From my experience until you get a little heavier load than 70-80 your AFRs are going to be ok. As long as you flashed that Tephra/RS ROM.

Start pulling a little timing bro. Dont be scared. I know I was but it was either be scared or let the engine keep detonating. Now you tell me which sounds more scary?

Be prepared to start pulling a lot of timing across that range to get it smooth.

Youre an Auto right?

 

Just keep pulling timing and use the false knock your gettting it so you will feel safer. Then you can do what I did by using the evo 8 knock settings and start increasing timing, im running almost the same timing as a stock evo 8

 

I pulled some last night and got some 6+ knock counts around 65 load.

Yeah I have the Auto tephra/RS rom on my car right now. It seems alot of timing will have to be pulled to make it work as the loads increase.

Should I start pulling time like a couple of load setting before to make things smoother or no?? Meaning if I'm going to pull timing in the 70 load at what ever RPM should I pull timing in like 50 and 60 load as well at that RPM to smooth it out.

 

almost forgot my wife just texted me that the wideband came so imma try and install it tonight (which I doubt because of the Bruins game), if not I'll install it tomorrow after all the errands that are already lined up.

 

aem wideband seems alot simpler to install than the Innovate wideband.

Can someone shoot me a pic or a link to what cable to use to log the AEM wideband with evoscan, please.

I know I can log it through the ecu but I want to hold off a little bit on that.

 

any advice on this??

 

U have to make it. 2 wires one is ground. U need a serial db9 connector. Search google Aem instructions

^ thanks bro.

ok couple of more questions, that I don't have clear answers on:

1. I wasn't able to find the answer to this question or I completely missed it but do we work off the hi octane timing map or the low octane timing map?

2. the auto evo rom, it doesn't start to read our maps until I hit 100 load right?? so the settings on it at the moment don't matter before 100 load right??

 

it reads all the load colums, boost sets in at 100 load, its best to start off tuning around 90 load before the car hits boost, I had lean issues during hard acceleration because the turbo spooled to quick and my map colum read around 13.3 at 90 load

 

looking at my boost gauge, when I'm at about 60-70 load the boost gauge is reading on the
"0". So I left off because of knock

 

Using the tephra/rs ron we're hitting boost in the 60-70 range. Start pulling there. That is indeed knock you are seeing.

 

That's gonna be alot of timing being pulled. what are you at, at the moment in terms of timing??



advice??

 

hmm 60-70 range? at what rpm?

I usually do my pulls at 2500 rpm

 

i got:
8 counts at 65 load at 2687.5 rpm ,
5 counts at 60 load at 2156.25 rpm,
3 counts at 55 load at 2750 rpm,
9 counts at 67.5 load at 2312.5 rpm,
8 count at 60 load at 2250

this are at different pulls on the way back from work.

boost area??
