    Default Tuning Assistance

    Hey guys looking for a little direction for my truck. Built motor 100% injectors, dual CP3's, S475 single, 2500 stall converter. I am having a little difficulty spooling my turbo. This is the latest tune I have built and would like to know if there are areas that I could improve on to help spool the turbo.

    Thanks in the advance guys!

    Me personally, I would start by correcting your pulse width tables in the idle areas to bring actual fueling inline with what it is fueling better(you have more pulsewidth in the idle areas than stock, I owuld imagine the ECM is only showing 3 or 4 MM3 of fuel at idle on this tune with that big of an injector). You don't have many changes to the pulsewidth in the lower RPM areas to correct for 100 over injectors. 2nd I would pull ALOT of timing out of your tune down low. Your running ALOT of timing for that big of an injector IMO. 4.2 degrees at idle, and rapidly ramping up to 8 isn't good for spooling a charger. Retarding the timing will send more of the heat out the exhaust to help spool the turbo(but it is a balancing act because retrding it to much will give you alot of black smoke). And what I found to help my stock charger was to ramp up the rail pressure quicker, shutting pilot off sooner, and reducing pilot timing up high. It will make the engine louder, but I can light off my stock LB7 charger almost as quick as a VVT does on a newer truck now.

    try B0748 Pilot Injection Quantity

    in the lower RPM and high mm3 areas drop em to 0

    for timing (stock charger) I have real low timing numbers in the same areas, and like Ferm mine spools just as fast as my LMM if not faster. obviously you will need to make your adjustments based on your larger turbo and how loose the converter is and dont forget the transmission shift speed, that can help too

    "with stock and built trans in it"

    not sure what you mean by this but in general, yes.

    the biggest difference is you can't turn it up as much with a stock trans vs built. keep the HP less than around 50-60 above stock fueling with a stock transmission if you want it too live long. fueling plays a big part in how fast the turbo spools. less fuel typically means slower spooling turbo. but stock turbos spool pretty fast already but can be make faster following the above posts.
