Or just tune a map for 91 octane? I know a person that made one for 89 octane just for a roadtrip and still got almost 30mpg. Granted he was running nice and lean cruise AFR's, but my point is you can tune for whatever fuel you have or are going to use.

Can someone tell me how I can delete a map that was created by right clicking from within the Rom?

I right click on a map that I want to remove and there are only a new map and edit map options. In the edit map there are no delete map options.

EDIT: I figured out how to do it.

I recommend giving up on trying to add/change/edit within ECUFlash. Its easier to manually edit (add/change/delete) the definition file by editing the file directly in a text editor. You'll also get a much better idea of how things work. One thing that might be confusing you is that ECUFlash uses two xml files, the "base" file and then the specific ROM definition file. Many of the base definitions and all the scalings are stored in the base file. Parts of the definitions that are specific to the table address are stored in the ROM xml file.

I agree with you 10000%. To edit from Ecuflash is not the proper way to do this. From now on I will edit the base and specific numbered xml file. I will also save a base and xml unedited file in another location on the computer.

BTW, I figured out how to remove a map from within ECUflash.

Is the stock address for the lean stop/start rpm the same for the 05 and 06 Evo, ie, 1280 (start), 1284 (stop)?

If you want to see lean spool start/stop values, go into your 88590015.xml file, and add these items:

<table name="Lean Spool Start RPM" address="1281"/>

<table name="Lean Spool Stop RPM" address="1285"/>


Then go into your evo9base.xml file, and add these items:

<table name="Lean Spool Start RPM" category="Turbo" type="1D" scaling="RPMStatLimit8"/>

<table name="Lean Spool Stop RPM" category="Turbo" type="1D" scaling="RPMStatLimit8"/>

There is another thread on lean spool that is worth reading:

What is the stock 06 address in the 88590015 xml file? The 1281 and 1285 do not show rpm values?

I entered 1280 and 1284 and was able to extend the lean spool from 2500 rpm to 7594 rpm. Would this work? I want to try and extend lean spool and see what happens.
The data are 16 bit values, so the more correct addresses are 1280/1284. However, it can be read from either 1280/1284 or 1281/1285. If you are using a 16 bit scaling, then use 1280/1284. If you are using an 8 bit scaling then its possible to read the data using 1281/1285 as addresses. Either of the following pairs of entries will work:

<table name="Lean Spool Start RPM" category="Misc" address="1280" type="1D" level="1" scaling="RPMStatLimit"/>

<table name="Lean Spool Stop RPM" category="Misc" address="1284" type="1D" level="1" scaling="RPMStatLimit"/>

or

<table name="Lean Spool Start RPM" category="Misc" address="1281" type="1D" level="1" scaling="RPMStatLimit8"/>

<table name="Lean Spool Stop RPM" category="Misc" address="1285" type="1D" level="1" scaling="RPMStatLimit8"/>

7594 is fine if that's what you want to use.

mrfred,

I used these codes in the 88590015.xml file:

<table name="Lean Spool Enable" address="1280" scaling="RPMStatLimit"/>

<table name="Lean Spool Disable" address="1282" scaling="RPMStatLimit"/>

And these codes in the evo9base.xml file:

<table name="Lean Spool Enable" category="Turbo" type="1D" level="1"/>

<table name="Lean Spool Disable" category="Turbo" type="1D" level="1"/>

That gave me two tables in the Rom with the start set @ 2500 rpm and the stop set @ 4531 rpm. How can I get 7000 rpm for lean spool disable?

Hmm. I'm starting to feel like you didn't read anything I suggested that you read. 0x1282 is not the lean spool disable address. Its something completely different. It is not even an rpm value. If you changed that value, you should change it back. After that, change the 0x1282 to 0x1284, and then you will see the lean spool disable rpm.

This is becoming too complicated for me....I deleted all the code I added and went back to the way things were. I do not want to mess stuff up. I will do it the old fashioned way by leaning the fuel tables. Thanks for the help, but I am not good at this stuff

Its not hard. Just add these two entries to your 88590015.xml file:

<table name="Lean Spool Start RPM" category="Misc" address="1280" type="1D" level="1" scaling="RPMStatLimit"/>

<table name="Lean Spool Stop RPM" category="Misc" address="1284" type="1D" level="1" scaling="RPMStatLimit"/>

Paste them in just like you did for the JDM MAP setup. You will see lean spool start/stop expressed as rpm. The enable should be 2500, and the disable should be 7000.

That worked, but the disable was @ 7594 rpm. So now I simply change the rpm numbers by opening the rom and selecting set data from the enable/disable table edit menu just like I do with timing or fuel?

Yep, and 7594 is fine if you want to keep it around 7500. I also suggest that you try setting the disable rpm to 2500. This effectively turns off the lean spool program. Most people find that its easier to control AFR with lean spool turned off like this. And actually, I'd be very interested if you could log some WOT runs with the lean spool start/stop rpm set to 2500. I'd like to see how the AFR compares to your run that you posted at the start of this thread.

Not to complicate things anymore, but you can also turn lean spool on and off via the perephery tables. It is one of the bit coded values.
