best AFR 1600-2400rpms loaded
Whats the best afr for the wrx my04 pre-boost (under 2400revs ?) I have it set to 12.71 but suspect perhaps slightly richer (12.2-12.5?) for boost ? Pulls along fine but turbo doesnt seem to spool quite as rapidly as I'd like for it ...

Probably needs leaning out a bit to get the spool a bit quicker.
12.2-12.5 does sound a bit rich, but it all depends where on the load scale it's hitting. I wouldn't imagine it would be at the top end of the scale where the AFR's are close to what you mention.
Below is a screen shot from a stock 2004 STi map :

Is your 14.25 in open loop or in closed - can you post your throttle position closed loop and calculated load tables ? I did think I was running to 12.71 a bit too rapidly. Nice map - very leaned.
Is there a reason why your transition is so gradual (same rpm - traversing load zone) ? Do you find it reaches boost quicker than the stock map ?

No dramas.
Appears you are still running closed loop at 1200-1600 revs to 13.54? Do you find the engine labours harsh if you were coasting in that range? And when do you transition out of CL, what throttle and load ?
For example, pulling 4th gear at 40km/h ? What lambda you reaching at 1600revs ?
Interesting transition points throughout your maps.

These are not my maps but stock maps lifted from OpenECU.
Transition points appear to be dependant on TPS and modified load, unless anything below 14.70 is considered 'Open-Loop' as per an apexi...
question : is this a threshold on the standard ECU if so can it be changed, as I've not spotted anything ?
Stock WRX has Closed Loop Exit set at :
Throttle position of 57.6%
Modified Load A : 156
Modified Load B : 88
Which must have input into the fuel load scale calulation.
Although I have not got my head round what's meant by modified load A & B in relation to the fuel load scale.

14.7 in closed loop, my guess is stock tune transitions to open loop where map says 13.94, pretty common. This means most likely running around 12.2-11.9, very rich. I leave mine at 14.7 OL and still runs 12.20 at WOT (Actual lambda) not in load cells
I forget to answer your question - yes you can change these thresholds. You change value in table B, though I'm still perplexed by the scaling, I want to force all throttle positions and load scales below 2400rpms into closed loop for R&D purposes

you can but not directly, you need to use the load and throttle position sensors, which is where the difficulty comes in.
For this Research purpose, I want to force all throttle positions and load below 2400revs into CL.

The closed loop control is much more complex than you give credit for. The decision to go into closed loop or not, is not really anything to do with the fuel map.

Yup found that out the hard way - even affected the idle. I am trying to determine if there is a way but I'm seeing no's everywhere...
But do you know the answer to the original question ? The best AFR for torque under (as in no boost) boost range ? I don't have access to a dyno so can't measure the variations of torque vs actual AFR between the 12-12.9 range.
