My ME is back and running . Can you do a CSV log (don't save into excel) and that will go straight into the program.

Subbed, Nice build.

If temp throws off your g/sec Would that indicate you probably adjusted MAF when you should have adjusted Injector scale?

if your maf scale is right and your getting negative fuel trims your injector bank 1 scale might need tweaked. but the cold weather could be messing with it too.

it could also be your gauge, I have seen this same issue, I thought I was around 10psi, Per my gauge, sense I started getting mine back on the road, started fiddling with the ebc and it claims I am only at 8psi.
LOL it's been 80-90 degrees here lately.

It's just a negative fuel trim at idle, FT's are good in all my steady state logs.

Maybe I should see if I can borrow a mechanical boost gauge from a friend to test it against.

The first one I posted is a .csv file.

Here's the second one, Attached.

I have no idea how this software works... Would the wheel size being wrong effect the calculated numbers?

Yes
any of those setting will affect the result as will the smoothing setting . Try to keep them the same for each one i do

I am pretty sure he is running a fairly different tire size.

used 225/45/18 which is very close to 255/40/18 - better result.
Note the dyno correction factor is 1.11 which is pretty generous . But I've used that elsewhere so will keep it the same cuz our 8s need all the help they can get

Thanks Brett, Once I get the EBC setup and my tune dialed in some more I will put it on a dyno, we'll see what she does at 10psi.

OK - I have some info (discovered by accident) on this that may be of interest .

A friend of mine found that if the load columns are set up in a certain way EG 10,25,31,38 etc etc NO LTFT was built for open loop.

If they are set up like this , 0,10,20,30,40 etc etc . LTFTs will be built for open loop.

This info is second hand and I have not tried it myself but thought it worth a mention.

That is interesting. Though on my 8, the Columns are 10-20-30 and so on with no open loop fuel trims.

Haven't posted here in a while, but I haven't really done much with the car.

Still running 6psi, never setup my EBC, I'll get around to it one day lol

I've been really busy with work and haven't made many changes to the tune either, Just talked to Kane the other day and I'm going to start working with him again.

I installed an Autoexe Steering Wheel a few months ago, just got the replacement inserts for the Recaros last week, replaced the midpipe gaskets(had a small exhaust leak) and finally put my Subs and Amp back in and mounted the battery properly in the trunk.

I went out to Episode M in Orlando over the Weekend and I won a Track Weekend at Roebling Road Raceway in Georgia Nov 9-10, it's a 2 day HPDE Event. We'll see how the car holds up, but I'm pretty excited about it.

Just got back from a trip to NY for work on Wednesday, didn't have the time to do a few things to the car to have it ready for Roebling Road this weekend so I didn't make the trip.
