The only way I can learn is by understanding what is done and why it was done. From what I gather, this setting should not have been changed. I was just asking for the functions of these settings, how they affect the tune and why they would have been changed. Clearly the tuner who did the initial tune on my car was just trying to get their money for the least amount of work. Maybe if I learn and understand what all these settings mean, I can write my own tune from scratch. Maybe its not broken, but its certainly been bent out of shape, so rather than slap some paint over it, lets beat it back into shape then put the paint on.

what you "could" do is set the AFM values to the default values and rework your entire injection table, just leave the ignition table the way it is.

but be carefully the car might run excessively lean, so compensate on those areas once you have a feel for the map

How did you sort reversion issues? My air filters sound like Darth Vadar the way they breath in and out

this was on a single turbo setup, i moved the afm far away from the turbo which fixed my issues.

You'd need to do the ignition table also. The AFM flow-voltage mapping is the load axis for both tables.

Come to think of it, you have a very valid point, changing the afm scaling will affect how the powerfc determines load

like i said, if you are prepared to start again, then just reset the power fc and start from scratch. or you can just fine tune your cruise map and be done with it.

Fueling I can adjust. Timing not so much as I am not sure of the safe points and there is no standard principle. I shall do what you suggest as it is the easiest way. Prior to this though ill try the aem 1v nb simulation and see if this does what I desire.

as the others have said, why fiddle if you dont need to?

on this main screen there are two key settings

one is the afm bending range per voltage range

the values are 0 to 100 and are % correctional

these values remain the same regardless what AFM you select from the pre-set table

this allows the tuner to quickly and easily shift the load axis that is used without editing every single ING and INJ value on the map

so basically you can quickly and easily tune the whole car without editing tons of cells over and over

most tunes simply do this and its all good

selecting a specific AFM loads the corresponding AFM ramp table at the bottom (the 5 rows of numbers from 01 to 20)

this is the raw values for each AFM preset. dont fiddle with these unless you know what you are doing and are trying to address a specific issue with that specific AFM and a certain load point

adjusting the afm bend to all 100%'s will throw your tune out

leave them as is

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
