Technique question -
When he was accelorating was his TPS at 46?
I know it is different for every car - but is that in the normal range? i have been trying to stay under 15..
maybe i have not been acclorating hard enough - but that struck me as really high.

man.

i need to search Youtube tonight and see if there are other videos of techniqiues..
I had heard (read) the disucssions about low rpm high load with respect to the BSFC - but did not realize how HIGH that was..

have any of you guys uploaded clips of your techniques?

[Daox]

Accelerating at around 80% load (LOD on the scangauge) is what is generally considered best unless you have an actual BSFC map to look at.

Man - i feal silly - i read all those posts - even looked for BSFC charts for my car on Altima forums - have been using the scangage for 3 weeks now.

It never clicked that that was what that meant.

Now i really DO feal like a Doofus McFancypants.

: )

Thank you for the clarification !!!

Daewoo? OMG! Mechanic's nightmare! Not because of difficulty in repairs, but locating parts for these cars is not easy.

And what the hell?????????

Don't fill tanks
Garcia keeps his gas tank and oil half-full.
