I was wondering if I could get some opinions of the map that I'm currently running. Here's my list of relavent mods, I'm currently running 12 lbs of boost. It is also very hot and arrid in Vegas, I know that has some effect on tuning. Thanks.

Street-ported motor (2mm)
stock twins running sequential
Mazdatrix aluminum flywheel
Greddy intake
Stock 550/850 injectors
Supra TT fuel pump
ASP Medium IC
downpipe
resonated MP
Racing Beat CB

 

Ported engine with more timing advance than a stock engine = KaBoom!!!!!!!

 

That's what I was afraid of. My friend Mike (Xblazinlv) told me the same thing. This map was sent to me by Chris at RP. What the hell!?!?! Mike was telling me the numbers were clearly wrong in the 8000rpm area, are they advanced throughout the map? Chuck, what should I do, there aren't any tuners in Vegas?

 

How much did Chris charge you, you do not have to answer.
If you have a DL, do a compare of it to the stock map and other maps.
It also has more mid range timing than my old non-seq stock map.

I sell a starter map (stock to street port engines on street gas) with a copy of my tuning guide for $75.

 

Not a bad price Chuck, I just want your tuning notes lol. How much do you sell those for
?


Scott,

We'll play with your map this coming weekend. I'll modify the one Chuck helped me create for my ported motor to take out some of the timing since you are still sequential in the lower RPM areas.

I think I finally figured out what my problem on the dyno was too, my boost wasn't hitting full boost until red line. I think I need to play with my gain settings on the controller or I have a boost leak.

Anywho, check your PMs, I replied to your last one.

How does this look for his car now? I basically took my map (which is a version of Chuck's 350 twins map for non-sequential but for my ported motor) and took the extra timing out down low where you'll make boost sequentially and we won't running non-sequential.

I'd like to load this into Scott's car later today, if you guys think it is ok:

 

It is OK to start with but with a stock map sensor, I would redo the PIM setting 3 map .

 

Chuck,


I'm going to use the same settings I have in my dat file, the one I posted was just an edit of what they sent him in the IGL and IGT only.

I'll be sure to make the other appropriate changes to the entire dat file before we load it in.

 

Um.....also, I just took another look at the map Scott posted originally.


It looks like it is the Base Stock map that came with the old PowerFC before they sent out the base mod map in the newer version. Interesting, look for yourself:

It's identical

 

Well ok it isn't identical, looks like they took care of the negative split, but other than that it is the exact same map, minus changes to the split and IGT settings.

 

It's does look extremely similar if not identical. RP, tiss tiss! As long as I fix it, that's all that matters.

Edit: I can't compare right now, no FC-Edit on this computer.

 

I have never tuned a car but have done a lot of reading there is a lot of timing on his Ignition Leading Map looks the same as a base map pretty much they just changed the timing near to the end and the ignition trailing map if you look at the timing in the down right corner it jumps around in a few area's, just my .02 did you pay for this map? do you watch your knock levels?

 

This timing map was much too advanced for my setup. Mike (Xblazinlv) and I went over it and basically retuned the map and I works pretty well. We did a couple WOT runs on the freeway and logged it with my Datalogit, and my knock was almost non-existant. We used a modified version of Chuck's non-seq map for my seq setup.
