Where should my engine load be around idle? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My engine load is sitting around 34 percent while at idle. I'm running an avo turbocharger as well. Is this normal?

Yeah sure but mine is AT I am not sure if that effects it but I will check afterwork today for you. I will use ECUTEK though as I don't trust the torque app.

It is off. Ecutek is better. Please find out. Thanks

Just a note, load is not expressed as a percent, but as the amount of fuel going through the engine. So you're not seeing 34%, but 0.34grams/rev. If Torque is displaying it as a percent, I wouldn't immediately trust the value.

For NA, load tends to be around 0.3 at idle and up to 1.4 at WOT.
