Your right there Matt. Iv adjusted the idle @ 14.7:1 and reset back to closed loop with fair results. I am how ever pinging at around 3600--up. Have chased it out all the way up to 5600 but is a real pr1ck to do on your own.. I'm due for the dyno this Saturday. Maybe easier than on the road.

I have had hunting and it has always been caused by lean mixtures. ie 16:1 being the center instead of 14.7:1.  

I dont know what my mixture are, but to smooth my idle out I just kept pulling fuel and adding timing - the richer I go, the more prone it is to hunt?

what map settings do you have for ign and inj in the first 5x5 cells? if you have time to check them:)

Can you use the O2 sensor (or some other method) to read AFR's? If so, what voltage = what AFR?

I wouldn't mind doing some road tuning, but have no idea what my AFR's are (guessing

The first five cells I try to keep very similar(Ign)( no more than 18degrees from 15). I found with my 264 cams the richer i go the more stable idle is. The car wants soo much more air to idle that the idle up screw is all the way out and I had to re-adjust my throttle stop screw aswell.

sh1t, I am running between 34 and 36 degrees:) and fuel is between 0.988 and 1.004. I have found any more fuel and she doesnt like it - still a bit rich though.

got the AAC valve all the way out too, but found by setting the TPS to 0.60V it was happy, didnt mess with the throttle stop.

Jeeze- heaps of timing, I'll have to see what mine likes. I only started playing with my idle last night. I was refering to my standard cams in regards to hunting.I drove to work this morning and it sat on 2000rpm all the way... not cool lol. Love the sound at idle with the cams, it sounds so tuff. you can feel each individual explosion in your chest.

Temp correction AFAIK, corrects amount of fuel being delivered - similar to a choke function, so the car will idle on warm up.

If you find it idling better on 1.15, perhaps you need to adjust the maps? Raises an interesting point though, why does the power fc allow correction at full operating temp?

First see if you are running closed loop or not, in ETC, under FUNCTION SELECT. It can be enabled and disabled in the same way knock warning is.

Is it best to leave it on or off for normal driving?

If you car is tuned at low rpm for cruzing and saving fuel the turn it off. If you have a normal tune then you should leave closed loop on so that the computer can make fuel corrections on the fly and save you fuel. If your oxygen sensor is old and dirty then closed loop will screw your fuel consumption...

I've read some people have probs with the PFC causing hunting at idle and mine is doing it.My AAC valve worked fine before all of the mods but now it sometimes hunts and stalls if i give it a rev or slowing down,Same if you have a atmo venting BOV.

Also if a back off sometimes it's like someones blipping the throttle WTF is with that?

just a note to expand on Steves detailed post on tuning for economy......when doing the cruise set up at 50kpm, 80kpm & 100kpm at light throttle on a level piece of road the ignition can by set fairly high. I have my PFC at about 38 degrees at these points. This also enables you to run a nice lean mixture which further increases economy. Be careful to pull this timing out quickly though as load increases. The base maps will do this anyway but I'm just explaining why. The PFC pulls out 5degrees timing, hard coded, when you plant it anyway to help guard against detonation, this is non adjustable as for your own good anyway.

Also when the car is coming on to boost is when you start to aim for 12 to 11 :1 AFR on the wideband. To be more precise when your boost meter reads "0" (atmospheric), say on a medium hill holding a constant speed, you should aim for 13:1 ish. My GTR base map had 14.3:1 at this point and was a slug coming on to boost as a result!

Once boost is heading towards4 to 6 PSI aiming for 12.3 to 12.5 :1 is appropriate.

Once boost is up around 10 PSI you would want at least 12.2 to 12 :1 ....anything over 14 PSI 11.8 up to 11:1 is a must!

These are quidelines for the tune it yourself person, to get the best out your car a dyno tune is a must as differences of 0.2 of a AFR can make a big difference to torque and this can only be seen on a dyno graph. But as you can see the AFR increases gradually with boost until you reach the "best" figure for your car which could be anywhere from 12:1 (fairly lean at boost ) to 11:1 (fairly rich at boost but nice and safe)

hope this helps

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy. 
    • Welcome.  Was the mistake the car, or joining us? 😏
    • Yeap, was me and the daughter getting coffee before heading to the new joint to measure up the fridge space and taking some pics that the solar installer wanted of the switch board
