Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
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
testing.

Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
Holy crap man!
They can do 'anything' and are especially good at mix settings no matter
the system!
We will put it on our Dyno and get the air fuel 'just' right!
With no machines in the freaking garage that can actually 'measure' the
mix besides an emissions machine....
Man oh man....
Suffice it to say you didn't really get anything useful out of that
because they couldn't even properly dyno it.....
Now if you still had the Carter BBD on her, then these guys would likely
have been spot on for mix.
The problem with a tail pipe test on injection is the O2 can be seeing a
nasty rich every 6th hit so it tells the injection to run full lean.
So you have 5 cylinders running full lean with one still spitting black
---- at the O2 and the O2 will hold her lean.
What comes out the tail pipe can still be just fine if the above
balances....
I would just be keeping an eye on my plugs.

Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked

What would consist of a 'proper' dyno including the type of equipment
attached to the dyno. Educate me here.
They have a Chassie dyno, is there other equipment that can be attach to a
chassie dyno which measures air/fuel ratio?
Tell me for what to look for in a dyno reading. What should I make sure
they do?
Thanks,

Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
Mike
What would consist of a 'proper' dyno including the type of equipment
attached to the dyno. Educate me here.
They have a Chassie dyno, is there other equipment that can be attach to a
chassie dyno which measures air/fuel ratio?
Tell me for what to look for in a dyno reading. What should I make sure
they do?
Thanks,
Bill

Re: Just had my engine dyno'd and air fuel ratio checked
Also, if I want to make sure my injectors are performing correctly, what
methodologies are used to test injectors? If I want to test injectors what
kind of place should I contact to make sure they are working?
You are giving me theories to the gas wash and it's helpful but you also
know my state of understanding, please extend the information by letting me
know what methodologies would provide a satisfactory result.
Thanks,
Bill
