"Pinning" the secondaries open.
I have found mixed replies to this question on the internet but nothing as direct as I would like. I had a vaccum leak and it was causing my secondaries to only open some of the time. So I pulled my plenum, did some checking and managed to get the leak down to a manageable amount, but I went ahead and used a tie strap and tied the actuators open on both sides. (My car has the LPE 530 kit on it where it is in "full" mode at all times) I figured what would it hurt, what's the difference in this and removing the guts completely. Anyone else done this? Any adverse effects? Been running my car like this for about 500 miles and no issues yet.
One more question, anyone ever run any 100 octane low-lead aviation fuel? |

Re: "Pinning" the secondaries open.
100LL used to be a cheap way to get some octane to run nitrous on an 11:1 street-strip carbed muscle car I had, but if you still have catalysts, look out, it will quickly break the substrate up into rattling chunks.

Re: "Pinning" the secondaries open.
Was your calibration modified to run 2 injectors all the time? By opening the secondaries permanently, air is moving through the secondary runner as well. I suspect there some loss of velocity thru the primary runner but primary injector is spraying fuel only into one air stream while secondary air is getting into chamber without any fuel. You're getting enough fuel but not an even mixture IMO.

Re: "Pinning" the secondaries open.
You should be able to buy 100 unlead race gas, it will be pricey, $6 to 8 per gallon
This should help http://www.osbornauto.com/blend.htm |
