Calc.VET: correcting MAF and calculating VE (in single log)

[rpmauto]

Here is my calc_text file, I think now that some of the stuff I was worried about loosing was added to my sae generic. Let me know if this isnt what you need. I will also attach a copy of my current tune. It is stock 02 for the most part. I have changed obviously the dtc enableres, copied over my old timinig tables and did some of the idle tutorial changes.

I threw in my 98 tune from last year if you wanted to look at my ve that I had

Len it looks like you calc_pids.txt file is empty...

Thats O.K., but I am a little curious what you might have added to the sae.generic file. You see ironically that is the one that can change with a software upgrade.

So no danger of an overwrite..I would use the following attached calc_pids.txt.

When you call it up on your computer..under Tab File..Save As..My Documents..EFILive..User Configuration..calc_pids.txt. It will ask if you want to overwrite..Say yes..

I just ran Joecar's new calc_pids.txt and it works perfectly. Also you can easily change the displacement in the Log file and when you change the displacement the VE changes..I.E. it works!

So, we just need to add a Pid for your AFR for a B3601 of 14.629.

Also at some point we will need to talk you through the latest software/firmware updates or some of these Pids will not work the way you want them.

For grins I manually smoothed your 98 VE Table. Notice I left the 'camel back' dip at around 2000-2400 Rpm's. I have that too. Mainly altered in the lower Kpa's..

Thanks Shawn,
It looked to me like it was empty too. I will put the calc pids file in now.

The last update I did was last July or August

I see now in the scan tool where you can change displacement for each car. I remember looking at that when I first got the software, then never thought of it again. That is so neat, when you change that and are logging for my car with a 6.6 it will have the right equation for the calc pids. SWEET

The ve table that is peaky is the one titled New cam throttle cracker zero. I was messing around with some things after putting in a diff cam last fall to get rid of bucking. Totally zeroing the cracker table got rid of almost all of the buck this cam has. Take a look at that one and you will see what I am talking about

Just copied the calc pids and opened up the scantool to see what was there. Got a error message that the CALC.LTFTBEN already exists. (sae generic) If I go to close the error message it closes the scantool. Should I go into the sae generic and delete that?

[WeathermanShawn]

I would take it out of the sae.generic file.

Yea that last VE Table was a little peaky. I massaged it a bit, but you might just have to re-do it at some point. Normally at say 80-100 Kpa it should almost look like a Dyno curve.
I.E. peaks at max TQ (~4800) and slowly fall to redline.

I tried not to mess around with the Idle Cells..take a look at it. On a MAF-enabled car most of your Airflow will be MAF dominated..you can always do a SDCL Tune on an existing VE Table to clean it up. Thats my best interpretation.

[joecar]

Delete CALC.LTFTBEN from sae_generic.txt.

[joecar]

To enter the displacement, be sure to use Edit->Log File Information...

it won't work if you try to do it thru Customer Details.

[rpmauto]

I just deleted it from the generic text and it still wont let me into the tune tool or the scantool. I shut the computer down and restarted just to see. I will attach a copy of my generic text and the calc pids I copied this morning. Maybe you will see something I missed

[rpmauto]

Error code: ERR_DUPLICATE/109

Duplicate *PRN name: CALC.LTFTBEN.

This is the error that I get on opening either the scantool or the tune tool.

[rpmauto]

I will update it and see what happens. I assume the calc pids then will remain the same?? If not I can just copy them again. It is nice having everything here in this thread
