I would take fuel out at 2500, 4500 and 5000 and add fuel at 7000 then log again to see if it's knocking anywhere.

you want to be ~ 12.5 heading towards 12.0 during spool up (2000-3000) and quickly get to ~ 11.5-11.0 a peak boost ~ 3300

at 4500 and 5000 you're in the 10.9 area, try to bump that up to ~ 11.2

at 7000 you're still going a bit lean, there's no knock but I would get it down to ~ 11.2 and see how it reacts with more timing.

small moves though, nothing drastic, let me know if you have any questions.

p.s. there was no wideband data in your second log, so I did not comment on it.

 

Thank you mellon i will try that today and see what happens. I guess the wideband didn't connect again on the second log, sorry..

 

you're welcome and you're doing good, keep it up

 

Wow good advice there..... Its sad to think you tune peoples cars and they are happy with them.

Yeah thats it just richen it up and crame more timing down its throat

 

please enlighten us on what you would have him do

 

Everyone here inputted their opinions, but nobody asked the very important question.
What octane gas are you using? That makes a huge difference on what timing and AFR's you want to be running.

 

the car is on 93

 

I would have it in 12's at spool up and by redline have it to 11.8 (like it is) or even 12.0's (which is what i do).

He should focus on building a nice lean, mean and "safe" fuel map and then build a timing map optimized for the afr. His timing looks good and I think I even run a couple more degrees than he does with 0 knock with occasional 1's-2's and a 12.0 afr. He can keep adding timing at different areas until it knocks and then back off a degree and the car should run very well. 1's and 2's mean your trying, tuning for 0 knock is just a waste of time.

and cramming timing down a motors throat and adding fuel to compensate so it doesnt knock is just plain barbaric.

By no means am I a "tuner" and i dont tune anyone elses car but my own but so far I have my IX running very strong with minimal mods and is 100% safe.

Here is a link to one of my 3rd gear logs, 23 psi, 93 octane.....its still a work in progress but im getting closer to where i want it to be and its running very strong. I have a tbe, intake, mbc.

Octane means very little to a competant tuner. All it does is help target the baseline flash.

Whether 90-94oct a competant tuner can tune from the logs without the need for the oct figure.

 

Now that I have reread the pull conditions, yes the advice to richen to 11-11.2 in 3rd is not the direction we would take, unless of course you are looking for 10.2AFR in 5th gear.

 

this is a nice thread for you to ruin it.
its a good thing tuners like mellon and ttp come in here and give their expertise opinions on the matter they are very helpful to this comunity and we should appreciate that.
so its not fair you come in here writing things that are not helpful to the evo comunity so i suggest that if your gonna say something be more constructive on your comments....
so please help the OP on his logs and tunes as this 2 other guys and the evo comunity are doing

 

What did I ruin? and did you read my next post..........I appreciate good information from people with expertise that helps me learn, but bad information I dont like and hate when i see it given and spread. So I commented on the bad information i was seeing, then I gave my .02 cents in my next post which obviously you didnt read?

its all good man

 

all for the evo comunity

 

It drops almost a full point from 3rd to 5th gear? Is that what the ecu does or is there a reason for that?

 

Sorry,

double post
