We've always known this. Search my posts.

No. Smallish turbines.
No such restriction needed with a top-mount.

The manifold is really the key.

^ Yeah, that is how it was reading on the dyno.

I've learned that wideband readings are, at best, a very general guideline.
The AFRs at the other shop looked pretty similar, but the engine responded (and sounded) quite different at the "same" AFR.

Thank you! We are really trying to push the envelope and we are working on some other things that will hopefully really help out.

Is that just a typo/mistake?
The SSV are the secondaries right? So you mean "opening along with the primaries..."?

Great job BTW!

Boost looks like 12.6-12.7 to me - or am I reading it wrong ?

Have you got the chart for aux ports closed as well ? Also , was anything else done between the open/closed runs IE was wastegate tweaked at all ?

So what was done to resolve the missfire issue - just a fuel pressure increase ?

No. Leaner AFR.

No. The SSV is the secondary shutter valve.
The "secondaries" are the secondary fuel injectors which are locked down-stream of the SSV.

No. Back-to-back runs.

Two different people from the same organization.

Nah. They are literally locked to the opening of the SSV.

That's one small step for a rotary. One giant leap for rotary-kind.

Yes.

The car lost power everywhere until 6500 RPM. Then, it took off like a rocket.
