  1. Hi Dave, Firmware is Version 4.9.9.1784 Load = MAP I guess Load= BAP would work better? Open Loop AFR Table Overlay = OFF This is a Vipec V88 ecu bought 4years ago. Tried to use the iVTS software but it wouldn't work, so i went back to the standard VTS software. I was doing road tuning yesterday and logging the AFR and tried to get the close loop to work as efficiently as possible. I've done Dyno tune on ITB cars but road conditions always varies and a perfectly tuned ITB car on a dyno will always need to be touched up on the road afterwards. Nowadays, i prefer to use the dyno to find MBT and tune the fuel map on the road instead. Rgds keith Dave, Both Fuel Map and target AFR table are both on TPS Y axis. This is what i've set for Closed Loop Gain Error of 0=0 0.5=8 1=10 1.5=20 2=20 2.5=20 Closed loop Control rate: 1000rpm = 4 2000rpm= 10 3k=10 4k=10 5k=10 8k=10 Thanks Keith
  2. HI guys, This is with regards to tuning a ITB car with Alpha N main fuel map. Hope to learn from the more experienced tuners here. I've previously mapped the car without any closed loop control on Alpha N and it drives well. However, Alpha N is basically using the TPS as an estimate of the load that the engine see. The load changes depending on road condition and which gear the car is running. There will be situations where for example 3000rpm at 15% TPS load, gear 3. The load site is tuned to stoich 14.7AFR. In another scenario when the engine is operating at the same 3000rpm, 15% TPS load but on gear 6 and there is a slight uphill slope, the actual load increases and the fueling will end up lean. So i've tuned the car for all load sites for the worse possible load. More fuel is always better than too little fuel! However, when the engine is at a light gear, that same site will end up running too rich due to the lesser load. I've tried using 4D fueling overlay with MAP as the load site and tried to apply corrections to this map. However, there will be overlapping situations where the same MAP cell coincides with other load demands. End up messing up the fueling and making things worse. Thus my decision to hook up the AEM Uego wideband sensor to make fuel trims automatically. However, i've faced a few issues while tuning today. Tried logging a run while driving on the road. At the fuel mixture table, refreshed the logged fuel cells and applied the changes necessary. However, the Mixture table uses MAP as the load site. My main fuel table is TPS load site. So how does the table decide where the fuel trims are applied on my main fuel table? 2nd issue. After applying those trims, i'll end up with a map with many spikes. I understand why such spikes appear. It is sudden lean situations due to load on that particular TPS site which the close loop strategy might not have taken into account the MAP values. I would imagine that fuel trim should be applied to the 4D overlay map instead. Would that work better? 3rd issue: Closed loop %TP Delta lockout and map Delta Lockout. These two constraints are too restrictive for Alpha N close loop control. Since my load sites are based off the TPS numbers, a delta lockout of maximum 20% means Closeloop will be disabled when there is a sudden opening of more than 20% throttle. When the main fueling map is TPS based, 20% throttle input isnt too much during acceleration. Map Delta Lockout: The maximum i could put in is 20kpa. With ITBs airflow is much more sudden and quicker than single throttles. A 20% throttle input would have swing the MAP way over 20kpa. I hope this can be increased so the close loop strategy isnt too limited for alpha n? 4th issue: Oscillating AFR. I've played around the Gain and AFR control for idling so the corrected AFR hovers near my target without going left and right too much. However, while driving, there are sudden lean situations and the car feels flat and the close loop strategy doesnt react quickly enough to richen the mix. Makes it very flat whenever more throttle is applied. 5th issue: The sudden lean situation might be opposite of whats happening. IE maybe my acceleration fueling is adding more fuel which the close loop strategy is trying to lean off, since those sites my target AFR is 14.7. And acclereation fueling might end up going to 13:1 so the close loop might see this sudden rich state and trim off aggressively and overshoots into lean before it decides to richen up again. These are all happening during transcient situations. I was hoping that the Vipec Closed loop strategy would be able to manage all these transcient situations. Perhaps VE based tuning might do a better job at this since they can predict the fueling requirements? I really need a good ECU that can manage transcient throttle fueling control well for ITB cars. I hope the vipec can be tuned to reach this goal. Thanks for taking the time to read all these. Appreciate it if someone could shed some light into this? Cheers! keith
  3. Hi guys, Its my first time using the G3 today. Its a nice ecu but i have to familiarize myself with all the functions to make full use of it. First of all, i want to wire my Innovate LM2 analogue 1 into the G3. When i pull down the analog input 0-5volt, i could use it for wideband #1. May i know which ecu pin is this? Where should i wire the grounding? Sensor ground or the main ground? Thanks guys!
