The "2" sensor on both banks is the downstream O2 sensor which checks catalyst efficiency. Since you have added "high-flow" cats along with the added heat loss to the cats from the Belangers, I would venture a guess that they are not operating to the specs of the OEM cats. Therefore, the light...
Typically they read richer than the emission bench. They do vary by up to a half a ratio and no, they are not consistent. We calibrate them daily.
The emission bench is calibrated with tanks of pure medical grade gases. We've looked at the newer cheap wide range sensors but found their signal...
Knowing that I have to run linear regression against an extremely expensive emission analysis bench on either side of stoichiometric to get the expensive wide-bands to read correctly, I gotta ask....how do you know it is extremely accurate? What equipment was it measured against to verify it's...
I've worked with this setup and it has no driveability. If you look at the amount of throttle cross-sectional area that is exposed with even the most delicate push of the accelerator pedal you will see that there is a huge change in area. This results in very abrupt power delivery and it's...
The pcm will adapt those areas of the map that operate in closed-loop only. The open loop areas will not. If the shape of the volumetric efficiency curve changes due to hardware modifications there will be some areas that are rich and some that are lean. This will occur even within the closed...
The US06 portion of the EPA/CARB tests require the engine to run stoichiometric air/fuel ratios (closed-loop) at all times with the exception of those areas of the engine map where engine component/catalyst temperatures exceed their operating limits (open-loop) and then no richer then LBT +6%...
A water injection system might work but I'm sure the Feds would not consider that because the water tank could run dry without user intervention and no guarantee could be made that the cats would last 100k miles. Upgrades in materials could help push temperature limits such as the ceramic...
I see the issue as the ability of a large catalyst that could take the high exhaust flows of a large displacement engine would have too much mass to light off quickly. These days the largest portion of emissions occurs in the first 30 seconds the engine runs. After that you're home free.
The...
It's that rich to cool the catalysts. It would make more power if leaned out but the cats would fail if run at high loads for an extended period and we all know the EPA and CARB wouldn't like that.
I have a 1000 sq ft detached garage with 12 foot ceiling and use a natural gas overhead infrared radiant tube heater. It heats the objects, not the air and is very efficient. I bought it used from Home Quarters for $600 when they went out of business.
I have had the Rustoleum 2-part epoxy for garage floors from Home Depot for 1-1/2 years on my floor and it has held up extremely well.
I've since painted my shop floor, my in-laws garage and my brother-in-laws garage. My boss painted his garage floor with it. All of us like the finish, it's...
Re: What are wide band O2\'s used for?
I'll elaborate somewhat:
The std O2's have no real fuel/air resolution. They simply switch or toggle back and forth depending on whether the exhaust gas is lean or rich. How much it is lean or rich is not a factor. Under steady state conditions it...
It is for the EPA driving cycle. The faster that big V-10 spins the more air and fuel get pumped through it causing a hit on the hydrocarbons. It's got more than enough torque so it can handle the driving cycle in 4th and turn more slowly and pump out less HC.
Re: Miles B
The problem with hooking the map sensor to one port is the cyclic nature of the port flow. Each time the intake valve closes a pressure wave is reflected back up the runner. So the pressure measured would tend to be like a sine wave. A manifold with a plenum volume sufficient in...
The SRT-10 Carbon is using the GTSR t/body setup. The thing is a pain-in-the---- to calibrate and get running decently. The runner lengths are too short for a street car and low-end to mid-range torque is compromised. But the SRT-10 has plenty to trade off.
By the way, you can run an engine on...
