I just wanted to chime in here Ashley after working with PCLink for a few weeks now. Overall its a pretty good UI and functionality is great, keep up the good work. Mixed below are specific items I'd be keen to see, as well as some scenarios I'd like to better manage. Some of these are mentioned above by others, again great work, I'd be happy with the system even without these 1. Autotune. Yep I know its coming, just wanted to say good work on adding it! At the moment I'm using the aux fuel table to plug in my desired AFRs then having to switch back and forth between that and my fuel map after logging. Which brings me to... 2. Averaged AFR add in. Preferably with a cell hit count (either as another addon, a colour depth, or just change the 'trail' addon so that instead of * it shows "(28)" ie number of hits on that cell) 3. Ability to pull the 2nd and third tiers into their own windows (so you can alt-tab between them). On my small tuning PC (13" monitor) its a bit of a squash. Otherwise when I enter 6pt font it should be used for all labels/data. 4. 3d graph navigation. Maybe drop the left right scrollers and just make it a click drag to rotate in any direction, then maybe a ctrl-click drag to zoom. Also could you add real values to the 3d graph axis, i.e. 0rpm-8000rpm rather than 1-17 (not a big deal this one). 5. Playback. Firstly it could probably live up in the top nav bar rather than its own window (which kinda gets in the way on occasion). If you could add a timeline scroller to quickly scroll through my logs rather than play through the whole lot that would be great (in essence it would look a lot like an mp3 ui, a quick way to load/skip/play/step/record. If you can also add a volume to add kw that would be great too). Or at the very least an end timestamp. Also, can the zone maps and runtime graph be made to playback with the log (the way the gauges do?). Also a minor BUG report: When you're stepping through a log then click the pause, it doesn't resume playing. (you need to go to a new time and press play). Which brings me to something I don't think ANYONE offers, 6. Roadtuning functions. Not sure how to ask this, but in effect my fuel tables are rock solid now, but what I'd like is some kind of rudimentary feature to work out when my timing advance is past the point of adding power (rather than tuning to knock and backing off). If you could control load conditions (i.e. the same stretch of road), and then do one run, graph the time between cells, then make changes and do another run and compare the two, I'd imagine it would be feasible to see if an advance setting got you quicker to the next cell. See where I'm headed here? Is this a bit unrealistic or can you apply some of that kiwi ingenuity in this area? Maybe even a g-sensor addition? Again though, keep up the great work. Ben.

I posted this over on my thread, but whats the best way to tune warm up enrichment? Is it still a matter of shooting for AFRs?? My columns are basically: 70c=0, 60c=.5, 50c=1, 40c=1.5, 30c=2.5, 20c=8.5, 10c=15

Hey All, Thought I'd start a post here on my tuning progress, I'm at the point where I've tuned my fuel/timing maps as far as I can without a dyno, so thats next. Its the STi Ej20 so has a relatively strong bottom end. Mods: Intake: Hyperflow FMIC with CAI and Catch can, AVO silicone inlet Turbo: Gtpumps GTPS03 (TD06Sl2 core with 20G and 8cm housing) Exhaust: AVO dump pipe in Fujitsubo catback, Gtspec headers/uppipe heat coated and wrapped Fuel system: 800cc injectors, Fuel Reg, split fuel rails ECU: Link G3, Techedge WB02 sensor, Knocklink, and AVCR I'm running about 11.2AFRs at redline and 14.7 in vacuum/0psi, and about 23 degs timing advance at redline Shooting for 1.3kg/cm (18.5psi) and 1.45 (20.5psi) for special occasions Using Shell 100RON fuel. Just setting up a fast street car, maybe a few 1/4 runs and a track day here or there. So thats about it, can anyone chime in with some advice on the following? 1. Whats the best way to tune warm up enrichment? Should I still be shooting for AFRs in the 14.7s? If so I've had to pull a heap of fuel from the stock maps as the car just bogged like crazy when it was cold (even though I'm babying it). 2. Does anyone have any advice on tuning timing on the road? I'm not seeing any knock, but I don't really want to tune with the knocklink, rather maybe looking at MAF output or something? 3. Closed loop fuel, I've got it set to 5% and gain control on 3, at idle it seems to swing between 4 and -4 but a higher gain just makes it swing more dramatically. Is that normal? 3. Any general road tuning tips?? I've just been logging a heap of data, no load slow revs up the tacho, brake-loading to keep the cells occupied for a second, and cruising. Thanks for any help!
