Looks similar to my results, got some low BENs in the 15kPa column, too ...
If you are careful Id suggest you could skip adding 15% on a stock engine.
Also you guys might want to take a look at custom OS3 and 5.
Both have a fully commanded fuel map which means you never need PE again.
You can command rich at WOT and leaner at idle and low load to save some gas. Best of all worlds.
How is the car running now Garry? Any faster?
Most of the 15% is already out again on my tune ... Some areas are something like 5% over the stock tune, would need to go back and check the differences in the VE tables ... for the other OS; I recon I need to find someone to program it ;)
Apart from that, the motor seems smoother, idle RPM seems to have gone down some, dunno if that was caused be the BEN correction of the tables ...
Have a go at tuning idle with the RAFPN and RAFIG pids.
That will keep you busy for a while, you will get a nice smooth idle from it. You can even idle below 700 with the M6. I used to idle around 650.
Then play with throttle follower, thats a fun one. Oh hey, hand port your TB too.
ringram,
Thanks for replying. After reading through alot of the forum I know you and joecar know your way around this program and it's great to have your help.
While garry is tuning a pretty much stock engine I'm trying to tame this H/C full bolton setup and the cam doesn't seem to want to play fair.(231/237 595/598 112lc). I started by loading someones file I got from either Holden Crazy or the other site.(can't remember which for sure) His mods were almost identical to mine with a difference in name brand headers and he has a 2002. Mine being a 99 I went through each cat on the left of efilive and copy,pasted his VE, PE and idle figures. Most of the rest was similar. The car actually fired and idled decent which it wouldn't do at all on stock tune. I then started the AutoVE with that but only increased VE by 5% since the car was pig rich on the test run when I first installed the program. I have since been pulling alot out of the VE down low and VE is getting spikes even though the car is really comming on strong esp at WOT.
Cam sounds nice. You will need to spend some time in the lower reigons and might want to stay in SD too. You might find autove a little weird for idle cells.
If so try the bidirectional controlls and get the engine to idle smoothly with the leanest mix, mess with spark to smooth too. Cycle around RPM, AFR and Spark at idle to get it at the lowest MAP, then fix the values into the tune (Base spark, idle rpm, ve or prefrerably B3647) Thats how I attack things at idle. Oh then do the RAF Pids again. It usually takes a few iterations to dial it in fully.
I don't have a cam YET :D , so I don't can't say much...
but I agree with ringram, best idle with leanest AFR, and spark timing plays a good part in idle.
