Ok on to the theory - suppose we put in a 160 thermostat (or whatever is
less than the
magic temp) which wont allow the engine to reach the magic threshold that
tells the
computer that it has warmed up now - its ok to go closed loop. O2 sensor
isnt a
problem now and ALL the time we are reading from that built-in map.
Built-in map -
thats constant! Using EGT sensors or a wide-band O2 sensor - cant we
basically make
the motor do pretty much ANYTHING we want? Just up the fuel pressure or
bigger
injectors to match the extra breathing at ALL rpms? Sounds good - at least
part of
it. That dang 160 degrees stands out like a sore thumb tho. Cant imagine
much power
with a cold motor. Have you noticed that some of those 12s trucks run 160
thermostats? Will this work or Where is it falling apart? Any ideas?
--------------------
ok on theory if all this hinges on lets say a 160 deg thermo but we all know
that isnt good for the perf why not give the puter a false code with a
resistor in the wire to the water temp sensor ??
