What Would Be class as Lean & Rich?

As im seeing 14.3-14.6 on plain Idle..Just trying to understand my Guage Readings thats all

Thats fine for idle. 14.7 is stoich which is perfect for idle. It will flicker around that number from low 14s to low 15s as its only controlled by narrowband.

they will flick about 14.7 as thats what narrow band controllers do.. they are switching lambda probes..
if your gauge stays steady its got a lot of signal smoothing being applied and refresh rate is likely damped. (sometimes adjustable in software if you can access it)

Right can someone tell me that all 1.8t are the same bar the 19mm And 20mm Wrist pins...

The reason Being Ive got a Spare AUM bottom End in the shed which im going to bore out and fully rebuild....

Ive got Scat Rods at the moment so all id need is piston Which fit 20mm Wrist Pins? as the AUM ones are 19mm Correct...

Would Fitting LCR/S3 Piston Be any Benifical:? As my Mates whos rebuilding it says its mucho easier to rebuild my Spare block & Head then once there done Fit all the Ancillairys on too it...

Whats everyone Think?

Eh? You said you're boring it out, so just get pistons to match your rods.

You cant bore it out and use standard pistons.

was going to but cant now due to funds...SO just getting it de-galzed ect could i fit 81mm pistoms with 20mm wrist pins phil? and use my AUM Bottom end?

As ud now i have Scat rods(20mm) so all i need is Piston to match and they'd fit straight in to my AUM Bottom End?
Thanks

change how..?

i can't bore it out due to funds as the cost of the boring & New Pistons....

Plus whats the problem with me changing my mind bill...Its my Build so don't you think im allowed to change my mind on different things and as many times as i want.!!...

no, what Bill means Danny is it comes across confusing as to what exactly you want

As to myself and many others, the spec seems to change quite frequently or at least there is a lack of clarity to the supporting internal modifications that will be present when the car is mapped - fair comment?

I have just read over the last thread on this page, and I am confused myself....
