CONCLUSIONS
Conclusions on power up serviceability .
The implications of progressive or high boost mods to the engine are always
present in the way of stress related engine failure or detonation because of
lean air fuel ratios or heat or timing problems . High power mods always
lead to increased chance of problems but if working from a position of
knowledge, the chances are reduced.
I believe the best way to avoid detonation is to dyno tune your car on a gas
analyser after mods to ensure the fuel air mixture at max boost is still not
leaning out. If you use the same dyno each time you should have a valid
comparison on power increases after each stage.
As figures across different dyno's tend to conflict, don't take much notice
of the numbers except as a guide. The most important aspect is the fuel
delivery at maximum injector duty cycle and boost pressure as measured by
the exhaust gas analyzer.
Always ensure that the dyno operator has a large fan directed at your
intercooler if fitted as well for more accurate results.
