yes i have the original which sits at the fuel bridge, and the aftermarket which are connected by the return pipe to the tank.

 

yes it aftermarket fuel pressure regulator is a cheap one off the kind..

Well 60psi is WAY to high, so ast least that is one thing partially resolved

 

You need to get rid of it, you can't have two FPR's on a car or it could seriously screw up the fueling. I'm interested as to what's been done here, can you post a pic of it?

as I also tried to explain further up, then there is an original fuel pressure regulator which sits on the fuel bridge, and then I have the aftermarket fuel pressure regulator attached to the return page that goes to the tank, this shuld after signing give a higher pressure in fuel bridge ..

 

hope you understand what I mean
