I spent quite some time adjusting the tickover and throttle enrichment (to get better response).  It's not difficult to do, read the manual carefully.  If you save off the base map you can play and then always revert back if needs be.  It is frustratingly slow when compared to mapping on the rollers but it's not hard to do.  Just try!

The ignition learn only removes ignition advance so no chance of increasing power. It is a safety feature to make sure there is no knock. Fuel learn then ignition learn. That is it for a safe map. Do these two then decide if you feel further improvements are required.

Really appreciate all the tips guys.... Went out for a couple of hours last night at 22.00

Didn't hit all the columns green but hopefully the session was good enough.

 

Cars pulling like a train now and feels even smoother

 

So the general consensus is do a knock ignition learn then I should be safe to rag it all day on Monday?

I must say I've had no issues regarding the software I'm using a PC on windows 10 its been rock solid went for a 2 hour drive processed the table no problem. Saved to ECU - calibration permanent and engine switched off.

A very good fuel learn 👍 After I have processed and saved the fuel learn to the ECU. I always reconnect the PC to the ECU and check the main fuel table comparing with the previous map (base map in your case) to check the changes have been made. Just the ignition learn now which is pretty much the same process as a fuel learn.

I had mine set on the dyno, (more to find out what I had power wise) but I will be coming to have it done by the expert especially if I'm going to be racing with him soon :-)

Kind Sir's your help needed again please.

 

Does this look okay? If I'm reading it correctly there seems to be some knock higher up the rev range?

 

Didn't apply this one as I went over a few bumps what do we think? Worried that as my suspension is stiff its picking up false knock?

When you pick up flase knock, chance is small that it is at the same place.

So compare multiple logs before making knock specific changes.

Thank you thank you..... Okay great will do.... is it normal for the power delivery to be less instant when its hot?

 

Car feels a little laggy

 

To go back to the original do I just load the last fuel learn?

Yes intake temp matters. Over 57 and ecu starts taking back ignition. Next to warm inlet air having less oxigen thus less efficient burning. Both causes less power.

Okay found out the issue.... https://goo.gl/photo...3kcVsA9QZWP4pCA

 

The catch tank pipe got stuck on the vacuum pipe resulting in no boost... moved this out the way and she back to normal.

 

Just worried I damaged the engine as there appeared to be some knock whilst it wasn't allowing boost to build!

Just process the knock learn for now and it will remove some ignition advance. You will have a safe map for now. Don't worry about 4 degrees KR the engine will be fine.

[Firthy]

Thanks Oakmere looks like I'm reading the knock wrong.... Did a log again plus sent my calibration to peter and he's happy, thank you all for your advise

unless you  have done something seriously wrong the ecu will protect you,
