Re: VR emulator for board soldering validation

I dont know if this helps or not but I have been checking simply using an old vr abs sensor on a couple of pins to push onto the vr input pins and a fork to wiggle it between, this is able to make the ecu at least see a real rising falling of a vr and so far no issues. Very low tech but it has been ...

Re: MAF vs Speed Density, why do we prefer which one?

Our maf is done in a way that the number in the table is equivalent to a correction %.

The maf algorithm calculates cylinder filling and the table is only there to be able to calibrate out resonance, inaccuracies and other effects.

Re: Auto-tune does not produce good results

Numbers taken from the log so accounting for all corrections before injection. It is a medium amount of fuel, if you were traveling at 60 mph it would be 4.5mpg. It is enough to make it worth checking fuel pressure for drops and for me to look at other logs and see if there is a pattern above that f...

Re: Auto-tune does not produce good results

As a bench mark it is about 15kw to spin a 600cc engine to 6k. But that is steady state and ignoring what we are seeing here. You need very little power to maintain the speed of the crank, you need a lot more power to accelerate the crap out the crank in a short period of time. By the same argument ...

Re: Auto-tune does not produce good results

oooh, I strongly second the fuel pressure sensor. If your fuel pressure is dropping due to a lack of flow under boost then you will see the VE wind up as it tries to give more fuel but cannot as the flow rate of the injectors is dropping with the pressure. This might also explain your 6000rpm "...

Re: MAF vs Speed Density, why do we prefer which one?

Its a 100% MAP/speed density job for the turbo vw. MAF is good but tuning MAF for boost is much harder. Edit - for clarity MAP and speed density is generally better for turbo cars as it captures the increased pressure better than a MAF system. MAF is better at getting an accurate picture of the amou...

Re: red 2003 VVT test mule Miata NB2 #27

Had a look at the logs, you seem to be cranking until you build up enough fuel to start. Try setting your "fuel base mass (mg)" to about 35 and try again. I will take another look at the log once you have had a chance to try that one change. I think most of the other settings are good enou...

Re: red 2003 VVT test mule Miata NB2 #27

If you have to apply pedal to get it to cold start try either removing some fuel or adding some IAC. This is often an issue that the AFR is too rich on cold start or the engine overall needs more air for decent cylinder filling for starting.

Some general tuning comments: Tcharge should probably set to the basic RPM+TPS mode for now. Coolant fuel multiplier curve is quite extreme. Try setting it to a smooth slope that has zero correction by 50 deg C. IAT fuel multipler is wrong, set it to flat 1 for now as 1.2 is giving 20% extra fuel at...

Re: Subaru SVX with custom RusEFI

For initial running you can leave that valve open, you will loose a bit of low end torque but it should be fine.

Right now nowhere but that will not knock out the on board USB mini.
I can say that with confidence as the fine wire on my test loom has broken so the connector USB is currently not connected to earth but it all still works fine when powered up via 12v.

Re: Getting accel enrich to function

Dude, WTF?

Your requesting the ECU give 50ms extra fuel all over the place. It's no wonder the AFRs in your logs are totally haywire.

You have to find out what a setting does before changing them at random. There is a reason the TPS delta map is set the way it is as default.
