I apologise for the slow progress on this. I need to have a new WBO2 sensor bung welded into my exhaust since I replaced the stock axle-back exhaust with the HKS. I'm really wanting to get this thing back on my priority list...

awesome job with the tuning a/f!

I didn't get a chance to find out how much power I was getting from it before disconnecting it. I'm still at the same status as last month, and haven't reinstalled the WBO2. I was laid off from my job, so the piggy-back is definitely not on the front burner...

Thanks. I hope that this will be a million dollar deal, but it certainly isn't a short term salvation.

The only update is that I still haven't worked on it since November of last year. Honestly, I am a little disappointed in the preliminary HP gains on my IS350. I'm sure it would be great for other lower output platforms, but it doesn't seem so for the IS350. Hopefully, I will prove myself wrong sometime soon.

ha gernby, you know where I live and am obviously not afraid to mod/screw with my 350.

call me if you are interested in trying it on another car. I am at 6k miles now

That's an incredible coincidence, since I do believe that I broke wind at about 1:24:12 PM today...

You still looking for an apprentice/helper?

I'm still trying to understand how making the car run leaner by just allowing less fuel into the engine improves torque, though. Aren't you still burning the same amount of fuel/air mixture? Or are you burning more because the chamber is hotter?

EDIT: Also, lobuxracer, I can't seem to find that video on how the stratified charge is formed. Do you know if they still have it?

Lobux can explain it better, but running rich causes a cool / inefficient burn that produces less power, but is less likely to predetonate.
