The MAF translator is defiantly not helping.

Also, today, with Stock ECU SD available, the MAF-T is highly unneeded.

 

Cocktease. Just saying.

^ no joke lol

yeah should have went sd to begin with. looking @ kits now

 

Yeah he did not scale your injectors, that is the scaling for pump gas.

 

scaled injectors down. i think maf translator is bad. i can unplug it with car running and still stays running. tried to go drive it wouldnt come out of 10s on wideband. was bucking and all kinds of stuff. cant even drive it now. idk crap

 

anybody have anything?

 

Do you still have the stock OEM MAF?

 

no my friend has his maf though. gonna try that sat. i just dont get why it runs like sh*t just by switching to e85, acts like its running on 3 cylinders. changed plugs. old ones were terrible. so fustrated. really wanna put it back on pump gas and sale it. im so pissed

 

Dont give up.Do you have a 4 bar map sensor or stock?

 

You should have had him put a map sensor in while you were on pump and then switch over to e85 while running speed density using the existing fuel temp to control air flow.Only if you have the tephra mod though.

 

oem map sensor. i have the v7 map. i actually trusted(said tuner) i knew maf translator wasnt the way to go but took his word

 

i did the tephra mod myself. he told me the tephra stuff was "stupid" and "a waste of time" when he was done " tuning my car"

 

If he saying that stuff, run far, far away...

 

based on what you said id put it back on its normal maf setup and start there. you could go straight to a speed density tune also..

if you have a programmer & laptop & loggable wideband it can all be done remotely.

send me your rom off the car if you're able to at tscompusa@gmail.com and i will take a look at it and tell you what i find in it.

based on the fuel map he has its running open loop in cruise area (load & rpm based only).. but the guy also clearly doesn't care about smoothness when it comes to the mapping which is a bad sign IMO for a tuner.

tephra mod is definitely not a waste of time its actually awesome. i only ever did 1 evo on the maf translator a built 2.4 with a crapload of mods.. theres multiple ways to program the translator.. have you researched how to use it?

if you send me an email put this in the subject "STINKBOMB CHECK MAP EVOM" so i dont overlook it.

i pulled up pdf file on translator. i have it set up according to instructions. 3 inch gm maf. 53% for injectors. only prob. with going back to stock maf is i have a tial bov. but if it idles good then i know translator or maf is problem. thank god i broke new motor in on pump gas. as this problem would have def. washed the cylinders down.
