Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
Hopefully they meant 0.44 and not 4.40 otherwise your engine would go
through approximately 70 gallons of fuel in an hour while making 120HP. If
your numbers are that low, then watch the plugs after driving it for a
while. Some engines will "like" a BSFC number in the mid .40s, but most
passenger car engines usually run best at about .50 or so. My assumption
here is that the numbers they are giving you are BSFC. One thing that would
have been nice for them to do would have been to put exhaust temp probes on
each header tube coming out of the ports. This would have given you an idea
of the balance of fuel mixture between cylinders which would be a good way
to test the injectors under running conditions.

Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
Hey Chris,
He said the readings were on the (CO) meter if that makes a difference.
I'm going to test tonight the fuel pressure to make sure it's getting proper
pressure to the rail. The R&R guys altered the fuel line slightly as it was
'pinched' from them either taking the engine out or putting it back in.
They, of course, said I did it and I didn't, unfortunately, take a reference
picture of the engine compartment before I gave it to them so I didn't argue
on that point.

Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
Hey Chris,
He said the readings were on the (CO) meter if that makes a difference.
I'm going to test tonight the fuel pressure to make sure it's getting proper
pressure to the rail. The R&R guys altered the fuel line slightly as it was
'pinched' from them either taking the engine out or putting it back in.
They, of course, said I did it and I didn't, unfortunately, take a reference
picture of the engine compartment before I gave it to them so I didn't argue
on that point.

OK, they are basically giving you emissions numbers then. Has nothing to do
with BSFC, but you'll have to look at your emission regulations to see if
the numbers they gave you are going to cause a problem with emissions
