I believe load is really topping out at between 180-200 at 3500-4500 rpm's and dropping from there (compared to a stock X at sea level that tops out between 200-220 load). Hitting lower load would explain the slightly higher timing advance values we're seeing.

Also, I tried both 11-1 and 11-3 for knock sum and both stay at zero in all my logs. I guess the only way to truly find out if it's working is to advance timing until it registers knock?

I'd appreciate anything you can share on boost or load logging!
What kind of numbers are you currently seeing for load in Evoscan? Too high? Too low?

I knew that but wasn't sure where to paste these lines or if I can insert new lines between the existing ones? Is the order important?

Oddly, I originally tried 11-3 and also got zero on my logs. I then switched to 11-1 and it is logging a knock sum value just fine. As others have mentioned, 3 knock sum=1 degree of knock retard. I had a few knock events every so often so glad we got this working. Now just need to order a Forge wastegate so I can hold 24 PSI on this FP Red. Keeps tappering to 22 lbs.

The order doesn't really matter as long as it's in the EvoX section. Just put the new parameter (IDC) right below the IPW or something.

Load appears to be way too high. It's maxing out at 255 by 3500 rpm's. By analyzing the timing, I'm concluding that my true peak load is around 200. There is no way I've maxed it out at 3500 rpm's

I'm running the stock map and timing dips down to 11 degrees at the lowest point. Basically, all my values are about 2 degrees higher than what Bryan posted for stock X's, and I believe this is due to the car making less power (less dense air) at high elevation.

I have verified that 11-1 is knock for Evo X MR. I logged knock, got some knock, then took timing out, and no more knock. Sweet. I did notice that when you open the log in Excel, it shifted the value to 11-2. I can't explain that one. Maybe the numbering got off somewhere in the definition file.

I will verify on my GSR tonight.

Hi all,

Just installed EvoScan Beta 11 and I couldn get it to connect to the vehicle.

When I plugged in my OP2 cable, turn ignition on. I got nothing on the screen.

Any ideas?

Did you copy the data.xml that was supplied with the beta into the install folder? It looks to me you don't have any EvoX parameters.

I copied everything in the beta zip files into the program file directory. When I launch evoscan and press CTRL E, I can edit and see the EvoX parameters though...

AFR Logging

Just wondering if anyone has successfully logged AFRs using an USB interface on Evoscan. I'm using the AEM UEGO WB O2 with an USB adpater and it logs for about 2 seconds, then cuts off. Most people have success with direct serial port logging but I only have USB ports on my laptop.

I can log with PCMScan correctly and the proper COM port is selected so I'm sure it's not a hardware issue. It seems to be an issue with Evoscan and serial/USB adpaters.

Hey guys,

The beta is working fairly well. I'm averaging 64k/sec. There are still some non-functional can-id's for me. Does anyone have a more current data.xml file?

hrmm 11-1 isn't knocksum on the GSR.

maybe the CANID bug got my evoscan confused, but I didn't see the usual KS behavior with 11-1.

need to log less things - getting 1 second jumps logged EVERYTHING

11-3 seems to work for me on the GSR, I crossed referenced it ECUTek DeltaDash and got the same numbers.

It worked for me. Every decline in timing was accompnied by a change in the KS.

I am not sure about the IPW and IDC. The IDC hits above 100% on this tuned Evo X. The AFR is at 10.9-11 by redline and the boost is at 18.7 psi. The IDC is at 99.88%. It just seems too high.

Check the log and tell me if IDC and IPW are normal.
