calling all d-jet masters ! OK so yes, ive read Anders etc and maybe missed it along the way, but how or what constitutes a part-load condition? I am trying to get my d-jet MPS dialed in on the 2.1 build. and it had been running really well, but just a tad lean still, so after going back and reverifying my timing and other settings, checking plugs aftera 750 mile trip, its really close and realizing i was probably a bit low on the fuel pressure i made that correction and then set out to do some local highway driving to test it out, and really felt good, but maybe a bit rich at low end, idle and what i was thinking would be part-load. BUT i think i over corrected on the MPS and now i went from being in the 12-12.5 range at idle and also cruising at 3000-3400rpm, i now am running light at about 14 on that mid-range cruising. it is good on WOT so i dont want to mess with that(full load stop) . i should have left well enough alone because i will probably be a bit heavy at idle and low end with this motor, due to a more performance minded cam profile etc. point is, what is part-load? if i am reading my AFR meter , lets say at 3000rpm- 3400rpm and cruising on the flat, that would be part- load condition correct? so i dont want to make it more rich at cruise or on WOT, so how can i isolate the mid range or par-load to enrich it with out messing anything else up. i already messed this up trying to just lean it out slighty and over corrected. if i adjust the inner screw by itself it changes both part and full load. the outer screw in will richen part load i believe lean out full- load. the Anders chart doesnt really address it. - also i feel i cant really get idle right, it seems too rich but that might be the way the motor will be, not sure. the MPS is a rebuilt one with Tangerine kit and adjustor screws, so easy to access and adjust using the Tangerine tools. I may be at the point of just going dual webber with 44 IDF's, and forsaking the d-jet - OR a more modern programable EFI...... i just dont think i am getting the most power out of this motor that i should or would with better air intake and A/F mix. intake is somewhat restricted on a stock d-jet and the injectors can only give you so much fuel. i did see somewhere anders wrote that the stock set up could support a build up to 2270 even with the proper changes( not sure what that means either), anyway first question is - part load definition. then how to proceed to get this mid-range or par-load adjusted into a better mix with out making idle even more rich(or WOT either) Thanks for the help.

Here's a point of reference for what it's worth.
2056 Raby 9550 cam Hoffman heads with 44x38 mm valves 123 distributor w/ vac advance profile 1 Timing 27 btdc Fuel pressure 29 psi Standard motor FJ67 injectors MPS settings - 0 inHg - 150H - 4 inHg - 128H - 15 inHg - 80H AFR - Idle 14.5 - Part load - 13.5 - WOT - 12.5 Idles nicely at 900 rpm Engine seems very happy |

@adolimpio
that helps, i need to get an LCR meter!!! our builds are similar, 2.1, my cam is almost identical to the 9550, my heads are the same (hoffman heads are just the AA castings then done up by Len) - looks like you are running close to stock timing, but stock 2.0 FP according to the Porsche book is 34 not 29, this might run you a bit lean, Now a couple differences is that my compression is 9.5/1 and i have a counter balanced crank( factory cranks were not). - that idle is too lean IMHO, but you part load and full load numbers are close to what i am shooting for as well. Last night i got it close. I also stayed with the no vac hooked up and advance setting is the one that goes to 3400 rpm. I am also running a bit more advance, at 30 btdc, it seems to like that much better. This motor would probably be a lot better off with carbs , but i will keep with this for now.
