First and foremost, I do understand that not everyone is a fan of WMI but I tend to think that with the help of a good tuner, the system should be beneficial. Also, for some of us who don't have economical access to E85, there really isn't much else.
Anyway, from what I understand, if there is a WMI pump failure, a leak, or any other type of failure that impedes or stops WMI during driving, a WMI failsafe system will automatically revert to a lower boost setting where the tune will handle the lower octane in the absence of WMI.
Would this actually be possible in a supercharged setup since boost is based on pulley size? For instance, If a JRSC is tuned on WMI with the standard pulley size (which is 9 or 10 psi, I believe?) and there is a WMI failure, are we looking at engine failure most likely since boost cannot be adjusted lower?
Or would it be possible, in the event of WMI failure, that the tune can immediately switch to lower parameters on the lower octane and save the engine despite boost still being at the standard pulley size?
I know this should be discussed with a tuner but just wanted to check with the knowledgeable memebers here perhaps from direct or indirect experience?
Thank you
