^ yes

 

Bigguy.... that is very good information! BTW... I am in Portland right now - Hillsboro to be exact... leaving tomorrow though!

 

wish i would of known that earlier, we could of met up. did you drive or fly? cause it would be nice to see your in person.

hope you are enjoying are nice lovely weather we're having. 84 degrees and sunny

 

I flew in... for work. Had to visit Intel. I am off now... might come up again in a few weeks though.

 

went to get the car tuned today and here is what i found out. after changing the clamp voltage from 2.70v to 2.75v to 2.80v and back to 2.70v it didn't make a change in power.

i've come to the conclusion that going WOT with 100% load will not make a different on what voltage you have clamp as long as the ECU doesn't see anything above 0.

my guess is that it's more for part throttle and less load where the ECU adds timing as it reads pressure approaching 0.

 

and again ill ask ...wonder if an NA car might benefite from clamping the MAP signal

 

^^ No. Bigguyonbike is correct.... stupid of me car used fixed maps during WOT operation (unless the map sees boost... then it cuts off)

 

i'm just going to set the clamp to 2.80v since comptech recommend 2.84v for the best performance. hopefully seat of the pants can tell the difference.

 

The E-manage clamp voltage is different than the ESM clamp voltage...

 

^ what's the different. i thought they both clamp the MAP sensor voltage???

 

They do the same thing... but the voltage is different because of the ground reference.... its about 100-200mV off

 

okay let get to tuning..

who is doing what?...

I set my Fuel Pressure at 27psi @ idle and I am ready to tune this baby.

thoughts of what to do first?

 

Bump...

anyone a wizard at the e-manage software?

 

What do you need to change? I noticed based map supplied was too reach for me even with IC. I pulled the fuel at low, mid-range and it works fine with mid-high 11s AFR. In addition, I set retard timing to 0 except starting from 6K all the way to redline from -1 to -3 degree max.

However, since I'm doing 3.5L swap I plan to use e-manage only up top with larger injectors at lower FP and different FPR.

 

i want to remove the ignition retard.

How do I go about doing it?

Maybe I should try your map out.. Send it to Smitty@acurazine.com

 

I would set to 0 all the way and start retard timing from 6500 to 7000rpm on yours. Mine set from 6000 to 6500 (lower redline). Will send tonight.
