Disable overrun fuel-cut during high-load periods?

Post by MWPau »

Hi all,

When i enter a track-day or similar i manually disable overrun fuel-cut to help with combustion chamber cooling.

Can this be added as a MS3 option?
Something like: If avg load over the last XXsec is over XX%, disable overrun fuel-cut.

Thanks.

I would think running air through the combustion chambers would be more effective cooling than a rich mixture.

Just passing air VS air+liquid... its pretty obvious which one cools better.

Running rich on overrun is a pretty common method of aiding in chamber cooling.

That would only work if you also did a spark cut.

Or ran it so rich it wouldn't ignite, but that creates it's own set of problems.
