Can someone help me please. I build 2.3 litre engine for my car and now I need to set it up (originaly it was 2.0).

I have ecuflash and evoscan (got used to this software a bit).

What should I look at first: fuel maps, ignition maps or something else ?

I started logging my car and it starts nocking at 3000 rpm and 110-120 load, any advice how to eliminate it

 

maybe u shouldnt be doing this yourself... dont want to hurt that new 2.3

 

i am not trying to set it up to extract maximum power, it's a matter of interest

 

Not a good time to be learning and breaking in a new motor for sure. Spend a bit more and have it properly tuned man!

 

is it possible to start with minimum boost, safe ignition timings ?

P.S. when is a good time to start learning ?

Maybe read the above post, and work with a good tuner who can show you what they're doing, and why they're doing it.

The problem with tuners that there arent many around and they dont want to share their secrets, they just want to charge 500-1000$ for a remap. Thats more profitable.

Thank you for the links, videos were very helpful.

 

Please, can someone advise me, what should be tuned when we increase engine size from 2l to 2.3l, apart from obvious bits such as timings and fuel maps ?
