Hi HDDP,
I check in on the forum every once in a while - things seem the same, you, Woody and a couple others doing all the posting on race and performance.
I have been doing quite a bit of reading on fuel injection etc and invested a few GB pounds is some bits as I prepare to fuel inject a 1975 Toyota Landcruiser (straight 6 4.2l, max revs about 3,800 rpm!). Anyway one purchase was a wideband O2 sensor with display, heater control and voltage output. Seemed a useful purchase seeing as I will have to create all the fuel maps from scratch.
Back to Crossfires - do they run narrow or wide band O2 sensors, my thinking is if they run wide band it might be possible to fit an aftermarket unit like mine (
www.vems.us) and then send the output into the ECU - after altering is slightly to create a AF closer to 13.5 or so. For that matter I think the VEMS unit might be able to simulate the narrowband output.
One complication with the 112 engine is whatever the sensor there will be two of them! (edit - not counting anything after the cats).
Anyway - all on the limit of my knowledge...back to my 135 bhp 4.2...I do have an Eaton 112 Supercharger from a Jag for it...wonder what the XF would make with that attached...
