As for running, it does like it should. On road it consumes amount of fuel that manufacturer has prescribed, with 98 in tank it pulls strong enough that I've only two gears for moving car in city - 3th and 4th - after all, it starts pulling right from 1k rpm. I doubt that the fact that it runs out of torque after 4,5k rpm is caused by ignition - rather the fact that 2.3 engine is tuned for driveability and low rev torque, not high end power - but thanks to ignition it is capable of running on 95 or pull strong on 98 while being noticeably more economical. In some future I'll change it for MC, but first I'll learn how to adjust VEMS by installing it while AAR is still there, as it is very forgiving engine. Actually I don't know how I'll manage to adapt to that engine, as I've been used to one that could be used from 1k rpm to redline, without any turbo lag...  |
Fair-play to you and it...
I wasnt so lucky... I'l look into vems
