olskool said:really ah? coz i upgraded to rb25 tubine (nothing else being done) my exhaust temp reaches 9...before that with stock turbine was only 7. isn't that running too lean?
Tony,
A hotter exhaust temp may indicate a lean mixture but not necessary so...if I were to base my fuel mixture with only an exhaust temp ( which you should not) a reading of 9 is still okay to me...7 is a bit too cold :) All this is based on the exhaust sensor being placed at the exhaust manifold before the turbine. Placing it down the pipe line will give you a cooler reading.
Get a wideband lamdar sensor stuck to your tail pipe and see it for yourself before investing in a higher rate fuel pump as your fuel economy will most probably go out of the window if not tuned right
