Tuning Notes by WeathermanShawn

Weather permitting, I'm going to give this a try and create a new VE and MAF table to compare against my existing ones to see how close they are.

here's something new I wrote up, to hopefully clarify some issues you guys have been bringing up.

On this end I have completed my work. We successfully created a Calculated Pid that will allow a tuner on one-two logging runs to successfully calibrate the MAF, VE Table, and Trims simultaneously.

It took a while to incorporate charge temperature in the PID, but if you are interested in a simple method that works, I hope to have the final tuning guide online by tomorrow. So far we have gotten a MAF-Closed Loop and SD Closed-Loop with 2% of each other (both VE and Trim values) and WOT AFR.

Thanks for your patience. I hope it helps, especially for beginners.

..Hopefully just these three pids..

So just copy and paste the entire calc pid in the text file?

hmm. I did something wrong when setting up the calc.pid. I received the following error report when opening up the scan tool (not connected to a vehicle). I added the information into the sae.generic file under EFIlive/7.5 on the C drive. Hopefully I didn't screw up too bad. Any tips? Can I just delete the added info?

Error code: ERR_CONFIG/92
C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Configuration\sae_generic.txt(8 88): Units VEpcma not found. .

Got it fixed. Forgot to add the units. The Calc VE table is coming up as invalid. I assume that shouldn't be a problem once I connect to the vehicle.

[DrkPhx]

It's okay now. Go figure. I assume I use the newly created Calc VE pid for the Calc VE Map.

I have finalized the "Beginners Guide to Tuning."

Shawn,
I have just glanced over your final draft document and saved it for printing. I want to congratulate you and thank you for all of your hard work.

Highest regards,

Steve

Thanks Steve..

Yours is next!
