Hi I have a Pajero V6 3L Petrol and I have also been trying to get some savings for ages.
I have no problem leaning the engine since I can run with the O2 unplugged and I have a small computer (parallax propellor) I can program to change the MAF pulse. I have an LC-1 wideband sensor and display unit installed so I can monitor my AFR, I also have an EGT to make sure temperature is safe. I have not played with timing yet but since have had no savings whatsoever I dont think anything I do on the electronics side will have any effect at this stage. I have even programmed the LC-1 to simulate a narrowband signal at 16.7 AFR and still nothing even though the car seems to have plenty of go..
I have only been running my unit up to 18 amps (using NaOH) and I estimate 1.5LPM at best with my Dry Cell 3 cells @ 6 plates each..
Going by some posts on this forum I should be pumping out at least 2.5LPM for my size engine ?
I am also thinking the compression ratio on my car is 8.5 which is fairly low, do you think this plays some role ?
