well maybe not quite out loud...

actually it was more like a chuckle....

In reality I just breathed out...but at least it didn't make me stop breathing!!

For our car (or any NA car) you want around 13.

lower air to fuel ratio is running richer

doesn't change the fact that I've done more research and learned more about the Z than most of their owners

FI is more prone to detonation. I haven't looked in a long time but I thought ideal A/F ratio was in the 13's somewhere, with 14.2 being the absolute max lean you can go. I could definitely be wrong though, it's been probably 6-8 years since I've had an A/F gauge in my car

So that is just FI then?

Caravanshaka · 08-18-2009, 10:42 AM

you are stuffing a whole lot more air in the combustion chamber with FI, so I could believe that they need to run with a lower A/F than NA to keep the car safely detonation free...but I don't know the numbers for them off-hand

theDreamer · 08-18-2009, 10:44 AM

Yes, for FI you want to be around 10-11 I believe.

I was just having this discussion with a couple of guys the other day. One is a buddy of mine fresh outta UTI and 2 other guys in their 60's/70's with over 50 years experience. Those were the exact numbers I was given by them but we were talking about different motors. Some good ole american muscle, the 2JZ-GTE and the RB series motors.
