Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted August 20, 2024 Share Posted August 20, 2024 If you're using an Elite, disable the transient fuel function and use the MAP prediction. It's light years ahead of the transient crap.

Both ST and LT fuel trims are there to be used. Think of a modern EFI stock car, they utilise both ST and LT as well. Of course you want to have the injector data, coolant temp, fuel temp, fuel density, baro, air temp tables all correctly defined with fuel trims against them so your LT and ST aren't working hard to meet the AFR targets. You'll also find that with bigger cams, you might need to target a bit richer than stoich as you'll find it will buckle.

Also more importantly, manually smooth out your fuel map afterwards as it will make it ugly and lumpy after applying.Β Edited August 20, 2024 by TurboTapin Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485751-severe-lungeing-at-carpark/page/2/#findComment-7992412 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinkstaah Posted August 20, 2024 Share Posted August 20, 2024 I mean ideally trims are there because base tables are never 100% accurate. You want them to be as accurate as you can possibly get them, but temperature variations, different altitude, heat, everything likes to mess with how accurate a base table can be. Fuel trims and Narrowband/Wideband fuel control exist to realistically fill this gap/fuzzy factor, and do their job great. But while they will drag your AFR/Lambda to a target, you want them to have to do as little work as possible. Don't tweak any of this stuff without a wideband. Unless it's something like "Disable 'Ghost Cam' because it's very obvious when looking into the Tune", you are guessing with regards to your AFR. You are absolutely right and it's far better to spend the money on a Wideband controller (especially with haltech) and the fab to get it plumbed in NOT where the narrowbands sit (it is supposed to be 1 meter from the turbo), and teach yourself all this little finicky stuff. This is stuff no tuner can ever really be expected to get perfect, but the owner of the car will see SO much livability improvements by learning and tweaking these things - With the proper tools. It IS the difference between "Oh yeah my tuned car drives a bit like a tuned car" and "My car drives like a factory car" It does take a lot of time and tweaking and fun, but you'dΒ neverΒ want to be paying $150 an hour for someone else to spend that much time on it.

Love that info, agree with all of it. I have a WB1 controller for it, and i welded the bung around a metre from the turbo down near the transmission. Seems to work well and should not get baked too quickly... I'm happy to hear others acknowledge the whole "drives like a tuned car" deal as i was initially disappointed after the first couple tunes, but have since learnt the reality. I can only imagine how many hours would be in a factory ecm to get a factory car driving like they do! Keen to get the LTFTs up and running and maybe i'll see a little improvement over time ππ» Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485751-severe-lungeing-at-carpark/page/2/#findComment-7992425 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So thats still in progress. Also, i richened up the fuel map slightly and Β gave it more ignition advance to smooth out the idle which also helped. I've got some good advice to follow with other settings also so theres more to do. ππ» 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485751-severe-lungeing-at-carpark/page/2/#findComment-7992439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
