PA How does my base tune look

93 base model fd3s with some mods.
FMIC
Fluidyne rad
Non-sequential conversion
Efini y-pipe
Downpipe, resonated midpipe and greddy catback
Mtx-L wideband
Stock primaries with id2000 secondaries (FPR is set to about 36-37)
Apexi PfC (also have datalogit but haven't gotten that far yet)
Still utilizing stock WG solenoid and purge control solenoid

No idea what my boost is set at, haven't converted the numbers but I can get more detailed info when I tinker with it later. I needed to drive it a few blocks back to the house and it did fine other than a little sputter when initially hitting the throttle.
Ign timing gets to stock number -5,-20 and raise together when revved.

You have not shown your tune just your commander. Your water temps are way to high, there is no reason for a 1056rpm idle and the AFRs are too rich.

i was running only distilled water and it had been sitting still running for 10 minutes or so, and the fans had just turned on, the temp never exceeded 101, it normally stays between 89-98*. ill get the actual values for everything and post in a little. thanks for the input so far.

Your fans should kick on before 100C. Attach your map is the best way to look at it.

Yea I guess it's still on stock thermoswitch, was mostly stock before I started to replace things. And here's my pfc setup. I know it needs more changes but it was idling and driveable as it is. Just to put a few miles on her. Here Ya go

Everything you have done is awful. I strongly suggest you stop messing with things that you clearly do not understand before you end up with a blown engine. You would be better off with the apexi base map. Initialize all.

BTW the thermoswitch does not matter, the PFC can turn the fans on at any temp. Get the car tuned by someone that knows what they are doing.

I greatly appreciate the input but there aren't many great tuners cee close by and the reason I'm here. Looking for help. I literally drive the car a few miles staying out of boost the whole time. And yes I have datalogit I'll message him about yahoo

That being what it may, you still have all the injector settings wrong, then tried to compensate by making wholesale changes of +7.8% fuel at every RPM range, then set your boost to nearly 18psi. Not one of these things is smart tuning. Initialize all.

The last thing anyone searching this section needs is to come across this thread and think that what you have done is a good thing.

That is actually where I ended up going. About 2hrs away. I dropped the car off on a Friday and had it back about 5 hours after I dropped it off. Very happy with the service. Two things though, car wouldn't boost over 10lbs but they tried a few things to fix that but without further inspection just left it at 10psi. And I also have total fuel cut under 3/4 tank went WOT around a turn. Not sure if its tune related or not. I was skeptical about going there at first but in the end I was very happy about how it all worked out.
