Hello all,
I'm in my stages of working out the idle on my project. I've got what I think is a decent idle however I have things in my log that I have questions on. I have attached the log and my latest map. Here are a specs.
2276cc Air-cooled VW
SLR XR-302 cam
DRD L6 heads
CB Performance dual 48mm TB
Bosch 192cc injectors
Sidewinder exhaust
LC-1 with Digital gauge
MS II Rev. 2.89000\EDIS4
A couple of things that pop out at me (granted my eye is not as trained as others):
kPa appears to be high. My setup comes from each manifold to a vacuum log and then to the MS II.
My AFR is all over the place. The location of the bung is at the collector. I get a little steady but I see spikes and valleys.

I'm looking for any input as well as directly on the kPa numbers.
thanks everyone

Re: high kPa at idle
Looks like an intermittent missfire. Also, have you confirmed timing is OK?
Re: high kPa at idle
Thanks for the reply Matt.
Checked timing today at idle and at 3k and it's good. I did find an exhaust leak so my AFR is probably bouncing around because of that.
Any input on the high kPa?

Re: high kPa at idle
Hi,
Something does look odd....
I have a somewhat similar motor...only 103 by 80 with a split duration cam.
I idle in the high 50 to low 60kpa. my idle is high at around 1200rpm but really doesn't change if I lower it to around 800. Still 58 to 62 kPa. I thought about using a smaller orifice restriction in my vacuum line. I am just using the 4 vacuum lines to a fuel filter.
You might want to check if you have any filtering of the map signal. beyond that, I am no help. my motor is old, but been off the road for 8 years. Just got it back driving in the last week or so. Lots to relearn and test. herb
