Title: apexi settings
Post by: exige on November 11, 2009, 10:20:43 AM
:Typing Is there set of base mixture settings I can use to get my FD through an MOT, it\'s been off the road for 18 months.
Its completely standard apart from HKS big exhaust with CAT, ARC filter and runs NGK 7 + 9. It was running a Knightsport ECU but it runs far too rich, it goes off the scale at MOT stations
I know there\'s a self learning programm built into the power FC but is this generally good enough to get through the MOT and run up the motorway 160 miles to Haywards safely. Then I can get it set up properly, hopefully at Haywards.
I know it\'s a lot of work but if someone could post this info I would appreciate it:cheers

If its running UBER rich like my FC is it would have totalled the cat (lucky I don\'t have one hehe) which might be why your emissions are so high, do you still have an air pump? Im running an air pump on mine, im running no cat at all and I have a CO of 0.45% hehe :) maybe bolt an airpump onto the car for the MOT and then go get it mapped?

The base map on the PFC will do just that, it is just a base to get the car to the mappers really.

Yes I am running an air pump, I\'ll have a look at my CAT...I didn\'t think of that being a problem. Thanks

I like the fuel injector cleaner idea, if I don\'t get any luck with mapping info I\'ll try that.
Thanks
