On .7bar it runs perfect through the revs, but when i put it to 1.2bar in the higher revs it starts to stutter(kinda like backfiring), its never done it before, today is the first time, under boost while it stutters the AFR reads 13.5?? On.7 its 13.1 and 1.2bar 13.5 so it is getting the fuel it needs, what else can it be?

Iv read that it might be plugs and i never changed them when i bought the car that time so they might be finished or just really old, will check them tomorrow

Ok, so i let the car idle till it got to temp then took it on the road and played with the fueling a bit took the AFR from 13.5 at idle to 13.2/3, and it runs better now than after the dyno tune, the plugs all looked a bit worn so will be getting new ones asap

OK, So at Idle you running 13.5?

Wow.

13.6 at WOT your a very brave man.

I run 12.7 at WOT on the Sentra 11.6 On the SX.

I have tried running 14.7 -15.5 at part throttal but the car really feels dead in this range at slight tip in.

So I now run 14.2 -13.9 throttal responce is great.

Idle is at 15.5 as not much action in this area.

Does the fact that its a narrow band AFR gauge effect it?
