track prep

im hoping to be! the weather looks like it will be nice!

I hope the weather cooperates - low da and no headwind would be nice for a change.  I am planning to go and so is another SHO owner from the twin cities, I believe.

Hell yeah scoles,post a log up...be more than happy to see whats going on and see if i can offer any insight

Make sure your config to log at least has actual throttle angle, map, desired tip, wastegate duty, fuel rear pressure desired and actual and maybe fuel low pressure actual and desired , and knock sensor and spark and torque source and iat2 and load and load absolute....rpm also. that should be good for diagnosing power...seems like a lot but not for diagnosing problems

AJ, don't help him too much.  If we meet up at the track, I want to have a fighting chance against him!

Lol ...it just makes me curious...if i had to guess id say low boost and or low timing.....if the boost is there and the timing id there then it should run

Perhaps a driver mod is required lol

I can do that! One problem I had when data logging with Torrie is that my sct for whatever reason would only let me log so many pids so Torrie had to make a custom configuration. But it told him everything he needed so I'm sure it includes what you listed. Otherwise I'll make a new one.

You going brucelinc?

I am still getting use to this car so a driver mod is indeed a possibility but I ran pretty consistant times. I think I've seen up to 18 psi of boost on the sct before

Are you trying to log without a laptop?

[scoles92]

correct. I've been using the sct then transferring it to a desktop then emailing it on its way. I actually don't have a laptop at the moment.

Ok, that explains a lot.

The X4 works much better as a passthru to a laptop than it does a stand alone logger.

I made the same mistake early on with the old car.

This is probably why your tune isn't very hot as Torrie doesn't have all the required parameters to crank up the power safely.

Try to get a hold of a laptop so you can use a full config file.

[scoles92]

I'll do that. Thanks for the info!

Here's a good place to find inexpensive high quality laptops.

I wonder if you can load a config to the x4 then download it later?...i think you can load 30 some pids with livelink but i try and only load what i need for whatever im focusing on at the moment

Its a pain having the laptop in the car but im so used to it...when u select your items you can change the units to fahrenheit also...try and make sure the items i listed are in your config...if not u can add them to what torrie sent you...i know some will be there but not sure if torries config will have them all....some of the items may be telling

[FoMoCoSHO]

I don't think it matters once you get to around 10 pids it doesn't have the processing power and resolution drops, at least that was my experience.
