Tuning with XEDE?!??!?!
Tuning with XEDE?!??!?!
Well, I have my XEDE and installed it with a base map and it is pretty good. However, we have been having some cooler weather and the boost is going higher than I would like (peaking at 23-24 psig). So, I wanted to fine tune the boost settings for cooler weather and still not disturb my setting in warmer weather. I believe that this should be possible since the boost map is a 3-D map. X-coordinate is RPM, y-coordinant is MAF (load) and z-coordinant is wastegate solenoid duty cycle. Technically a higher MAF should be present whenever the air is cooler allowing you to fill those "higher load" cells with solenoid duty cycles that are lower.
If you have a laptop hooked to the XEDE while running, it shows what cells of the table you are currently in. However, the update is extremely slow and does not respond in real time. Therefore, I never know where I am at on the map to make appropriate adjustments. I tried logging, but it suffers from the slow update also. I am just a little tired of guessing wrong.
I am wondering if anybody has any ideas how to get some real time data to take advantage of all of the features that this system offers or am I expecting too much.

Tuning the Xede's boost is tough. I have problems with it just because I'm trying to tune out the flatest boost curve.
But I have learned a trick with out having to data log. I have the boost gauge directly infront of my Tach. And when I see a spike or a dip I adjust the setting right before that RPM were there is a dip or spike.
This works for me with having to data log and I can do it real time. I would also suggest tuning on the coldest day.
As far as load my power levels don't go over 60% of MAF.

BTW... "70 1/2 Camaro" cool car. Got any pics?
