Rtek AFR Tuning methods
i wonder if it would be possible to adjust the filters with the write software input into the rtek...
i'd really like to scope a knock sensor during a dyno run and look for knock and a wider field of khz.

What I said was "they are basically the same" in the sense the heart is a Piezoelectric device. My thinking is if the a sensor has a response characteristic close to the OEM part, the control unit should provide some level of retard. If mine is defective (no voltage output), I intend to get that cheapy (or even one like the Autozone's Bosch looking one that's in your article for $36 and just bolt it on) and experiment to see how my control unit responds to a good old smack.

Well, here's a recent log. Temps are low. Seems to be running great, just a little lean at times, will spin the tires in 3rd at about 50mph in the rain. (you can see where the rpms shoot up=no traction)
Will start tweaking with the fuel pressure or AFM when the weather gets better, and I get some new tires and try to get it to boost 14psi safely.

The log attached is just a renamed .pdb file to .zip. O2 sensor scaling 5V=20AFR 0v=10AFR

I'm a little late in the game..just put 2.1 in my car. How are you getting those nice colored spread sheets? Also how is it labeling your wideband? I'm using the variable resistor input for my wideband...
I'm using an N390 air flow meter(similar to S5) and am showing a max of 32.2lb/min...which my engine reaches around 5,600rpm :[
and...noticed my map sensor picked up 15.2 psi...what's the maximum it can read?
I'm using the stock timing maps(not map based) and I'd like to get a log for you guys to look at...but that means being in 3rd gear since 2nd is just wheel spin with my 245s, hard to find a nice road around here for a full tilt 3rd gear pull.

Oh.. Rlly. Hmm... I'm going to crack mine open here soon and tweak it. If it doesn't work right I might try an s5 or 13bre one...
Under the preferences you can relabel the perameters name I believe. you need to edit the scaling for the external sensor (ie. 5v=20afr 0v=10afr)

Are these actually AFMs or MAFs (i.e., flapless) sensors?
If they are AFMs, do they have higher CFM capacity?

Re: the 985 reading. Is that simply a value related to the flapper's Voltage output? Then this value would be lower if the flapper for some reason is not swinging open all the way. I would phyisically swing open the flapper completely and measure the voltage output. I believe it should be Vref = 5 volts?
Hey guys,
I was also wondering what opinions you might have for this leading timing map I have created: s5 stock ports, 93 octane.
Would be interested if you think its conservative, agressive, any advanced sections in it? especially lowed/boost i'm worried about?
Thanks!

if i switch to map based timing and plug that map into my palm. im pretty sure i am going to boost over 10 psi as i have a over boosting problem. that i hope to tune for. what is the engine going to do when it hits the wall of 0's?







gonna pull some timing and remove my exhaust silencer before I do more wot logging.
