If you read above that is pretty much what I’m doing. I’m just learning as much as I can and need to get the car at least driveable to get a few miles on my diff r&p before it sees any big load.

I have a full baseline file and I’m comparing and migrating files one at a time to check the difference in things cause I’d rather learn it than just letting others do everything. Trial by fire right now.

And again, Lucas (owner of English Racing) will be working his magic when I can get my schedule to align with his

 

The only way to learn is to fumble and stumble through the software - keep at it!

 

To an extent. easy to screw something up and do some major damage in an ecu if your not careful. but yea definitely good to play around and learn the software so you can make changes when required

 

Thats why you set up all your safety parameters first!

 

Gotta be kinda not paying attention for that to happen. Dallas already has a bit of a handle on tuning. So it's more just learning the new ECU. Tuning isn't black magic, even though some ECU's are more difficult or in depth than others.

 

Just keep hitting the + key

 

Sounds like you would also greatly benefit from a "learn to tune" course specific to your Motec M1 ECU and EVO package. Having the HPA courses as a base will be very helpful but if you are making changes within the ECU/software and intend to make changes/analyze your own data as you use the car even after a professional tune i would HIGHLY suggest continuing your education specifically for your Motec M1.
Guess and check is NOT the correct way to tune or make adjustments, you should be 100% confident in any change you make by fully understanding why you are making said change and how said change will effect the calibration/engine. It will be a bit of a learning curve but you'll pick things up very quickly i'm sure and be LOADS more confident in your self and car/ECU which is always a good thing.

Most importantly enjoy the learning and experience along the way!

 

Small update, got my date scheduled for Lucas to work on the tune. Should get a good bit of time with him to learn all the things and get it running tip-top.

Once I get the car back together I'll put some miles on the car to burn off old e85 and switch to pump gas. Just need to finish swapping some springs, change some oils, and an alignment.

 

Looking forward to seeing some results!

 

Got the car all flushed of E85 and back on pump. Its loaded in the trailer ready to head to English Racing tomorrow morning.

 

did you post up the results? How are you liking motec? So far the emtron is awesome. Really impressed with it and MFT Solutions on the tune.

 

Im sure I posted it somewhere but 420 on pump @ 18psi and 520 on e85 @ 30psi tapering to 27ish.

Overall it’s been pretty great. Definitely see how the motec solution is really built for the professional teams because there are so many things that can overlap and take control but I’ve learned a ton. I’ve also added DBW with a kit I’m working on for o-ringed Bosch 68mm and EvoX throttle pedal. It’s been absolutely flawless on my car. Wife had no clue I changed anything cause feel and position of the pedal is perfect.

Still need JRR to modify the files so it can read steering angle correctly. I have my own solution but would be good to have it correctly working.

Now I’m trying to figure out how to get an auto blip downshift but I need to tie in some sort of logic for both clutch and brake in to indicate a downshift.

 

those are crazy numbers for that turbo. What style of dyno? Phou has the 2.0 on his car and did 480 hp and 350ish ftlbs. Heck the hill climb car just got tuned last week and it did 560hp with a g30-770.

getting auto blip will be nice.

we have a steering angle sensor tied into the emtron but haven’t played with it much. Someone at emtron had a base map for the acd to get started and we haven’t messed with it much it’s on the to-do list.

 

I was pretty stoked with the results, especially making over 400 on pump with under 20psi. It was on ER’s dynojet. Lucas spent a good half day doing pulls and tweaks at different boost levels playing with timing sweeps. So we ended up with max boost and low timing to get there.

The OEM steering angle sensor is an encoder with center pin that’s low for seven steps with the middle being center. The motec just looks for an analog input so it’s not doing it right. I have an arduino to read the encoder and output a 0.5-4.5v signal.

The other thing I want JRR to change is the way out put is added. Theirs a throttle and brake map and that’s added to a slip map. Thats pretty good but on the slip map I want to add a steering rate axis

That way I can have 3d maps for throttle/braking vs steering angle vs speed and add slip vs steering rate vs speed.

 

Anyone run one of theses:

tryimg to figure out the easiest way to get flew fuel on a street car and stumbled across this.
