If I install more than one, what kind of gains will I get

 

Will my AP be able to save poor Timmy who's trapped in a well?

 

does it automatically begin "logging" info once it is plugged in and the car is running? or do you set it so that it will begin logging info and stop it manually as well? or am i completely misunderstanding how it logs info?

 

That depends on how fat the little bastard is. Best off leaving him down there for a week or two so he becomes easier to lift.

NEXT!

 

The AccessPORT itself doesn't inherently "log" any data.
It has a scrollable display that can show you various OBD functions as well as performance data and information about itself and your tuning files.
Datalogging is a function of the software. You will be able to utilize that one the AccessTUNER - RACE software becomes available.

 

I'm waiting for you to play me a tune Jeff.
Oh yeah oh yeah, Waiting for some AP to come out of somewhere. I am waiting, I am waiting.

 

Can the AP show me CEL information, either current or stored?

 

will the AP be able to clear any cels any time it is connected to the car? or only the cels it is told to clear by a specific map?

 

I guess I'm the only Canadian that ordered it so far? I guess I'll be the guinea pig to see if it works on Canadian cars!

 

You wish! I'm your co-guinea pig.

 

I'm still tuning my instrument! Gimme a minute!

Yes. Of course, you can also turn them off to begin with.
I turn all of the CAT and rear O2 sensor codes to start. I usually do the EVAP and "too rich" codes as well.

Well, you shouldn't get CELs that you don't want (as mentioned above) at all. But, should you get one, its just a few clicks away from history.

 

Care to list the maps you're including with the AP and what they're tuned for? I don't want to waste any time finding the right map for me when I get it. Instructions are for the weak and patient. :P

 

Can the MAF be scaled for a 3" intake tube? At what HP would a person max out the MAF if they were using a 3" intake tube?

 

Good.

 

When I start to ship them, they will come with a list of calibrations.
Basically, there will be four main "families" - N/A I, N/A II, FI S/C and FI T/C.
Within those families will be versions with different MAF calibrations and different setups for OMP, idle, fans, rev limit, etc.
It will just be a matter of lining up your mod list to the appropriate family and trying the different versions until you find one that gives the most stable fuel trims.

It can, but I would think that it would run out pretty early.
Since the OE MAF is 3 3/8" or something like that and is set for about 350 g/sec, you would be off by a pretty long margin - probably in the 300 g/sec range or 39 pounds of air (about 380 crank HP MAX).
The MAF effectively maxes out at 4.7v. Even though it will go to 5v, the last .3v are not very stable/accurate.

 

how will we be able to tell if our fuel trim is stable or not?

hmm...will catless 8's still shoot out deliciously rich flames? or will they be gone?

 

By reading them on the AccessPORT.

Probably. The turbo guys definitely will - especially if their BOVs aren't recirculating.

 

but will i have to judge the fuel trim myself? i do not know much about tuning at all... =(

 

Well hopefully the AP shows the trim as a delta so if you see that the ecu is trying to correct in a big way, you want a different map. That's my guess anyway.

 

MM, my current LTFT is around + 4% - 6%. I have an 04 w/ stock intake, supercat and greddy exhaust. If i were to utilize the AP, should i have any reservations w/ regards to flashing my ecu with one of your pretuned maps (that matched my mod list) with my LTFT levels being this high?

 

so if i wasn't so curious, i could throw out all my aftermarket guages and return my interior to oem?

 

That's great!

I'm going to order one for each rotor.

 

Meh, I wouldn't. The AP is NOT a great gauge solution.
Honestly, at this point it isn't even a great OBD/CAN scanner.
Its kinda slow and it will only display one thing at a time.
However, that isn't what it is for. It is a calibration transporter. It is a very high-tech funnel - not a calibrated burette.
I'd keep the gauges - they will do a much better job of telling you that something is wrong.

+4/-6 is not a big number at all.
In an ideal world, you want zero, but it isn't uncommon to see people running around with trims in the +/- 12 range.
It can go as high as 22%!

What you would do is load a calibrations, drive around for a while and then read your fuel trims - preferably at a couple of different constant engine speeds.
If the trim is more than +/-4 or so, you would select the next calibration on the list in the proper direction - if your trim was positive, you would flash the next level negative on the list. If your trim was negative, you go to the next level positive.
Then, rinse and repeat.
You won't hurt anything by NOT doing this, you just won't see the maximum benefit.

 

I assume the FI maps are similar since LTFT doesn't function in open loop?

 

Will it cure this nasty rash I have going on in my....hold on, I'll just send you a picture
