updated :-)

 

Thanks Jack_of_trades
I've beenusing this since the first version.

Any way I could convince you to add drag and gear ratios for scoobies?

 

LOL, probably not. My mitsu loyalty is too strong haha. Idk, maybe down the road but I don't want to add too much clutter (and code!).

 

Lol, what if I bought a few map switches in return

heh, I can look up all the gear ratios and drag coefficients andsend them to you.
Either way, thanks again... I'll still be ordering a couple map switches in a couple days.

 

I'll see how my time pan's out in the next month or so. I need to learn a lot more Excel code but I'd like to add a drop-down list at the top of the Dyno Graph page for 'USER Presets'. That way you can add your vehicles info on a 'preset' page and you just choose your name from the list and it will auto-fill all of your data for your car. Then you can add other friends to your 'preset list' so you can quickly choose their name from the list for comparisons. A lot better than typing in the same info all the time. I think I have a way to program that feature already so maybe I can get it working for the next revision,though it won't be anytime too soon. My brain is fried, my fiance wants to cut my sack off and I haven't even got enough donations to purchase DLL (lol...my attempt at topic related humor) so its hard to warrant the additional time investment at this point at least lol. I'll find time. I think the base principle is dialed in VERY well at this point so any addtions won't be too bad really.

Hmm, maybe when I make the 'preset' vehicle page I will also add the 3rd gear,4th gear and final drive gear ratio blank boxes too so you guys can add ANY car to the drop-down list that you choose! I may put a filter to disallow subies though...I kid,I kid. I like that idea better than having to constantly update the software with a new revision number.

I found that DSMlink users can export their logs to a .csv folder so they can easily use this program, still trying to find a way to export AEM EMS logs though

 

As soon as I get a chance to try it (this weekend) I will make a donation. Everyone else using it should make one also!

 

Putting v5.5 to use. Thought I would show a comparison of a pull from with my exhaust cutout closed followed by it open about 30 seconds later. With it closed, I am going through a hi-flow cat (some generic hi-flow cat from an RNR group buy years ago) and the stock cat-back/muffler). With the cut-out open, it exits right from the downpipe:


EvoM comparator correction factor (re-added with correct 05 gear ratio)

Here is a comparison of the logs in LogWorks:

Dotted line is cut-out open.

Now, time for me to tune since I have my wideband rewelded so that it doesn't bang the frame/underside of the car. I want to see how much I can extract through the stock cat-back. Time to up the boost and see where I can get.

You could set it up so when you activate the cut-out switch it automatically switches to the alt-maps if you wanted to tune separately for the cut-out and with the full exhaust. Just an idea. If you'd want to do that I can help you figure out how to wire it up. should be very easy to do.

 

JoT,

One thing I noticed is that you have the 05 VIII gear ratios the same as the IX (at least 3rd gear). I didn't know that was the case. Where did you get that info from? It makes sense that they are the same since the 05 VIII was the fist to have ACD like the IX.

 

I cross referenced a bunch of sources and it seemed to be correct with dyno runs I was given too so I assumed it was true, so far it seems to be correct according to users. *shrug*

 

I need more horsepower everywhere I can get it.

I can verify with some logs...the only issue is that speed logging sucks, so it's hard to verify.

 

cool overlay Eric...the cutout works!

 

Well tell me your tire size, then cruise at 3K RPM in 3rd and tell me the MPH that you get on the odometer? Maybe from that I can confirm?

 

Well, the gear ratios are so close that at 3k, you're talking about like a 1mph difference. That's why it's difficult to do. I may use DMA logging one day to log just RPM and MPH and do a pull in 3rd gear, but I don't think that will help either, since the speed 1-byte's resolution is too big.

Today on the way to the gym I held my RPM as steady as I could at 3500RPM and it looked like my speed was about 41-42, but again too hard to tell which ratio.

 

Yeah, unfortunately, I hate the noise. Time for someone to implement sound cancellation technology.
