did anyone take any pics when they were making the cable to log AFR from the AEM gauge??

I'm doing mine now and it doesn't feel to sturdy with the pins it came with that go into the female db-9

 

anybody wanna make me a cable?? I'll pay.

 

I've read to use hot glue to keep them in there

 

One of the stupid things got stuck so now I have to go buy another female DB-9 connection.

 

I took a couple cables from the bin at work. Originally ups monitoring cables for the battery backups in the data center, but long outdated now. Well, I just lopped one end off, stripped all the wires, and used a multimeter and resistance to find which was which...then soldered them to the monitoring cable on the arm and the same ground cables as the arm and other gauges.

 

Slater, ill post a pic tomorrow of what im doing i think you will like it, no splicing/soldering. For now sleep we just got the motor finished a about an hr ago.

 

pics please.

 

Man i was dead tired last night but these are what I am using.

that looks pretty good actually

 

can someone answer this stupid question please:

more fuel = more timing
less fuel = less timing

is this correct??

 

+1

 

Not sure what you mean. If you richen the mixture yes you can run a little more timing since the fuel is cooling the charge more. Go too rich though and you will start to lose power

 

say I take away some fuel in certain load areas then the timing will need to come down as well correct. or when I richen it when in boost timing must be advanced then right?

 

Sort of...but not quite so dramatic as you are thinking maybe.

If you set your AFR's close, then set timing and then adjust AFR if it needs it, you will be okay. Where are you talking, WOT? or cruise?

 

cruise, trying to get better gas mileage. It's running really rich since I switched to open loop a couple of days ago.
