Is somebody working with one or multiple Dyno manufacturers to provide some sort of standard 0-5V output that can be calibrated (0V = 0 TQ and 5V = 1000 TQ)? If so, that would be great. Otherwise, how is the TQ value from the Dyno going to be input into EFILive? I don't see a PID solving this problem unless your plan is to rely on something like Power at the Wheels (calculated), Delivered Torque, or Delivered Engine Torque.Originally Posted by Redline Motorsports
I would want to know much more about these parameters before basing my spark table off of them (if something like that is the idea):
- how they are determined/calculated
- how modifications affect them
- whether or not they match up to actual dyno output either in actual value (not in my experience) or in general trends (somewhat)
- whether or not they actually peak where cylinder pressure actually peaks
- how sensitive the parameters are vs how sensitive the true torque curve is (there have been some interesting studies done on MBT, TQ curves, etc over the past couple of years; I spent a week at MIT last summer at an IC Engine course)
- etc.
Howard is right though. A/F is not much of challenge nor are its results nearly as rewarding (with regard to power) as timing.
