Major New Product Announcements: Pre-release info

Yes - I'll have an upgrade path for those who have supported sCANalyser to date.
Cheers,
Hymee.
#27
Current versions only report on one pulse width, but essentially sCANalyser can monitor anything that is broadcast on the CAN bus. It might take some more work to get that far - it is just a matter of finding out the "PIDS". Sounds easy - hey? LOL!
Cheers,
Hymee.

I'm not going to give away all the secrets, but lets just say that that computer is more than capable of handling what is required, without resorting to trickery.
Unless I read your question wrongly of course - The other answer is that the driver manages the boost. When you open the throttle enough to lose manifold vacuum, you get boost. When you close the throttle, the boost is bypassed. This is of course in relation to my S/C with the bypass valve.
Or are you talking about electronic control of the blow-off valve or wastegate in a turbo application?
Cheers,
Hymee.
PS - If I go quiet from time to time, it'll be 'cause I'm working on the product. I'm sure there are one or two capable minds here who should be able to chime in with some answers. I reckon I'd probably prefer to get the runs on the board first. But I'll try to provide answers where I can.

Hymee.

My bad Hymee - I should have been more specific - with MAF; you get total volume of airflow which is cool - but without pressure information. You could calc MAF flow and intake temperature - then deduce the PPO2 I guess...but was curious if a MAP was part of the package.
I was just curious how you were going to handle it.
But I understand secrets too -

"Tell them nothing, Hymee!!"
I'll resist that for the purpose of community edumaction. If the computer know precisely what mass of air is entering the engine, then it can calculate the amount of fuel required. The RX-8 doesn't need to calculate mass air flow. It has a very sensitive device on board that tells it - the MAF and it has a integrated air temp sensor. As long as it is calibrated correctly. If the RX-8 doesn't have a MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor, then the factory computer can't know anything about one.
Lesson over :D

how does this work in practice? should the maf then be located after the compressor to correctly measure the air temp? or is the mass flow drawn through at atmospheric the same as the mas flow of the compressed air? and if the latter is true then how is the increase in temperature post compressor accounted for?

Question that I must ask.
Is this Dummy proof? Just curious if I should keep track of this or let the professionals as it where play with this.

Ok I know i am relatively new to the FI scene and my question may be stupid. But, i would appreciate an answer so maybe I can learn some more.
Once this tuning of our pcm is done--what is keeping the pcm from adjusting via short term fuel trims and long term fuel trims? Does this tuning change the pcm's desire to automatically tune via st and ltft to a 14.1 a/f? if so --without revealing secrets---can you tell me How?

I am speculating here...
Good question OSCD - but in closed loop - I dunno how you would change it since it uses the narrow band O2...I think.
But like EMU - with the flash you should be able to force it into open loop at will.
If it is like cobb - in the logging interface; you can adjust (say for example idle map) and watch the real time feeds to be sure your STFT is zero...there is a HOW TO article on Cobb's page somewhere that describes how you would do it with their software.

I would expect the PCM has a defined Lamba reading at each load/rpm point...and in closed loop will try and adjust to that...hence the LT and ST fuel trims.
In open loop...there is no adjustment...so the trims are not changed. You get what your tables say for that Mass air flow
What I'm not sure about...is whether or not the trims are carried forward into the open loop areas or not ....
