If that blue line is the current mixture then something is very wrong - the fueling was better before.

??? How do you mean? The fueling was much more level and constant after the mafs were changed. before it was a bit eratic.

it is not lean on the red one - it is really rich on the blue one.

Right. ive spoken to Grizz and he has convinced me to change the n75 as the fueling is pretty rich despite it being 'ok' according to the techs. should be in tommorrow, so hopefully some improvement on the fueling. i won't be getting it roaded again just yet as its costing me a bomb (more than the repairs). when i do get it roaded i'll post up as normal.

Grizz, (or anyone) what should a good fueling graph look like?

Get it to MRC or Grizz; they will get it running right, period. Something's definitely not right and the figures don't look right either. And the business of the gearbox issues on the rolling road is also questionable. It certainly doesn't instill confidence when 'the operator is cacking himself' as per your previous post. Them saying that they need bigger straps is surely an indication of inexperience with this car. It's no good replacing this, that and the other if you can't get a decent RR from the outset. Sorry to be so negative, but there should be a logical order to trouble-shooting/diagnosing and it looks like things aren't being done quite right here.

Eddie, on second thoughts, have a day off work and take it to Grizz. I was only looking at your Bhp improvement.....

Still doesnt say much about Ray West though. Is his map any good? His Rolling road prices are high.
