idle kpa?

idle kpa?
so every body has said to tune idle for lowest kpa possible, which is cool. my question is what kind of numbers are you guys seeing and are you happy with the idle quality. I 've gotten a pretty steady 850 rpm idle at about 32-34 kpa. I can get a bit more vac. but the quality of the idle gets pretty crappy no matter what I try. so at what point have you guys called it good and stop futzing with it?

I tend to idle between 28-30 at 900-950 RPM. This is at about 17° BTDC and AFRs cycling through the low 14s to low 15s.
I really wouldn't go too crazy obsessing over idle MAP. It's just not that big a deal.
Pat, why the crazy-rich AFRs? Aren't you running HR code?

You could say that. MS2E w/ 550's @ 62 PSI ~= 650cc. With the headwork I did the motor likes to run rich. I run 13:1 it gets a slight miss fire and it's not that strong at low RPMs. I idle 11:1 and it's butter smooth and loads of low end power. Might not make for the best economy but its torqy as hell down low.

Holy ****! 16kpa is insane! You can't even enter a value that low in the VE talbe y axis. Are you sure your map sensor is working properly? With car off does it show atmospheric pressure, ie does your BARO meet MAP with engine not running? I've seen 2 of the MapDaddy sensors go bad which is what you are using in your 94/95 MSPNP.

Right, i mean, i dont know why the pressure is that low.
Hmm, i will go do a couple of logs right now.

No need to log. Just open up Megatune. choose engine MAP gauge and Baro gauge. they should match when engine is not running.
My BARO here is 101. My map sensor reading got lower and lower. I finally switched it out when I as seeing 94 vs 101. A friend's did the same but got as low as 76. DIYAutotune replaced the sensors under warranty.
