hi just wondering if there is a way to increase fueling without a remap.. i have a dawes running on my 98 uk turbo wagon set at 1.0bar and am a little paranoid bout it running lean and melting expensive bits... i cant afford a remap at the moment so is there a way to chuck in a bit more fuel to cure any lean worries? im gonna pull a plug tomorrow and see how it looks..cars got a decat downpipe, dawes@1.0bar, pipercross panel filter.

thanks

get an air fuel ratio gauge to keep an eye on things mate.thats what im going to do.

Or don't modify half heartedly? If you tinker without the proper equipment, expect big bills at some point in the future. Spend the cash on the mods, not repairs

i am going to get an afr but if it is lean can i rich it up a bit some how?

your going to have to buy the afr which is ? 150 ish then it needs setting up properly which will cost again ? why not just have an ecu chip instead. not as expensive as a remap but at least your fueling will be ok

Adjstable fuel pressure regulator is a crude way of increasing fueling.

With a sensible non-MAF misreading intake, exhaust and using SUL with a healthy fuel system and engine 1.0 bar will not be a problem. It will not be lean.

A single power run on rollers will allow listening with det cans for det and putting a wideband lambda up the tailpipe to check fuelling.

My main experience was with MY00 UK spec turbo, on that with a bit of octane booster, exhaust and fuel pump it ran 1.5 bar no problems.
