Re: A little help with the engine testing diagram

What do I do if the throttle starts to go red, how do I fix that?

Good god. How on earth are you managing to do that? Maybe upload your .lua files here if it isn't too much trouble, I'm curious now.

Rev between 6 and 7, near the wastegate light, and the throttle starts to go bad.

Re: A little help with the engine testing diagram

It goes away with the addition of a direct injection / throttle per cylinder config, but that was too expensive for the engine.

Re: A little help with the engine testing diagram

Possibly it means that there is not enough fuel being injected?

Re: A little help with the engine testing diagram

The throttle turning red means that the engine wants to suck in more air than it can. It's related to the power figure shown when you select the fuel system.

Re: A little help with the engine testing diagram

As per what Killrob said, alternatively, the turbo's pretty large for the engine as it is. Shrinking the compressor also yields immediate results.
