Okay. Educate me. We are all saying that 13.1-ish is "safe".... why? Its safe to run stoich at lower RPM, why is is not safe to do so above some magic threshold? We've probably all done it inadvertantly anyway. Is it a long-term concern? Obviously, the engine won't blow doing it occasionally. How is this more stressful than running boost?

I need the education

Until my CANScan can correctly read the O2 sensor, I'm not really sure where to tune for. Maybe that is another reason why some keep getting inconsistency in their logs. So, in the meantime, I'm shooting for 13.1. When the new chip and software is released, which is real soon, I will tune for more power.

It still looks to me that you are up against the knock sensor - I also have the N flash but have the ecu sending out 30 degrees of advance from 7000 rpms to redline and it looks like yours is bouncing around under 30 degrees.

Then again i could be just completely wrong... the more i think I understand things the more complicated they are :o

I noticed that also... My timing map is all zeroed out completely also.

Well now MY CANScan quit working! I have tried everything to get it communicating again. The trials and tribulations of tuning with limited resources...

Timing adjustments made on the CZ unit will not show up on the CanScan...it will only tell you what the PCM is doing. You have to add the CZ value to the stock values to find out true timing advance. The PCM seems to pull timing based on Airflow......thats why the advance curve is not 30deg from about 7K up like on stock. Knock will also pull timing.....have yet to see that though :D

OK, I think I understand that. Now, looking at my latest curve attached, and seeing that the timing is below 30 degrees, should I be concerned? Do I need to add some advance to the timing map? It is currently all zeros. You can see in the chart below where I am based on RPM:

6010 25
6068 25.5
6155 26
6212 26.5
6265 26.5

Nemesis,
How come your stock AFR was in the 12's at 4k RPM? Shouldn't we be in closed-loop there and running near stoich?

Nemesis,

I have done this experiment before when my canscan still working. (I am still waiting for the new canscan for tunning)

I have the ignition graph like urs,
I did zero out the A/F map for 7.4k -> 8k rpm and I found out the the ignition adv go back to 30 degree

Maybe you wanna to try to rich up the A/F for 7.4k->8k rpm, Just a suggestion.

Yes, I know that looks weird. I have had two previous logs show that I went open loop earlier than normal - I don't know the reason why... Here is that stock graph by itself. Looks like it changed around 3100 RPM

Timing has be puzzled for now, I'm still getting comfortable with just changing the fuel map. What is the best timing we should be running for 92 octane pump gas, with let's say a 13.4 AFR? RG posted this note in another thread:

Nemesis,

Ok I plan to do it in lazy way. I will goto dyno tune it next monday. I will post the data on Tues/Wed..

Hope I can find out which A/F mixture produce the most hp. and I will pull the ignition adv graph only after I got my canscan back. so stay tune.

I have a high flow cat, and RB intake, stock muffler and stock flywheel.

Can you post some photos of your install? :D I would really like to add this to my car one day.

Thanks

On my most powerful map I have an additional 8 degrees above the stock 30 going in with a 13.5 a/f ratio... while I never tried to take advance out like RG mentioned, I've only ever gained power by adding more advance

i'm beginning to think your +.6 a/f ratio assumption doesn't work since the car is still pulling timing out... go richer in that 7-8k range, maybe adjusting the map 10 at a time until the timing returns to 30
