Your videos are proving nothing. I can hook up an Apexi unit to any car and have it say whatever the hell i want it to say (for example, your rpm's are 1/2 of what they really are).

BTW, what's so special about what you are doing? You have no way of controlling timing, so all you are doing is taking fuel away. How can you possibly call that pro tuning?

I've tuned on the lean side many times and all my engines were fine. Good quality after market computers with high resolution fuel and ignition maps allow you to do that. Couple that with sequential injection control (ability to control the pulse width of every individual injector separately), wideband inputs for each cylinder, and EGT's for each bank, and you have enough information to push the limits. Nevertheless, a "pro tuner" will know that the lean threshold is dependent on the engine configuration.

We the trustworthy members of Ecomodder.com are not newbie bashers.... but when a newbie comes riding in on his sparkling unicorn, we make sure others aren't glamored by it, unless they can prove the unicorn is real.
