Speed Density: A little confused
I used my maf to create what I thought should be a valid 3d sd map. Long story short is there were spots that no matter how mush i adjusted VE they just would not change. Some of these spots were really lean and some were really rich. I then started messing with my fuel map in the areas where i was running lean by lowering the numbers and all the sudden my afr's are falling in line.
My understanding is that the fuel map has 0 effect on AFRs. This does not seem to be the case. What role does the fuel map play in 3D SD if any.....I am not sure which table I should be adjusting anymore. I feel like I must have overlooked some part of the setup or misread something.
FYI....I am running full open loop if that matters any.

The fuel map acts like normal. The ve map adjusts fueling aswell. Ve is not a linear adjustment sometimes it takes more ve change in some parts of the map to accomplish the same thing.
I've never encountered a stuck spot like that. I've been in full ol before too.

1. At what point should you adjust the fuel map?
2. How far past 100 is acceptable in a VE table? My thought is it should never past 100 but i heard some people
go well into the 120 range.
I haven't played with the rich spots as much yet. The leans sports received most of my attention thus far.

A better VE formula will be:
VE= Load/(MAP*(298/(273+MAT)))
So, it will vary as MAT changes. But using a simple load/map will be fine. As stated, you can tweak your tune with the tables. The formulas are just to get rough starting values.
Also, for load, keep in mind the notes from mrfred a while back:
spark advance lookup: For air temp below 77F, baro+airtemp compensated load is used for spark advance. For temps above 77F, then baro compensated load is used.
afr lookup: for closed loop conditions when load is < ~20, uncompensated load is used, otherwise, baro+airtemp compensated load is used. This means that baro+airtemp compensated load is used essentially all the time for AFR lookup.

Also, just for the records...some notes I posted a long time ago when I was testing SD. If you have the mass airflow patch that mrfred created, you can also do VE like this, as I tested (this was on my Evo 8 with minimal mods):
To get pounds of air: n (lbs/min) = P (psia) x V (CFM) x 29 / (10.73[ft3ˇpsiˇ °R-1ˇlb-mol-1] x T)
A(cfm)=Cid*VE*RPM/3456[PR]
VE=n(lb/min)*10.73*T(*R)*3456

If you have switched over already, just keep it at that. No need to go back to get logs, etc. It just helps in getting rough values to start with.
Think of it this way maybe...use the SD tables for rough tuning, and use your fuel map for fine tuning. If you have to adjust your fuel map too much, then go back to your SD tables.

Thank you very much.
1 last question......what would you define as to much? 1 full point in either direction? Example is in the area i was having lean issues with i adjusted the numbers from 14.7 to 14.1 and that put me more in line with my target AFRs. Would that be considered too much?

What formula was that? Having a blonde moment and can't find it. I can't log lbs/min etc as I don't have a rom where that's been patched so I can't use l2r99's formula.
