Improving shifts via the ECM

[restless@westnet.com.au]

Have you played with the "Minimum Final Timing" in the ecm tune to go with your TCM adjustments yet?

no i haven't played with the ecm tune EXCEPT for the torque model but i THINK its running less final timing as its camed + F.I 10 PSI
ill have to check it against a stock tune
witch i don't have

WHen you get to a point with the 6l80s, it will go backwards in feel...lol.

should i up the SHIFT presures and TCC presures now as they are all still stock ? if so by how much %
with lots of torque 1024 NM showing on the TRQENG PID

[Tre-Cool]

1024nm in trqeng pid is plenty enough. mine show'd just over 1050 when i ran 10.6 the other night.

that is a great ET ,is that a record for A6 on street tyres ?

[Protec]

With VVT, do we just do the increase on all 4 tables with regard to RPM_Airflow?

Thanks,

I do, seems to work good.

As I have been digging trying to find a definite answer on reducing the amount of torque reduction on the shifts ( I see as much as 40+ degrees on the shifts on the E67/T43 CTS-V), it seems that no one really knows how to adjust it. It was asked on a couple of occasions which of the torque tables apply for a non adjustable cam in the LSA, with no clear response. Just 'the tables mentioned in this thread'. Well no specific tables have been called out. I am assuming that it is ALL of the tables listed under Normal fuel Exhaust CAM 0 Degrees, but haven't seen actual clarification. Also B5156 lists maximum spark retard for knock, torque reduction etc... which CLEARLY isn't an accurate description because my table is set to a maximum of -20 and I am seeing over 40 taken out. Would it be that difficult to list the tables and options SPECIFICALLY related to these changes by their table numbers?

easiest way it to adjust the ecu tune and the minimum timing table in the spark area.

This really doesn't help. Unless I am missing something...if I set those tables to numbers that would be more realistic to handle spark retard on shifts, it would clamp the lower limit to numbers that would prevent an active knock sensor from being useful.
