PCV with 2 maps AGAIN
#11
I'm amazed at how many PCV owners aren't using this feature. I think it is an important function that most users overlook or perhaps don't even know about.

I use my leaner map about 99% of the time, switching to the second richer map only when it is very hot outside and I know I'm going to be in slow stop-and-go traffic. For me it isn't needed at all in cooler weather, like 80° or less. OTOH if you don't have an oil cooler installed you would probably use it much more often. I think the two go hand-in-hand for a complete solution to cooling issues. That said, there are times in summer when my oil temp hits 230° and EITMS (heat mgt.) kicks in, as oil temperature stays reasonable on the road moving at 45mph or more.

It allows the engine to rev to 6250 rpms instead of the previous factory limit (5200 or whatever). I almost never go past 4500 rpms, so the benefit for me is nil.

I am getting a PCV soon as well and wanted to do 2 maps, 1 really lean and hot for millage and one really rich and cool for power and traffic. Reading through this thread makes me wonder if there is a way for a third map? One in-between both of these that could be used on long trips but in the middle of a hot summer. I know you could get a rocker switch and have 3 positions, forward (1), middle (2), and back (3). But can the PCV do that? I doubt it but just thought I would ask. I guess in this situation on a hot day on a long interstate trip you could just flip it to the richer map for a while and then back to the lean map for milage.
