First off, what a great analysis tool! I have done a few logs and some minor adjustments to the tune of my car and so far everything is going in the right direction.

My question is in regards to the LoadMax160 reference in the DLL software.

It looks like the numbers for this and the LoadCalc value are fairly similar.

On the graph the LoadMax160 tops out at 160 . . . DER!

Is this value a better choice to determine what load cell to adjust when looking at data below 160?

Before everybody cracks up yeah I'm a noob at this alright.

I think it is awesome that there are people interested enough to write software for tuning, logging etc.

This forum is a great place to search for help with tuning questions but to be honest many of the posts by MJ and all are way over my head.

If anyone has some advice concerning this that would be great.

Thanks,
Bob

 

Forgive me for my explanation as I don't write code and only have a vague understanding of this. The load max 160 is the actual load that the ECU is using. The only problem is that the value is only 1 byte instead of 2. This means that it can only store values below 160. As a result code was written to try and calculate the load. That is the value of the "Loac Calc." However, load calc is not 100% accurate. There is a mod that can be done so that you can read the full value of the acutal ecu load however it is not that easy to integrate.

Below 160, load max is more accurate.

 

LoadMax160 is the MUT output of Load, It tops off at 160 so its not good for tuning under load for the Evo, but it is a good way to look for part throttle load, and idle/cruise load values according to the ECU. It helps for tuning drivability as Loadcalc isn't 100% accurate all the time (its close enough to get the job done)

In Mitsulogger its referred to as ECULoad

 

Thanks MalibuJack! I have been doing a lot of logging and found the DLL tool you mentioned.

I want to look at my tune in exactly those areas, normal daily driving, freeway cruising, etc.

It is sooo much better than the Excel deal I was working on. It certainly makes it easier to look at a graph of the selected items than a bunch of numbers in a spreadsheet or Excel graph.

Thanks again for all of the help that you provide for all of the car geeks
