This would mean making 4 different changes. If you think its a really long good datalog, you could do 2-4 different cell blocks and have different sensitivities or delays (idle with more delay). I have found that even N/A WOT the numbers change a bit pull to pull when analyzing.Ĭhange your settings as a NEW NAME so you can go back to your old tune if you don't like what changes you made. Load cell requirements get wacky the lower your pressure/KPA is. You can kinda figure out when a change is bad idea because its based on an odd situation. If you just did a few boosted pulls, you might not want near idle settings or cruise modified. Open the MSQ you were running when the datalog was recorded (don't get things mixed up, though sometimes I have purposely loaded the wrong MSQ for experimenting).Ĭhange the load (rpm, map, delay) situations that you want to change. I often resort to averaging between two known points so you can get close.

The thing that is harder to fill out are the load cells that you don't spend much time in (like the other boost levels that you go through but not what your boost setting is). Basically one datalog running pretty rich and you would be able to get it close, then run a few more to fine tune it. I used to mess with boost manually, but it would probably work great with datalog review. Megalog viewer requires loading an MSQ (megasquirt file) and you need an AFR table in there so Megalog viewer will know what your AFR goals are in each load cell.īTW, when it comes to boosted runs, if you start with too much fuel, its pretty easy to dial back fuel until it gets close. I can also choose what level of "sensitivity to change" want to apply to my map. That way I can choose certain load points I want to tune based on my datalog and then change AFR delay to make sure the AFR is a proper representation of what is really happening. These days I am happier with using Megalog viewer and going through datalogs. I tried using active tuning years ago, it worked, you could even have it change your maps without having a computer hooked up.

Software has changed and is less awkward. They think that stuff is exciting and fun! The MSpro has forced them to become less oddball so I guess the expensive product is a good thing. That had to do with editing a text document that runs while tunerstudio or the no longer supported megatune performed autotune. What was the general learning curve for tuning your 3.0 after getting everything set up? How good is the self tuning that is advertised for MS?The version I used had to be hacked to allow autotune to function beyond a small "cruise" window of the AFR map. I know it will be with ms fast or aem or others. I also want decent drive ability at that horsepower level and I'm not sure that's possible with smec. But taking it to someone who has been doing this longer than I have with the proper equipment will definitly be better off. And as far as taking it to someone else I know for a fact that I could blow it up right there on the dyno I hope not but there are no guarantees. Also I do want the engine bay clean as well. There's so much less clutter in mine and it's great.My goal for the wiring is to make it as simple as possible that way if something goes wrong it's easier period.

Plus you're going to LOVE having a cleaned up engine bay running your own wiring.

Good thing I borrowed a monster ignition coil instead of buying one or I'd be sitting on that too.

I spent $200 on an MSD box that's just sitting here now when I could have put that towards MS.

I or somebody else who's more knowledgeable probably could have squeezed out more but how much time and money do I throw at something that I just have to upgrade anyways? At some point you just cut your losses and move on to something better. I kind of maxed out the SMEC, single coil, and distributor at 330 hp. That was tuned by someone who "knows." I don't know if it was the tuner or the owner that messed up but either way my customer is now the proud owner of a boat anchor. I had a customer with a 350Z bored and built to a 4.0 and he ended up detonating and burnt a piston. Granted the more experience someone has the less the chances of mistakes are going to happen. Just because you take it to somebody else to tune it doesn't mean things can't go wrong.
