Not power related, but last night, I took control of my home computers (desktop and laptop) from my in car computer, via wifi hotspot on my fone. And vice versa. Was testing to see if I had to use my laptop plugged straight into the ECU (or if I could just use my PIPO) to remote tune. Haven't road tested, but looks promising.

So I've read what I could find, watched all the HPA webinars, done the Link tutorial and the practical tuning courses. I'm still a bit confused on which order I should be tackling the Charge temp cooling table, the fuel charge cooling value and the VE map. They all play a part in the equation, and it seems to me that I could be going around in circles from one to the other making adjustments. They are all dealt with separately in the HPA workthroughs. Assume I am starting from scratch, is it correct to get engine up to temp, with charge temp (and air temp) all zeros? Then go through the process of finding the fuel charge cooling value (making target fuel table lambda 1.0, adjusting VE to make measured = lambda 1.0, make target 0.9, check measured etc etc)? Then go to work on the charge temp table? Then the full VE table as the last variable? Obviously the VE will have to be adjusted during the above as you go. My next question, is, how does the multi fuel deal with the difference between the pump fuel and e85 (or inbetween) fuel charge cooling differences? I'm a long way away from sticking any ethanol in it, but I would like to gather any more understanding I can in the mean time. Thanks, Mike

Won't that only open and close the flap for 0.4 secs?

Wondering if it is possible to have the mixture map data filtered by the window selected by the time plot range? As in, if I have a section of log I want to zero in on, and be able to run only that section through the mixture map, similar to how the XY plots work?

Bit of an update... We had Zedfest #8 over the Easter weekend here, which was a 1200km round trip. I had a massive push to get cars running and in a state to make the trip. Both (my and my wife's) zeds ran great all weekend, and we got a couple of trophies between us. Cara won In Car Entertainment and People's Choice, and I won the innovation award for my PCLink dash setup mostly. Progress update wise, I have redone my fuel setup, no surge tank anymore, no fuelab products at all anymore. 2 x 485 pumps in tank controlled by a SSR (and ecu) and a FPR2000 reg. Have the triggering sussed out now, with the NZ Wiring cam sync wheel/GT101 combo on the cam and the cherry on the crank. Established that there is a big difference between the stability of ignition timing going from rising to falling edges on both sensors. Not sure why I had them on rising edge originally. Anyway, sorted now.

You need to press 'enter' to confirm the value you put in the box. The box will go blue. Ask how I know...

I use that same cam sync trigger. Works well

yes sorry, I am using factory gearbox sensor. I didn't think we could use the ABS sensors as wheel speed?

I ended up with a value of 131 (using GPS app for actual speed). I have 4.11 gears and 18in wheels.

Brain fail, sorry mate

How big is the ECU pull-up?

Something I have NOT done with my sensor. Will do ASAP tho... Hang on, what about the ECU pullup? Mine is already set to 'ON'

Yeah I use the Pipo X8 remotely, displaying on a 7in screen in my dash via hdmi. Works fantastic. Biggest issue is the x8 does not have a battery, so hard cutting power while the unit is still on can be an issue.

I have drilled out to suit a 10mm bolt. Works fine. I was sceptical, but Andre at HP says he does it all the time.

+ 1 Was surprised it didn't already do this.

Would this be at all possible? Instead of having to save each individually?

Let me see if i grasp this. The point is to not have to remap when/if you adjust vtc points? Changing vtc on rpm will modify the VE of the rpm that vtc spans right? So wouldnt you still have to adjust your maps 2?

Cool, thanks for clarifying

Doesn't fuel pump prime time take care of your lack of rail pressure?

Have been revisiting this. Can someone please confirm the function on the 'Active Zone Area'? I (probably stupidly) assumed that a bigger value here meant that more of the sample falls in the zone (ie: 100% meant that the you are perfectly centred in the zone), but after re-reading the help info, it seems that I have it ass about face.

Not related to fuel pump prime time setting

ECU or fuel pump?

What axis do you have on the 2nd maps? Cant get my head around what you can use that will be consistent even tho you might make the VTC on/off points change.

Thanks Steve

Anyone?
