Re: manual Flashlube on a turbo car

As stated above, positive pressure from the turbo most likely wouldn't be created just on cruise.
It's the same theory for brake boosters, turbo cars can still create a vac in the booster. But they usually have a 1 way valve so it doesn't get pressurized when turbo comes on and exceeds atmospheric ...

Re: Adjustment screws and tuning on OMVL R90/e converter

Yeah the bottom one is much longer, the top one wouldn't wind that far out.
Both are the same head, 8mm.

Is there a way I can check, like if I wind one all the way in should it eg. not have any effect on idle?

Here is a picture. the top screw is labeled bypass and bottom is idle. so is that correct or wrong? I'd be suprised the casting on the converter is wrong. But everyone seems to indicate the ...

Re: Adjustment screws and tuning on OMVL R90/e converter

Thanks all, so which screw is which.. as the omvl 90/e manual I found stated that the smaller screw is idle and the larger is the mixture adjustment. But the writing on the side of my converter would state the opposite.

Also sure these are simple carb designs but I would have thought as the engine ...

Adjustment screws and tuning on OMVL R90/e converter

Hello, I am trying to tune an omvl r90/e converter.

It has 2x brass screws on it, one has a label 'idle' and the other 'by-pass'.

All the doco i read says it should say idle and sensitivity and that idle and by-pass are much of the same thing. So bit confused.

Neither of these screws have a ...

Re: Unhappy - fitter used open loop. Need new processor idea

Well yeah I am only trying for better economy.. I'll permanently mount my wideband 02 meter so mixtures/lambda can always be kept in check. At the moment the sensor is just in the tailpipe but i'll weld a bung in up closer to the manifold so it should be more accurate.

I guess I wasn't thinking ...

Unhappy - fitter used open loop. Need new processor ideas.

Hi all, i'm after some advice thanks.
I have a Toyota Landcruiser (80 series 4.5ltr) which I just had converted to a venturi style LPG system.

Now the model landcruiser I have (1995) didn't have a factory 02 sensor, though it is EFI, it was some marketing ploy by Toyota to make it a commercial ...

Thanks for the reply.. I can tune the idle mixture back to stoich with the adjustment on the converter. I think the problem there was that last time I adjusted the idle mixture was when it was running in its intermitent lean problem.

I've checked the radiator coolant and seems good, the converter ...

LPG system occasionally runs very lean

Hi all, hoping someone might be able to help me troubleshoot this problem I am having with an 80 series toyota landcruiser on LPG.

The converter is a AIROD with a simple mixer. It is closed loop using a stepper motor. Unsure of the lpg closed loop controller as the previous owner or lpg fitter has ...
