It hasn,t just come up , its just what forums do
its been knowledge to those who know and use good quality ecu systems for years ,
most of the posters, so called knowledgeable people ,don,t have dyno,s +don.t do real development work
EG willing to destroy engines to find out the limits and then do forensic examination to find the cause of the failure
so they just repeat as gospel what they have read on another forums.
I have been developing engines+ posting for many years and have had many heated debates and after a while I just stopped posting anything that was too controversial due to the slagging , which definately affected my buisness,
the lack of fact based responses from people didn,t seem sink in with all but a few ,the majority don,t have the knowledge to make sense of whatwas being said and I kept getting accused of long winded and superior posts just to make me sound big headed and a know it all .
the truth is simple I do have a superior depth of knowledge to most gained by 40 years of engine tuning everything from mini,s mgb,s ,mk1 escorts , ford bda engines --one of the first 15v engines .then I was first to turbo a subaru pushrod engine in 1979 ,I also turboed an RS 2000 in 1976 and a hillman imp 1977 and they were all with carbs
then I started with ecu systems in the very early 80,s and I am still learning every day .
I don,t know it all, no one will and I am always open to a reasoned argument ,backed up ny more than --"my mate did this and it goes fucking great "--
never forget every day is a school day if you want to increase your knowledge
but if you are going to believe in forums you won,t go far wrong listening + thinking carefully to what i say
some emperical evidence for you
you have a turbo car ,factory built --first thing you do is chip it to up the boost --on some engines it can be alot 100bhp on some
If you accept that 3.7psi is about 1 comp ratio you can see that the car makers design the car to give the power they want --not what it can make . plus allowing for crap fuel in some countries and not have to make dif spec engines ,and still comply wtih type approval emission regs
which just proves they could have run higher comp to start with ,and no internal engine problems
drag racing cosworth YB engine boys have taken years to realise that by running less boost + small turbo,s they can get far better response + 1/4 mile times + less engine failures
