I've heard alot about the Stage 2 running rich. What does that mean? How do prevent it from running rich? (I haven't got the Stage 2 yet)

OMG....

you will get flamed to death boy... use the search button



it runs rich, so you dont kill your engine (if you dont know what you are doing, like it seems you dont) you can lean it out by boost controllers and other mods..

All i gotta say man, is that YOUR FIRED!! Search for it. :rofl: :rofl:

im trying to look for it but i cant find it... alls i need to know is... does running rich matter that much and is it a deffinate if i get the stage 2 and what do i need to fix it

 

[sylathnie]

Cause I'm a nice guy:
Yes stage 2 runs rich.
No you don't want to "fix" it.
It runs rich so that the extra fuel will help keep your EGTs down, and therefore not melt anything.

Anyone may correct me if I'm wrong

rich = lower air to fuel ratio.

For example, say that a Air to Fuel ratio of 12:1 is considered ideal, then a 9:1 ratio would be rich, while a 14:1 would be lean.

Hope that helps.

 

[Black03SRT-4]

so does running rich=slower? and since u cant fix it what do u do? is there some way to adjust the air:fuel ratio with the S2?

 

[john k]

You are assuming that s2 is'nt working properly. Think about that for a second or two. If you have to ask if the a/f is adjustable, do you really think you will be adjusting it? S2 is what it is. Besides initial wastegate adjustment and boost leak checking, it's bolt on and enjoy.

Ok looks like your safe now.

Hope that helps.

^what he said. IMO I would rather run a little rich (like 9-10:1) than ideal.

i PMed you back...hopefully you'll get it from the 2page thesis i sent you :lol:

 

[thunder6g]

can I have this thesis also? Pwease
I hate to ask these questions so I just read all I can find but I have been out of the lop for about 2 months- and now my S2 w/o is in the mail finally!!!!

 

[Black03SRT-4]

why would i have to adjust the wastegate when i get a S2? Iv'e never really understand wastegates and wastegate acutators (saem thing)...so can some1 please explain them and why i have to adjust it for the S2?

Bingo...someone is paying attention. Your average dyno operator will throw S2 on the dyno and say "hey we can lean this thing out and get some more power." They are right, you can. But its not all about a/f. EGTs are very important too. Just don't mess with it

 

[sea-level]

stage 2 running rich is mopar's way of saying "it's ok!! turn the boost up a little"

 

[SRT_USAF]

Someone I know has a melted rear section of bumper, peeling chrome and one tip that is almost burnished gold because he ran a MBC and WGA lean. He also had o2 sensors go out regularly

Rich is your friend. 10:1 lets me run 20psi on 91 octane. Oh and some people who can tune, that helps too.
