I have a 97 Spyder GST with stock internals. I have the usual intake/exhaust mods. (FIPK, Greddy UIP, 3" turbo back exhaust) I run an XS Engineering "16G Killer" turbo set up. With this I run it at 1 bar set with my Joe P MBC. For fuel, the previous owner of the car decided to upgrade to a Walbro 255lph fuel pump. For some reason, he did not upgrade the FPR to an AFPR. I know I am running rich, as the pump should be outrunning the OEM FPR. I don't have the cash to immediately upgrade to an AFPR right now.
Can I still tune effectively using my Greddy Peak/Hold EGT guage with TRE EGT probe, Gadgetseller digital o2 gauge, SAFC II, and pocketlogger? If so, how would you recommend I do so? I don't have a wideband 02 setup, but could go to my local shop to tune on their dyno with wideband. First, I have to fix my oil leak though.
Can I keep adjusting the boost up until Exhaust Temps are hitting 850-875 deg. C and peaking for a short period at 900 deg. C? Is this setup too unpredictable to try to tune that close to the edge?
Thanks for your help.
 
Don't tune using your EGT. Don't tune using your o2 gauge.Tune using your logger. Do a pull from 3k to redline in third gear, and log your timing. When it starts dropping, that's when you're knocking (probably too lean). Adjust the SAFC to make it a little richer at that RPM. Search on here for more in depth info.
