Hey spiider, here the trouble area that have been plaguing me from day one. I even think it came about when I upgraded my exhaust. I cannot remember feeling it. Had the car only stock for a week.
Damn close loop. Fuel controller do not work in that area, except for some throttle input,, except full throttle to go close loop.
Subaru had a trainee working on this map. If you knock, pull timing or add fuel. Adding fuel seems more realistic w/ a tab of -ne timing. But no, pulling timing and have the car feel like it want fuel. Also became aware of other JDM imports having the same problem in that region.
I must try a fuel race fuel and see what happens. Tried it once and the sluggishness wasn't there, not completely gone either, but the close loop afr seems to be 14.7+ in that region. The afr wb meter reads up to 15+ in that region.
I will sometimes here a series of pinging ad may not even register a knock, but no constant knock signatures in that region.
What is the ecu picking to drop the timing if no knock is register, at least for logging.
This is what I want to correct, it I can.
I am wondering if to add a Adj. Fuel reg, but the beautiful ecu would take the fuel out any way. it is now that I wish I had a Toyota ecu
.
Driving in that region feels really really sluggish. The rpm ramps are my auto tranny. The region makes the car feel like it have a turbo.
