Gidday mates,
It's been a while, but I've been out DIY tuning with UpRev Osiris Tuner, then testing, and repeating.., and can report a huge improvement on AFR to target tracking - fueling is much much better now. Basically, I've been using the original dyno derived (and eTune tweeked) ROMs as a starting point then logging and tuning the WOT part of the MAF calibration to affect injector duty cycle (leaving timing maps and everything else except a couple of minor things, constant).
The process of tuning on road is a bit of a slow to perfect but exciting one - WOTs in 3rd gear (didn't spin out, crash or blow my engine up ever ) - although you'll note a lowered red line to keep speeds half sensible
Compare the graph below with the AFR av, Target vs RPM graph from eTune3 above a couple of posts back.. AFR is LOADS closer to the Target line now..
There is a sudden drop in AFR at the upper end still, which I think is due to the massive 134% values in the ROM's existing Fuel Compensation map, which I may lower a bit later, but the accuracy is far better now
The middle squiggly line in the above graph is the difference in AFR between the AFR and Target - it is now less than ±1 (see the right hand axis scale -2,-1,0,1,2) and generally within ±0.2 AFR. Ignore the low rpm wobble - thats just the change after suddenly standing on the throttle (and the effects of the violent switch to open loop and the sudden large cam advance I think). The high RPM dip maybe the compensation thing I just mentioned, but basically tracks target all the way. The cal lines are the various tuning attempts (including eTunes) - I've taken best bits from all and combined them to now be running the black line.
Next thing is to adjust compensation then fiddle the K multiplier (and re-do the MAF cal) to stretch the MAF data into a more sensible range (the MAF ADC is 16bit - remodelling means cal is using only the first approx 40k out of 64k, so I should stretch that out again). MAF cal adjustments are really subtle in places - so taking a numerical approach (I'll spare everyone the nerdy process details) has made this a lot easier than simply moving lines by hand in the ROM editor tool
