Not sure about your question Dave. There is alot of overlap between the maps. Its kinda like the points on the emanage software where you have 10% load at 9000rpm, it doesn't make sense (or matter) what value you put there b/c you'll never be there in real life.

 

what does the ignition timing look like?

 

Is that the t_rpm map?

 

Can someone please address my question though.. Or maybe your not sure like I am.. Why would there be a hg value on the Load map for a wide open throttle situation when that is handled on the RPMwot map?

Any ideas?[/QUOTE]


I believe its for the matrix mode, or for overrun. when in matrix mode it has to have a value there or it jumps to the next available value. Cause matrix mode doesn't use rpmwot map.

 

Brillo - you were going to try for increased fuel mileage , did you ever get anywhere with that ?

 

I haven't finished testing b/c I was called out of town and I need to fine tune a few things. Its been so hot here and with the recall I've taken the computer off of the car for the moment. I plan on getting back into tuning more this month.

 

So, what happened with this brillo, do you have a dyno or something? how much hp did you get with Interceptor-X? I see 220 rwhp on your vbgarage, if that's from the I-X it's very good if your car was in the 175-190 rwhp range most ownser see here!!!

 

220whp was a flywheel estimate based upon my real dyno. I have been rather busy as of late and haven't been able to focus on the tuning as I only have one car (my 8). I think some better mileage is possible while cruising, but its tough to get a decent idle without it running super rich.

I'm likley going to get a beater soon and start focusing on turbo charging the car, so If anyone is interested in my NA interceptor, PM me or see my thead in the FS section

 

Sorry for Necro but how did the mod go? I'm assuming that the car should have modded Cat and muffler by now.
Any better gas mileage? Any decent power increase (torque) from 3,000 to 4,500 RPM range?

Thanks

 

The Interceptor has long since been sold. The car was running a stock flash as far as I know although he may be using an RB flash. He'll chime in on the details. For n/a use the gains from an Interceptor just couldn't justify the money it costs. Forced induction is a different story altogether. For na performance the best option out there is the RB flash but don't expert huge gains.

 

Can it be used to get better gas mileage by totally disregarding the emission stuff and optimizing for 93 octane?
How much of a better mileage can I expect with Interceptor-X and straight pipe exhaust? Can I lean the AFR more than normal if the intake air and coolant temps are down?

 

If you wanted to optomize for mileage reasons, you'd want to use 87 octane. Isn't the whole point to keep costs down? The engine would run fine on 87. You need to think about it a different way though. You definitely can do this. However, how much money are you saving per tank? How many tanks would it take to equal the cost of the Int-X? Keep in mind this is the break even point. Until then, you are negative financially on your investment and would have come out ahead by just using more expensive gas.

 

You will use more fuel than you could possibly save in tuning the mid and upper ranges to 15:1 or so just by idling at a stop light.
The Int-X will not give you a stable idle at mixtures leaner than 13:1.
