Wow. Good catch. The brilliant folks at DimDim apparently forgot that Arizona doesn't have Daylight Savings Time.

I'll go fix that and you will receive an "updated" invite.

Now it says "11:00 WET". What the heck is that? UTC? That would be correct if it is...

Isn't "DimDim" another way of saying "StupidStupid"?

Yeah, well, "DumbDumb" monikers notwithstanding, the service itself is pretty cool.

It set the meeting to GMT, so you do the math.

Confirmed, Jeff... But I'll likely be missing the first session. Will try to join in but have every intention to be boozing it up tomorrow night instead.

Everyone should take a look at the DimDim site and make sure that you have everything you need to participate installed on your computer.
The requirements aren't too heavy, but you might need a newer version of Flash or something like that and it's better to find out now instead of at kick-off.

ANYONE...ANYONE who is even remotely contemplating or just browsing and sees this thread i would highly recommend you sign up for the next go around even after the first session i have learned and been able to identify many aspects of the race tuner software i previously had no knowledge of. I say before thinking about your next mod unless its the cobb ap join this seminar learn the theory of properly maximizing your stock setup and the theory behind maximizing output for your later mods not to mention possibly increasing engine longevity.

I got a question ... MM mentioned that changing tires or rear diff with throw off the selection of the different AF tables. Where is the speed sensor located.? Also, how would larger or smaller sized wheels and tires make this happen. It is true that the car speed reported will not be accurate with what is really happening in the real world, but wouldn't all the ratios still stay the same as the entire car will simply "think" it is going faster or slower if your tire size is wrong.... I don't see how the selection of the gear by gear fuel tables would be affected by mismatched rim+ tire size ... please explain?
Thanks

The ECU uses the speed sensors and engine rpm to figure out which gear the car is in...changing the parameters too much will change the table the ECU uses to pick from

Can't see it as a big problem though.....

I should have my AP by mid July so I can get my BP engine in the car. Will you be having another round in July? Sucks that I missed this round, but I had to buy new motor mounts and a clutch.

Holy crap does this seminar rock! Pages and pages of notes. Just starting to scratch the surface of tuning, and it's complex and very powerful. Great that we have an ECU that's powerful enough to do it, great that Cobb broke it, great that MM is willing to teach us how to use it!

I'm only halfway through and I think this seminar is absolutely worth it. You guys thinking about tuning your stuff, get together and put up the money to convince MM to do another, you won't regret it.

Now I just need to figure out why I don't have the right size reducer for the MM turbo...

^^^I'm stoked too
Going to be doing some data logging this morning with the AP ....
However I'm curious that if I would be better served to use my laptop and the ATR software.

Opinions?

Just did some datalogging myself. I just used the AP. Fun to watch the LTFT and STFT and know what they mean! Easy to use STFT to see when it goes into open loop. Funny how those logs we were looking at last night you could tell submitters hadn't followed directions (RPM too low), but still got open loop. Definitely takes a couple of seconds above 4200 (about 4500 indicated) and steady load to kick out of closed loop.

Without an external WBO2, I don't see much benefit to the laptop. Records the same data.

If somebody else was driving, it can be useful to use ATR and watch the tables to see exactly where it is on the maps under different conditions. But if you are driving better to keep your eyes on the idiots surrounding you.
