This is how you tune-
- You get a base setup for fuel, boost, timing, get the injectors scaled properly.
- You log for information, watching afr mostly.
- You adjust your map to get the target afr. (repeat steps 2-3 until the desired afr is set)
- You log for information.
- You adjust boost to a safe level. (repeat steps 4-5, and check to see if afr’s changed, might need to adjust those if you moved into a different load table)
- You log for information.
- You adjust timing, add a little bit slowly. (repeat steps 6-7 until it starts knocking and pull some timing back out)
- You log in various temperature conditions and load conditions to see if there are holes or gaps in the tune which need small corrections.
Done.
You are pathetic, I am far more intelligent than all of you. Don’t call me a kid you fucking inbred b6 v8 fucks. It might be easy to throw timing at an NA v8 motor, but its sure a different ball game when it comes to turbocharged cars. I know about tuning and how engines respond, I know how to use the information. If you don’t log and just go beat the piss out of a car, you are a moron. Your ecu is saving your ass, you should try tuning a car that doesn’t have as smart of an ecu, then you would realize the importance of logging and proper tuning. You don’t just change maps in the ECU and see what the car does at the track, you need to see how the car is responding, and you do that with data logging.
You think audi just throws some timing at a car and sees how it responds? NO, they spend hours and hours and hours and months upon months tuning these cars. If you had half a brain you would know that data logging is the best thing to come to the automotive industry since turbocharging.
Logging is an essential part of tuning, if you don’t think so, you are an idiot. /Discussion.
