Tuning help

[JoshH]

Here's what I log on an LLY:

Actual Fuel Rail Pressure (GM.FRPACT)
Air Flow Rate from Mass Air Flow Sensor (SAE.MAF)
Barometric Pressure (GM.BARO2)
Desired Fuel Rail Pressure (GM.FRPDES)
Engine Coolant Temperature (SAE.ECT)
Engine RPM (SAE.RPM)
Intake Air Temperature (SAE.IAT)
Main Injection Fuel Flow Rate 2 (GM.FUELQ_MAIN_DMA)
Main Injection on Time (GM.MAINBPW)
Main Injection Timing (GM.MNINJTIM)
Throttle Position (GM.TP)
Turbo Boost Pressure (GM.BOOST_DMA)
Turbo Vane Position (GM.TCVPOS)
Vehicle Speed Sensor (SAE.VSS)

yea i did that, I just want to know how to log vane position and other things, also can I remove egt from the dashboard and add actual fuel pressure.

I always use dashboard B. It gives you line charts and shows a bigger view of what's going on. If you right click on the information you want to change and look at the bottom of the menu that pops up you will see Metric PIDs >, Imperial PIDs >, and Other PIDs >. Hold your pointer over whichever one you want to change and wait for the menu to pop open. It will only allow you to choose the PIDs you have selected in the PID file. Thing like RPM, any percentage, mm3, timing, and pulse times will be in the Other PIDs section. Speed, temperatures, MAF rates, and things like that will be in the Imperial or Metric PIDs sections. You can also right click the chart, click Chart properties..., and select the Series tab at the top of the window that pops up. You can modify the color, style, and width of the lines, and you can also change the scale of the information shown.

I couldnt get dashboard b to work unless I click record. Is that normal?

Im going to post a log for you guys to look at, and give some feedback.

 

[JoshH]

Yep, it's only active when you are recording or looking at recorded information. I very rarely ever use the monitor feature.

What do yall thinK? This is my "hot" tune per sey. IMO its not very hot.

 

[JoshH]

Do you have a lift pump? With the kind of pulse you're running, you should be able to hold your desired rail pressure with no problems. What kind of converter are you running? It looks like it might not be locking, notice the minimal rise in RPMs from 46 to 64 MPH and the minimal drop on the shift (or was that the converter finally locking?)

 

[racinmike77]

The stock converter has seen better days:happy2:, I made some changes, commanding more FP and going to install my shim kit tomorrow.

 

[JoshH]

Have you done anything with table B1010? What about the lift pump?

 

[racinmike77]

B1010 is stock but filled in at 44000 and 52000. No pump yet. Truck is fairly new to me.

WOW I AM SO PISSED AT EFI LIVE ITS NOT FUNNY!! Can someone please send me a dashboard and pids to start logging with. I think efi live has a virus or something its ridiculous. All my dashboards are fubared.

Your not the only with logging issues. Mine pisses me off everytime I go to use it.
