Default C16 in fuel cell=WAY rich.

Hey guys,

I finished up the stand alone fuel system and put C16 in the cell. I went out and did a test run, logged it w/ my F.A.S.T ecu and it's WAY richer now w/ the C16 in there. Right now I spraying 100hp (52 n20 jet, 31 fuel jet) and the air/fuel ratio gets down to 10.2:1 where it use to be at 11.6:1 on 93 octance.

What do you guys think? Should I go down in fuel pressure (currently at 45psi) or put in smaller fuel jets.

To keep things consistent, I think you'd be better off swapping jets than raising or lowering fuel pressure. Always try to keep that constant as you tune.

Both of your question do the same thing. I would lower the fuel pressure. Just easier and more tunable. 52-31 is one of the richer tune up (if useing NX). Drop the fuel pressure down to 40psi. Try again.

Would have to agree on ajusting the fuel pressure. Changing the fuel jet can (not always) change the A/F more than you might want to. Adjusting fuel pressure gives you smaller incremental changes.

I'll try 40psi and see how that goes, if it's still way rich then I'll go w/ a smaller fuel jet.

I probably don't. I just need something to support 700rwhp/900rwtq.


A couple of guys at NX recondmended C16 and I figured I could run a tad more timing and/or a little leaner and make more power.

Do you think you'll be changing your O2s on a regular basis or does it not hurt just being the DP fuel?

For real though, not everyone has the same thoughts on tuning a vehicle.

I'm sure it'd kill my wideband over time, but I'm willing to pay that price.
