QUOTE(crashman_3 @ Dec 15 2010, 05:00 PM) There is a sweet spot or optimum air-fuel ratio. If u go beyond that, the engine will run lean (too much air) and u will feel that the car is sluggish, fuel consumption will go up as u step harder. Correct me if I'm wrong IceCube bro. |

here's my review of the item since I got it on 30th Nov.
When I purchased this thing, I was expecting increase in power in addition to fuel saving but what I get was a little different. - increase in power, only at higher revs. Around 2 - 2.2k onwards its easier to go vroom. - VERY smooth engine during acceleration and driving. Used to have car jerks in the morning after leaving the house and when using wrong gear going uphill but now no more. This part alone makes it worth the money. So sad I didn't start using this 4 years ago. - During hot days, you can sometimes feel the car being slowed down...maybe because of the humidity in the air. Old cars will get this. Now it doesn't affect me anymore - FC not sure yet, coz I had outstation runs which affected the FC calculation but it does seem to have reduced quite significantly. I'm predicting RM0.15 per KM compared with my previous run of RM0.165 - RM0.17. Last refuel calculation was RM0.143 per km - 2/3 outstation driving. - air cond and other electronics...I can't tell the difference... great item dude |

QUOTE(crashman_3 @ Dec 15 2010, 05:00 PM) If tune too big, depend on engine setup/modification, mostly will encounter power loss and bad fc. Unless your ECU can remap or retune with bigger or more fuel injected , then u will gain more. Too lean is not good too. And for those with modded chip (E-manage/SAFC/Unichip/reflash/remap) where your tuner tune your AF toward lean, then TAB is not recommended unless you willing to go and re-tune the ECU to go from LEAN setting to more STOICH reading which is by injecting more fuel to overwrite the leaness after installing TAB [of coz you will gain more power since we can cramp more air/fuel in the combustion chamber compare to before TAB] . For stock ECU, there is no need to re-tune or reset any part. QUOTE(onyxzoom @ Dec 15 2010, 06:15 PM) There is a sweet spot or optimum air-fuel ratio.

Quick learner there~ QUOTE(Aeon_Clock @ Dec 15 2010, 07:37 PM) here's my review of the item since I got it on 30th Nov. Thanks bro for the review ~.

Thx Bro.
I'm still looking for the sweet spot for my car. Today I turned it down from 1.8 to 1.0. Tomoro will top up fuel and monitor. Hope it will feel more responsive and less sluggish. Maybe cos my car was already running lean. I did do some minor mod. |
