My 931 (series 2) engine rebuild is finished I am now adjusting the mixture.

I have a Innovate wideband sensor/ gauge.

What are the AFR ratio's I want to aim for at:

idle
cruise
full throttle/boost

I would start out with 14.7 at cruise and 11 at wot, should be a good start, thats how my cis is setup.

I have two 931s with wideband AFR. One is with S1 CIS/ignition, and one is with Euro S2 CIS/ignition.

Get the car fully warmed up, to the point that your OIL TEMP is at operating range. Then go through the full regimen to set mixture and idle speed. Use the wideband gauge to get the mixture at 14.7:1 at proper idle speed on a fully warmed up engine.

On both of my cars, I get very steady idle + 14.7:1 AFR, and this results in proper cruise AFR, somewhere between 14:1 - 15:1, with WOT / full boost AFR in the 10:1 range. In my case, the WOT AFR may end up being richer than Cedric's because both cars are running higher-than-stock boost levels.

I keep mine at 13.5 AFR at idle, 11AFR at full pedal and boost.

A stock WUR is extremely difficult to tune to ensure the best AFR's across the throttle and rev range. Many owners will report differing results. 14.7 is your target for idle and cruise. At wot, 10's is safest for non IC'd turbos. 11's is safe for intercooled turbos. Low 12's if you feel brave.

The one to watch with our cars is the mid range boost enrichment. Our wurs are set up for non IC. Therefore over enrichening the mixture as soon as boost kicks in regardless of throttle position. So sapping power and wasting fuel as you accelerate at semi or full wot and full boost. Hence the 'Brian Leask' type solution which many 930 guys on their modified cars.

Good point...

Worth mentioning that the two cars I cited are both intercooled: the 80 S1 (941) has progressive water-meth injection that starts sparying at 5PSI with progressive (linear) increase up to full boost (@ 12PSI). The 81 Euro S2 (Club Sport), of course, has many modifications, and is also running my TMCC (liquid to air intercooler).

My gauge at cruise before adjustment reads about 18-22.

I turned it richer but the car began to smoke, so turned it leaner again. After a test drive the spark plug looks very black and a bit wet. So still to rich.

I turned it leaner agian and now it reads about 13.5/14 at idle but the strang thing at cruise still around 16/17. On boost it drops to 12-14.

I don't understand it now anymore. The Innovate kit is just about 200 miles old and was recenlty calibrated.

If I go of the gass, the exhaust makes a popping noise.The exhaust is straight through sport system, so maybe it is normal.

My sparkplug (W-3-DPO Bosch platinum) looks now like this now:

That only effects the idle mixture not the AFR through the rev range. if you want to specifically adjust other areas then it's the WUR

I respectfully disagree. If you adjust for a richer mixture the CIS head/plunger will open more for the same amount of air drawn trough the plate.
WUR will increase the pressure when on boost so more fuel will flow trough the system.

I thought the same Ciprian. If you enrichen the idle mixture then this would enrichen the whole sytem in a linear way, therefore enrichen cruise and WOT as the same time. On my car it did nothing for the cruise or WOT AFR's, only the idle. But I did not over adjust to prove the theory.

I have read that there are two seperate adjustments on the WUR to change the AFR elsewhere in the rev range/WOT. I think I linked a Rennlist page in the thread I did when messing around with the boost enrichment/delay.

But I may be completely wrong

I forgot to tell, I run 98 ocatane fuel and car is now still on stock boost level.

Carrera (& others!),

Would my IC car benefit form this mod?

Hence the 'Brian Leask' type solution which many 930 guys on their modified cars.

(EDIT: I just sent an email to Brian Leask)

Thx

if boost is significantly increased and the dizzy advance and retard has been recurved and the timing advanced.
