Air fuel ratio readings on boost and rollers from SC?
Hi all,
Anyone out there have Scoobyclinic roller graphs with Air/Fuel rations? I was wondering what your AFR's figures are on boost? 12:1, 11:1? I've got some graphs and want to confirm if my readings are lean/rich, ie how they compare to other's maps.

Hello chap...Dont really want to do that as it might start fingers wagging etc, just want to know if my roller results are a match for others that have had remaps there, ie AFR's print out results accurate for other's maps?
I'm not happy with the car after using it for a couple of weeks. I've had things like cut outs at idle, ruff running in traffic queues, misfire errors almost all the time. The car goes very well, but doesn't sound sweet and the EGT temps are crazy.
I'm not rushing into anything now until l I know exactly what I'm talking about.

its not the results that anyone concerned about.....just the AFR graph will tell you if its rich/lean straight off...
SC's is a dyno dynamics RR if i remember rightly so if you look at the AFR graph, the line should level off ar around 0.75 to the redline....

I'm not wanting to hide the power figures...I dont want the AFR results on scoobynet if my gutt feeling about the AFR results is right.
I've had it confirmed my AFR readings are .83 and not .75 and below on boost, which is lean, but I'm not sure how to read this on the graph - sorry, bit of a pleb, as the readings are in 14:1, 13:1 scale. Is .75 = 11:1? I understand what this ratio is, ie max efficiency is at just over 14:1 for fuel economy but max power is much richer, 12:1 or 11:1 on turbo cars.
I just want to understand the scale...

any good to you,
I know what it feel like to not be happy with a car after you have spent a load of hard earned ( slaps hand, this was not scooby clinic )
I ended up getting Bob to fix rather than shouting about it on here so know where you are comming from
edited to say - im still on the OE wrx pistons so i bet Bob has kept it more wet than what he could do with good internals, ignore the bellow 4k figures

its a rcm gt35 \ p18
the lower (gear box saving ) torque has probably more to do with Bobs mapping and making the car last than the turbo
car made simular ft lbs last time with a p18\ vf35 - the car feels a totaly differnt animal

Rich, perfect m8, just what I needed. Confirms my roller graph shows running way leaner than yours...will check again tonight but I'm sure its not at the 11:1 level.
I think I'm now in the same boat as you were...Bob's going to be the king and sort my motor - and get the power figures I'm sure she's able to produce without aftermarket ecu and electronic boost controller

Kev if you are talking about it running too rich at low boost
it dosn't do this on the road (using my psi3 ) or when Bob was mapping
the guy pointed out this when I had the car on the rollers and was extreamly helpfull in trying to find the fault - I could not reproduce on the road

sorry,
my mistake but reading the thread again I thought we were talking about using scoobyclinic rollers and not mapper, didn't even knew you mapped cars but always been happy with the service and rollers when I ve been down

AFR of 12.2 at 1.5 bar of boost is lean if you're talking about pump fuel. But you also mentioned elsewhere that you have WI? Is (was) it injecting methanol, or water? It also doesn't take into account the timing you are running.
I used to aim for no lower than 11.6 dropping off to 11-ish at the redline on Subaru customer cars (unless the customer was very insistent ).....but then I'm a bit conservative

Hi Rich,
Yes, shell 98 fuel...water injection with a small % of booster added, so mostly water.
It's the EGT temps of max 918 to 935 deg that started me off with worries re setup - car def lean and will get it resolved once funding available .

If the car is running a MAF Sensor, then depending on the inlet air tract and modifications, ducting, ram air, snorkle deleted etc. and depending on the rolling road fan set up, it is not unusual to see AFRs varying quite noticably from rollers to real world road driving conditions.
12:1 AFR is piston nipping teritory. Best get it checked out with a wide band lambda on the road before you start running on boost.
