About to post my first log

[Malenko]

my car needs tuning in a bad way. I want to post a log up but I need to know what you guys expect of it. I have a DSMLink V2 , but what I need to know is, do you guys want me to let the car idle then just cruise around not WOT for 5 min, or do you want me to take a log of a drive to work, or what?

is there a specific amount of time you want or need logged? I can post it up today if you guys let me know what you need to see. Also, I read the beginner guide but Im sure it'll make more sense once I post up a log and you guys tell me what to fix and why.

After looking at your profile, I see no fuel upgrades. If this is true, I don't think you're going to get very far trying to tune (especially running a built 2.3l with a 50 trim).

Make a 3rd gear pull from 2.5k to redline logging, front O2, your wideband O2 (if you have it integrated into DSMlink), timing and RPM.

I would also log coolant temp (CoolTmp) to see where you stand and TPS (ThrotPos) to see if it reaches 100% (or very close) when you're at WOT.

PTE 880cc injectors , just forgot to add to profile (doing that next) Also have an AEM FPR

Wideband is still in the box. The tune on the car is the one I got with the car, but I know it could be much better. I'll go find the log that has this tune save to it and you can let me know whwere to go from there.

Another thing - before you start taking logs and tuning, make sure your base fuel pressure is set, timing is right, and that you have no boost leaks.

 

[Malenko]

timing is good, FP is 43 ish, no boost leaks

 

[snowborder714]

Then get that wideband installed!!

no time or money, hasta wait a few weeks.

[Malenko]

I'm no expert at reading logs (like 2gGSX and spyderturbo007). I'm just starting to learn how to use the program myself. If no one responds within a reasonable amount of time, I'd PM one or both of them and ask their advice.

 

[Malenko]

i was just giving ya a hard time =)

 

[Malenko]

only been a year with no answer, car is running better but, meh not at full potential

 

[snowborder714]

Are you still on the same tune as you were a year ago?

Grab another log and I'll take a look at it.

 

[Malenko]

yeap same tune. I'll make another log after work today but there isnt much difference in my set up since a year ago.
