Another Megasquirt question
Discussion
I've just been reading the "Fitting Megasquirt" thread, and somethings come to mind; not wanting to interrupt the discussion there I thought I'd start this thread.
Next season I'm planning on fitting MS to my Chimaera racer. The primary series I'll be racing in has a class limit of 175hp (wheels) /1000kg, however I'm planning on racing in other series which are capacity based on an as and the time/funds allow basis. For simplicities sake I'll probably end up running two maps, one that limits power on the ignition at top end and an all out map.
However I believe Automatic Mixture Control is similar to the way GEMS orks on P38 Range Rovers, so...running in AMC mode is it feasible to run against A/F to get the power limits, eg normally run the engine lean for the 175hp/1000kg then run at something like 12.5lambda for out and out power?
The worry is things getting hot and pinking running lean etc, especially in a race situation. It seems an academic solution for my application, but interesting as a project i guess.
