    Default VE corrections and Humidity

    How much will variations in humidity effect the AFRs? When i logged mine today some cells that were getting close were a few % richer due to the humidity??

    It was raining and misting at the time - once when i emerged from the rain on the freeway into what was much drier air the AFRs seemed to climb up closer to desired

    Is there a figure that can be put on it.

    The intake air temperature has a noticable effect on the AFR when running speed density. Is it possible the air temp changed when you went from rain/mist to drier conditions?

    EFIlive's 03 custom operating system includes VE correction tables based on intake air temp.

    Steve, forget the AFR's, what are the Qtec's like?, I wanted to get some of those myself, maybe just even to crawl through underground car parks and set off alarms!. I was also worried about our laws with regards to such things.
    If you were logging, as Blacky suggested, it may be IAT related, check the IAT temps.

    Cheers,

    QTECs are awesome. Large multi deck carparks can be fun - we often leave like a scene from a funny movie!!.

    They are 5 seconds to quiet or loud. Only con on my setup is that there is little bit of sound leak through the valve, so on quiet it is pretty quiet but its a bit of a dirty quiet.

    The car idles at 650-700rpm but with the cam and the 10.7:1 the idle can be felt as a sound even on quiet. On loud it sounds like a big block thumper - heaps of people that have heard it love it.
