Mikie needs to tune my car first! I added some Boost Mods to my new map per mfred's thread on the forum. I havent had a chance to play with them but they seem a lot nicer then the current open loop setup. I am also planning on getting a JDM Map so we can setup the closed loop system and tune properly, i.e. tell ecu to control level of boost not load.

Dex, if you ever have a night I'd really like your help understanding some of these logs though. Not sure what all this load stuff correlates too. Mitsu ECU FTL....

 

oh man, ECU logs= way over my head

 

i'm really not sure what you need to know. are you using evoscan or mitsulogger? theres a few different Load's logged, but one of them most accurately depicts which loadcell is used for timing and fuel. there's a few threads on how to accurately calculate load, maybe if you do the 2-byte load rom-mod, you can get a really accurate load. I really like the boost mods from mrfred's thread, but i need a wideband - before i start doing any tuning/ or boost mods on my own.

 

Mikie had all of the questions. He has never tuned based off load, always boost, so i think he just wanted to see if you could answer some of his questions before we went forward. He does have an extra wideband I am going to install one weekend once i get my gauges in so we can monitor boost, egt, and A/F to make sure everything is kosher. Anyway, we can talk more tonight, I cant wait to see the car!

 

dex we need to have some words tonight

im startin to learn about tuning, etc... i don't plan on tuning my car anytime soon but when i do give in and do it i wanna really understand what is going on!

 

ah yea, 2nd that...can we just have a tuning tutorial one of these days!

 

Everyone should be required to buy a JDM MAP sensor and move to closed loop tuning.
"ECU, please run 24psi."
"Yes Michael."

 

hahahaha

i seriously just cracked up

 

wow, you guys can pick my brain, but i'm really just a novice with tuning. I have spent a good amount of time in the ECUFlash forums and on Active Matrix, and i am obsessed with micro-controllers in general, so i'll try and pass on whatever knowledge i do have.

 

im sure you know waaaaaaaaaaay more than i do!

 

i use blizzak lm 22... i drive around in the snow storm to laugh at the bmw's and my cousin's si. this winter im gonna take pictures of them being stuck....lol.

 

^^^ nice man. i'm leanin towards the blizzaks.

great time as usual tonight boys!!! i think i actually got some good pics with my little camera haha. my battery died and i cant find the charger tho!!! but as soon as i do im postin that pic of paul lol

 

I've got some other great pics of Paul with his new friend, but I don't think we should post those. To gracefully show respect to them where they showed a lot of respect to us.

Of course, I'll be blowing up a poster sized one for my garage...but no public posting.

 

Here you go.

No time to work on them except one of greg's moving shots is a combined 50/50 from a dark and light shot.





































Enjoy.


I have all hi-res. I'll burn a CD sometime soon with a bunch of pics and make copies for you guys.


Again, I think we should refrain from posting pictures of our last-minute guests. Just my $0.02

 

awesome pics dave, I like these rolling shots a bit better than the last ones, cleaner...

I agree with refraining from posting pics of the guest, considering he actually knew about Evos! lol

And Paul, NO, you will not be posting that Pic, lol
