Auto VE or Calc VET or Auto Maf?!?!

[Nver2loud]

I have read so many posts and all seem to be a little bit different. I have tried to settle on doing an Auto VE, but I cant seem to replicate what the instructions say as far as which PID's to log. I downloaded and printed the Auto VE tutorial, I see this is from 2007. Is this still a safe guide to follow? I only see that it recommends 12 PID's to log, where as the other guide I was reading had 24 PID's to log.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, this is a LS1B with an LC1 wideband via serial on a v2.

Auto VE is fine for an ls1 mate

Hi Nver2loud,

I am reasonably new to tuning. The advice I have been given is to start with the Calc Vet tune. This will bring your VE and Maf Tables to an acceptable condition for your Vehicle. I am also running the LS1B and an LC1 (which is hooked up via a serial lead).

The Calc Vet method is very easy to do.

Lay, thanks for the info. Which write up did you use to go through with the calc.vet? Did you have any troubles validating your PID's?

Hi Nver2loud,

I have attached the two documents I downloaded from the Tutorial section from this forum. These are what I went off for my directions for Calc Vet. You need to read both of them through a couple of times to fully grasp and understand the proceedure. There is always something that you may over look until you are at that stage of the process.

Joecar is a good source of information. I have bounced any questions of him when I am not sure.

The key to the PIDs is knowing what other PIDs also need to be seclected before each PID is considered valid. If you have a PID that should be valid, but is showing as not valid, you can right clicking on the PID and then click info and this will tell you why it in not valid.

I have attached the latest Calc PIDs that Joecar gave me the other day. Calc PIDs are the backbone of the Calc Vet and Calc MAF proceedures.

If your WBO2 and your Calc PIDs are not set up correctly then the proceedures will not work. I have attached the PIDs file I use.

Is your LC1 set up serial or analog? If your LC1 is set up anolog then you will have to amend the Calc PID txt file. Joecar would be the best to talk to about that. He is the right up to speed with calc PIDs.

I hope these help!

Ok, I just tried to get the info on the PID of Dynamic Air temp, and "more info" is grayed out, not an option. All I have is Imperial/Metric, background color, font and revert. All of the others I have a "more info" button.

On the injectors are they stock for your motor? Or did yours come stock with someting else. From what Joe said there is an irregular dip and jump which I am certain will cause many issues. Id go to filedepo and download a couple stock files of cars that use your same motor or injectors...compare their settings. At minimum Id copy and paste one that looks correct.
I had a stock injector file but didnt see any newer LSx injectors.

Also is your FPR good? again just thinking out loud obvious stuff to me that may slip ones mind

Now this may sound really dumb...But I have tried to save the calc.pid files from other threads, and is this supposed to self populate a PID list when opened???

No, the calc pid provides the pids...

Laychut's file CALC.VET.pit selects those pids when you open this file from the PIDs tab.

Hi Nver2loud,

I am not sure how much of a play you have had with Scantool V7.5, but if you need a bit of a walk through on how to select the PIDs in scan tool I have attached a link to a good interactive tutorial.

http://download.efilive.com/Tutorial...a PID List.htm

Below is a Screen dump of where you need to copy the Calc PIDs. When you try to copy it here it will ask if you want to replace the existing copy. If this is the original Calc PID file that came when you installed the scantool software then select yes. If you have previous replace this file with a modified Calc PID file then you may want to compare the files and add the additional calculations to that file. If this is the case, I can do that for you if you are not sure how to do it.



Most of your Calc PIDs will be found in the "Tune" or "Tuning" system (screen dumps below). If you open the Calc PID.txt file and scroll right down you will see a column called " System". This will tell you under what system you will find the PID you are chasing (see screen dump below).



Hope this helps!
