i'm sorry man, i'm on crack. don't listen to me lol.

 

You had me all confused and ____.

 

sorry man, i had a huge major brainfart this morning and when you sent me that PM i was like.

i should respond to him and correct myself but.......nehhhhh......

 

Actually, you were right. This morning I just discovered the Gauges feature in FIC, which shows boost/vac as load. It also highlights on the fuel map EXACTLY what the car is running at. I found that out this morning after I got to work, after I made a bunch of adjustments to cruising. Right now..

Cruising - 14.5-15
Uphill cruising - 14.5-15 (gonna give it 1% more fuel)
Downhill cruising(using cruise control, not OT) - 12.5-13 (couldn't find it on the map lolz)

Also reaching the 10 gallon used mark. First tank I got 168 miles on 10 gallons, this tank, with basically only idle adjusted and same driving habits (lots o boost) I'm up to 200 miles and I've still got 1 gallon togo. So my gas mileage is slightly improving, hopefully now that I'm not cruising at 12.3 constantly, I'll be able to hit mid 20s.

 

who was right? me?

 

Sort of, lol. I had no clue about the gauge function, and when I opened it, the boost/vacuum gauge was titled as LOAD.

I still think my O2 map is way off. I'm getting a system too lean everytime I start the car. P0171, looked it up and said common causes are dirty O2 or vacuum leak. The O2 isn't dirty and I hold a steady 24hgIN at idle..

So, should my O2 map be 0-1v or 1-5v? I have different tunes and the O2 maps vary... I don't want to switch it out to test it unless I'm certain about it, mainly because I'm so close to finishing my fuel map.

 

Narrowbands are 0-1v (0 lean/1 rich)

WB are 0-5v (0 lean/5 rich)

If i'm not mistaken. Don't shoot me if i'm wrong, lol.

I have all my tuning notes at home ^^

 

If that's true, then that's my problem. My O2 map is setup for 0-1v, which would mean my ECU is constantly seeing lean.

 

On a side note, supposedly narrowbands aren't as accurate at higher egt temps.

Where as the WB shines ^^

 

Alright, the majority of the tunes I have pretty much have 1.7v for boost, 2.1-2.6 for just entering boost and 3.2 for vacuum, so I'm going to attempt to make a new fuel map for this new O2 map. I still have my old tune, which I know the car runs fine on.

 

Nothing like safe trial and error ^^

lmao

I don't even think that makes sense, hahahhahahaa.

Although, I always try and make minute changes just to be on the safe side.

 

That's what I've been doing, but since I have to make such a major change to the O2 map, I don't know where to start with the fuel map. I might just say F it and keep running the map I was running.

 

What ems are you using again? sorry I don't remember, lol.

 

F/IC

 

I think, I have a few f/ic maps at home. Don't remember from where, lol.

I'll check it out home. Maybe I can help you figure it out ^^

 

I have about 10 tunes, 2 of them are utter garbage, 1 of them runs perfectly (my personal one), and I don't remember what the other ones were set to for injectors.

 

Well at least you got it working, lol.

 

Yeah, it fired up and ran slightly rich all around when I put in my own tune. Everything else...it runs like ___ .

I'm just going to stick with my current tune.

Chris, once you get tuned, send me yours, I want to compare. Also, I sent you an updated version of my tune.

 

All better now :D. Back on the normal tune, fuel map is almost finished, just got a few rich spots to take care of.

 

God, I'm never gonna turbo. All this crapola is like learning a whole new language. No bueno,
