My turn for a wideband O2 tuning thread - 04/29/12 07:17 PM
So, I finally got my wideband O2 hooked up, and leaned it way down to where it is now. I also made an intake vacuum sensor that hooks up to the LMA-2 RPM thingy, so I have that logged as well.
'72 W200. Edelbrock 1406. Currently jetted with 0.095 mains, I think the secondaries are also 95s, 73/52 rods, stiffest step up springs. IMSs are ~1.75 turns out. Idles with 18"hg. New plugs. Initial timing is ~15ish, total ~35ish @2500. With vac advance it's hitting ~60* (). With vac advance unhooked it actually seemed to make my stumble worse.
At cruise it's running ~16:1.
Part throttle acceleration ~12-12.5ish
WOT 13.5ish (why it's higher than part throttle, I'm not sure?)
At very light acceleration it dips into the 11's, and has a pretty annoying stumble/hesitation, which is currently my main frustration that I've been chasing for a while now. It seems to clear up once the RPMs get a little higher, and with more throttle.
I think the stumble is a rich stumble, but I'm not sure how to lean that bit out any more. I had the Orange step up springs in and it made the light accel stumble horrendous. I saw it dipping into the 10s off idle
Any thoughts how I can get rid of that stumble before I have to pull a horse trailer next week?
FYI, attached is 'tunabrock.xls'. It's an excel file where someone entered every jet and rod combination showing the resulting areas for economy and power. Makes it easy to go richer/leaner in one mode or the other and know exactly what rod/jet to use. It has been VERY handy.
edit: ok, maybe I can't attach it. If anyone wants it, PM me and I can email it.
