Spoolup - AFR/EGT/Ignition
VF28, STI V4 engine
Harvey ported manifolds and up-pipe
Power FC ECU
Dynapack, power at the wheels. The engine feels sluggish below 3000 rpm, boost starts to build at 3000 rpm - and by 3500 rpm acceleration is good.
I can't get 1 bar before 3500 rpm, with a VF28 I expected to hit 1 bar 500 rpm earlier? Can it be that the up-pipe supplied by Harvey has a a too wide diameter, hurting exhaust gas speed? Currently mapped to AFR 15 at cruise, 12.5 at 0 bar and then steady change to AFR 11.5 at full load.
How can I get the turbo to spool earlier? Some suggests that the boxer engine prefers a rich mixture to spool up? Also decrease ignition timing to raise EGT to ~800 degc during spoolup?
I'm going to do some runs with logging and experiment with the map, but it would be nice to know in which direction to go.
