the scalar is interesting.. at 80~90% of ethanol registered it should be 100% of the compensation table, yet you tuna has used 133%

Meaning it would be your base tables + 1.3x of the compensation table applied on top for fuel.

Hopefully the timing table isn't like that, because well... it's an interesting way to tune.

Also 44% more fuel is massive, 133% of 44% more fuel is obscene. The numbers just look... wrong?


The stoich values of 98 and E85 are too different surely for both the 98 tune and E85 tune to be right at the higher end of that scale. Either the 98 base tune is dangerously, dangerously lean, or the E85 is horrifically rich.

Now keep in mind, if you have the O2 sensor running and the controller doing its thing, it is possible for these correction maps to be really far out, and the O2 controller will do what it can to adjust. This may be the reason the car has bad E85 economy if it cannot actually trim enough up top. What is your AFR under load on E85 anyhow, what does the Haltech say/does it show in the onboard logs?

Not sure without going doing specific diagnostic runs.

I've got a mate coming over tomorrow who will want to go for a spin so can take the laptop and upload a trace then.

That said i think we established that my economy was about the same as others here.

I have a trace from winton but the car had a phat boost leak.

Just spoke to another local tuner and showed him those snaps and he said the same thing about it being unusual but could be fine depending on the rest of the setup.

He's happy to have a look at my log after I get one.

Will go from there.

It's interesting to say at the very least, I personally don't tune like that.

I'll provide screen shots of a S15 I did about 2 months ago with a halaltech when I'm home.  I personally did not follow the same approach as your tuna.

They call me the postman, because I always deliver...

Diagnostic csv from a quick run down the highway and back today.

Only 2MB, file expires in 48hrs. 

"Yeah I floored it and it was like 9 or 10 or something around full boost, or there abouts, yeah between around 4 and 5k rpm" 

Would have been heaps accurate and a great way to do some logging lol you muppet

Then you'd be the first person jumping on to say "You should have logged it properly." 

You must be a blast at parties lol

What you do care about besides being salty all over SAU lol 

I'm confused, why did you and are you still posting in this thread anyway? 

It's cool if you like me dude, we can take it to PM ;) 


 

 






 

 

Help? Do you mean asking your thoughts about your Evo? Or talking -9s and response etc? Not sure if I count opinions as "help", but then again you are helping by answering and giving me your thoughts so I guess that's a fair point of view from a certain perspective - if that's what you mean. Come to think of it, you're actually probably more "helpful" and generally less salty in PM. 

I like this sort of "help" you provide lol Took about 2minutes and that was only going back through a handful of my own threads and lately. Keep up that helpfulness :D

So yeah, I guess maybe that's the way "I" wanna be and nothing to do with you at all lol

Ah well, we'll always have Paris xox

Other than the curvature of the earth, they are kind of all valid points :P

But yes O2 gauge is kind of needed, everything else seems "fine"

If you wanted to get real creative you could measure your VSS against time, to see if you were really slower between two specific points/runs. This however would require the problem to be reproducable at will. Or at least happen while you are logging it.


Note: I didn't see the boost actually hit the limit of what the ECU is seeing at all. MAP pressure was all 21.5ish points, when it goes over the limit it will just flatline at 22.8 or w/e it is. The graphs do not show this.

Given the context of those comments, not really ;)

Dyno will fix all with new map sensor and cams, then all of this will be a distant memory (also closed loop boost unless there's something I'm missing about wy you'd want to be open loop?). 

Still doesn't explain why every comment seems to imply the fuel tables are "odd".

 

They look "odd" because E85 typically needs "30%" (give or take) more fuel than 98. In the real world its actually a little less.

They also need 30%, all over the rev range. It does differ a little under load (otherwise it would be 30 in every cell!) but not from 19 to 43%.

Yours goes from 19% under low load, to 43% under full load.
In addition to that,  your tables imply that you add 133% of the correction when you have 80% ethanol in the tank.

This would mean it would be 133% of 43%.

20% is too little and your E85 would be dangerously lean.
43% is too much and this means either your E85 map is fine (and your 98 is too lean) or your E85 is too rich.

Note: The above numbers are when 100% of the correction is being applied to a decent base map.
However.... yours is 133% of the numbers applied!.

133% of the correction being applied means that everything is 'out' even further'. The numbers are impossible numbers, it can't be correct, unless something is making it be correct, which is what the O2 WB does, it adds and removes fuel to try and hit the target on the "Target AFR" map, which is basically closed loop fuel control. The Target AFR map doesn't appear to be too bad as it's looking for 12:1 AFR under full load.

It is common/advised practice to have the base map as accurate as possible, and not have an O2 controller have a monstous effect, though the Haltech lets it apply up to 25% more or 25% less fuel if need be. If this fails for any reason you are going to have a bad time if it is set up this way.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
