Does any 1 want to share there Inj map so that I can have a quick gander at what they used as a target AFR's across the board?

Would I be correct in saying that every car would need a slightly different airflow curve?But for the most part the target afr or inj map would stay pretty much the same. For example my car is a neo RB3025 with a GT3576 and z32 AFM. it would have a different airflow requirements to a RB25 with a GT3576 and z32 AFM due to the extra capacity. But the fuel map would be quite similar.

I obviously did it the other way by using the standard airflow curve and tuning the inj map to compensate. So once I get the idea through my head of how it works, I might start slightly tweaking it via the airflow curve.

regards

Chris

Chris im pretty sure ive posted up a few in tuning threads before, the target afr map or target injection ms table is tweaked between different engines and turbos and obviuosly fuels, but yes in broader terms it is very similar.

If I send you my tune can you have a look at it and if possible make any suitable adjustments? I am happy to $ for your work if you believe you can make a difference. It seems sloppy in the lower range. If you are able to, PM me.

Sorry ive turned off pm's as i rarely get screen time nowadays. feel free to email it to me [email protected] with mods and car type. I wil look at it for you for free, as for changing it i will see how it looks first, and maybe make sugestions, do you have WB logging?

An easy way to see if your tune is pretty poor is the color grading in the map, if it doesnt smothly blend colours it needs work.

here are two examples the top one is a real map, see the large steps and troughs.... this is all bad for driveability etc. Compare the second map to the original to get an idea of what im getting at. (please understand the touched up one is dramtised a bit to make it more obvious). :P

The top map was tweaked to remove the steps and troughs only and this was the reply from that UK customer "Car Feels really good mate, never felt the car as powerful as that before and was only getting between 22-30 knock"

Smoothness is paramount for driveability

EDIT: found the thread, save these files as .DAT and you can compare the before and after to get the jist of my ramblings. (ignore the fuel map though as it was to dangerous to rewrite a UK based car with no WB, its cleaned up not rewritten to target afrs from memory)

I downloaded the tune and had a quick squiz at it and it does look very uniform and tidy. I can see alot of work went into the AF table too. You have email!

Curious why everyone likes a totally ruler flat A/F...

I tend to richen up my tunes at maximum break torque when the cylinder temps are at their greatest

Also I don't see many people dial in a few more degrees once the torque decays pinch.gif

Put simply you never give gold away for free.... and as such a mail order free touch up is no where near an in house dyno derived tune... as one needs to compensate for a myriad of things.

thats why i said (please understand the touched up one is dramatised a bit to make it more obvious) and (ignore the fuel map though as it was to dangerous to rewrite a UK based car with no WB, its cleaned up not rewritten to target afrs from memory)

but your post above is correct, most of our tunes dont have flat af curves and definately have a non linear timing line. Most go up, some go up down up... all the benefits of live tuning.

It seems these days the general consensus is ruler flat af on boost is a good tune.

I've seen many times people give only credit to af ratios that are ruler flat.

I must admit before I knew anything about tuning I thought the same.

We need a tuning sub forum!

Hmmmm wait till you start tuning engines that can continuously move inlet cams or even both inlet and exhaust. Then add variable runner length and direct injection into the equation. You'll start to realize that you know very little about tuning.

I thought I knew tuning quiet well until I talked to a former gm calibration/ experimental combustion engineer.

I would love to talk to the guy who tuned the Saab variable compression turbo engine.

Would hate to think what is involved there

Hey Trent, cheers for pointing me in the direction of that tune. It was very handy to compare how others have set it out.

I copied the fuel map to experiement with but I think I may have found another issue that I was over looking. When it's making full boost it doesn't seem to be richening up as much as it should be so I think the craptacular walbro fuel pump is running out of flow. But I'll confirm that soon but I hope not cos I really really don't wanna have to strip my stereo out to get access to it.

easiest way to check that is a fuel pressure gauge, any decent dyno will have a mechanical one handy.

if not, you can remove the fuel rail return at the tank return and run it into a bucket. If you get no fuel at max torque/boost, the pump is not up to scratch

Yeah true, thats exactly how I was gonna test it. like you said with a bucket and apply 20psi to the pressure reg with my air compressor. if nothing or only a little comes out I know theres some thing wrong.

That won't work bud.

Injectors need to be running etc

I do realize that there would a portion of fuel that would no be getting consumed by the motor. But what it would tell me is if the fuel pump is almost stalling at those pressures at the very least. unfortunatly I don't have a dyno in my shed, but good point on the remote fuel pressure gauge. That is something that I do have. sounds like a job for when I return from work in India with my nice new 260 poncams.

So I did a simple test by just setting the bottom 6x6 of the map to 9:1 from around 11.5 and it dropped the AFR's from 12.4 to about 11. So the fuel pump might just be ok. but will do a proper test later on.

I think I just needed to be more agressive with airflow curve above 3.5v

I got my wideband today. Just fiddling with it, my idle was around 11.3. I went to lean it out a little and in the FC Edit, I had to set my cell for that idle cell close to 17, almost 18 just to get the engine close to stoich... Why are they so far out?

What is a good idle afr? Does anyone have a target AFR for the whole board? I am thinking of retuning my whole injector map by resetting my tune, adjusting injector settings for my nismos, setting the afm to z32 and then copying my whole ignition map across and dropping ignition by a couple degrees then richening up the ignition table and start adjusting. Good or bad start?

its probly the same reason my target afr's were odd. set the cells on your injection map where the car idle's to 14.7. Then open the monitor screen and check the Airflow meter voltage at idle. Now once you know what the AFM voltage is go to tab 3 where you will see the airflow curve's. IF z32 is third AFM selection down then look down at curve 3 which is below it. now scroll across to the corresponding voltage that matchs to what your car does at idle. NOTE* My car idles with a AFM voltage between 1.18 and 1.2volts. now increase the value by a few points and update your pfc while logging with your wide band and keep doing this untill your target AFR is the same or very close to your actuale AFR.

IS that clear as mud?

    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
