My cylinder temps were at an optimal 220 degrees The explanation the computer came up with was an extreamly lean a/f mixture and massive knock. nothin about critical cylinder temps.

I sitll got a '87 GNX sittin in the driveway, you wanna tell me how i should run that car too?

 

Water injection - also known as vapour charge - is not exactly the 1st choice for removing ambient temperature for turbo engines, but it is an alternative (one I would never use).

However, it is definitely not a fix for a lean condition. I think gregp1962 is confused.

gregp1962 - STF up and have some respect for forum members, unless you want to be ridiculed for the typical idiot with 10 posts. David_K has contributed a lot to this forum and has gained respect from a lot fo us (even if he does have a BOV... lol). He is not without a fair share of knowledge.

 

Sorry guys. I thought this forum was to exchange ideas and opinions.

 

Its all good man, dont take it personally. I didnt. And Brrman, I got a new bypass valve, no more BOV for now.

 

David,

When you say your cylinder temps were at 220 degrees, are you talking about EGT? Is that centigrade or farenheit? Is there a way to monitor in cylinder temps?

 

Yeah its called an autometer cylinder temp gauge. the audi computer records that temperature. its F i live in america and even though im in a scientific field i refuse to use metric. anyways this forum is closed. i dont want to hear anymore of your ideas. I dont want to have to come over there and beat you with a camshaft.[sm=closed.gif]

 

So, is it wrong to ask questions?
