    Default CALC.VET Struggles, VE Values Don't Seem Sane

    I'm wanting to do a CALC.VET to my 97 dually in signature. While I live in CO, I'm on vacation in MI at a much lower elevation and would really like to clean up the VE and MAF while I'm here. My fuel trims are typically pretty good, but PE fueling doesn't deliver what's commanded so I need to start here first. The only mods to the truck are a slightly larger cam, 42# injectors, and a Whipple supercharger. I tried a CALC.VET here last year with my 1500 and the MAF correction values came out sane, but the VE stuff was telling me I needed to double or triple my VE values. I know they're not that far off. I'm using the stickied tutorial:

    https://forum.efilive.com/showthread...in-single-log)

    My dually is now telling me to copy/paste with multiply over 3X the present value as well. My OS started life as 12208322, but now is 1270003 so GM.DYNAIRTMP_DMA ought to be defined for it. My Techedge wideband seems to be communicating properly, I put the calc_pids.txt file where I was supposed to, my VE is in g*K/kPa, none of the PIDs have red Xs. . . could this be somehow related to me being 2 bar and not 1 bar? I was able to do this successfully in CO a while ago on my 1500 so not sure what the deal is here today. I've attached a log and the current tune.

    Also, here's the calc_pids file I've been using.

    calc_pids.txt

    I've kept the original as well.

    I'll take a look, probably something simple.

    Thanks. I'm about to flash in the MAF changes. Simple math tells me I'll be pretty close on PE fueling with just the MAF change.

    Joe were you able to have a look? I'm about to set sail back for CO and won't be able to hit all the load cells there I can here.

    In the scantool, on the PIDs tab select the pid CALC.CL and then save the file.

    On the Data tab check that CALC.VET has a values.

    Map should now show values for CALC.VET.

    Oh it displays those values just fine. Truck runs pretty good so I doubt I need to multiply VE by 3 to get it in check. In fact, in SD, it was showing pig rich above 105 kpa as I'd just plugged in the tutorial values. Plug the MAF in and it's right back down around 11.5:1 that I'm commanding, so I know for sure both are wrong as hell but somehow playing nice together. I won't be back at an altitude where I can replicate this until after Labor Day. I'm lucky it will be so soon though.

    I'm in CA now, so can shift some focus back to this. Here's an example from my 1500 that I snagged back in CO. This first shot is after a quick jaunt, the smallest deltas indicate I need to bump around 30-40% while the biggest ones say I need to more than double my VE.

    So I did a quick 30% global VE bump, went out for another quick rip, and it's now just as bad if not worse.

    I would have expected to see those values get appreciably smaller but they did not. Something isn't right here, I have had it respond properly on other vehicles. That and there's just no way in Hell that my VE table is half of what it needs to be. Since I'm seeing similar values on the dually when I log it, I figure that I'm experiencing the same thing. 1500 has 12212156 based COS5 and the dually has COS3 based on a different OS.

    I just had a quick look at the log you posted and your IAT values are insane.

    Unintercooled twin screw, yeah they get up there for sure. Trucks still pull harder than they do NA. I often contemplate a turbo with an FMIC, but the blower is there and functioning. The dually in my sig just pulled my ~9000# 24' enclosed car hauler from CO to CA through all those hills, most of which were climbed locked in OD with the AC blasting away in the desert heat.

    The CALC.VET map is not the correction multiplier... it is the calculated VE...

    The Calc VET procedure corrects the MAF table and calculates the VE table from it.

    ( you will need to handraulically fill in unhit cells and make other adjustments... eyeball it and use common sense )

    On the map, turn on the Data Units.
