Tuning Help

[konigtalon]

Ok so I finally got the car home from the mechanic and im getting ready to install my bigger injectors. My setup is evo3 16g turbo, 680cc injectors, act2600 clutch and light weight flywheel and crank pulley, apexi safcII, boost gauge, hallman mbc, datalogger, 190 walbro fuel pump, front mount, 2.5 inch exhaust from the 02 housing back, and intake. I really need some advaice on how to tune with the datalogger and safcII. I was hoping somone with this setup or somthing similiar would step in take a look and give me some straight forward advice on how to tune with the datalogger and safcII!! Like what to log for I know fuel trims but like how to do it because I have never tuned with a logger and safc before I just need somebody to help me start out. Please help me out guys like the basics and how to get it close enough to have a fun daily driver that will remain dependable. Also what are some suggestions on what I sholuld set the boost at with this setup.

i've got a question. I tried doing the first step with mine as I dont have a logger so I cant do anything else yet to see if it would help with the problems im having. My SAFC wont let me set the NePoints that far apart. Mine goes 1k, 2k, 3, 3800, 4200, 4800, 5200, and so on. So how do I set them at 3k, 4k, 5k, 6k, etc?

I wouldn't go any further until you get a logger. You won't have anyway of telling what is going on inside the motor until you get one and you definately do not need to tune the car until then.

There is a way to set the NePoints on the AFC but I can't recall. It is definately in the manual if you still have it. If you don't let me know. I believe that I still have mine in the garage somewhere.

I know how to set them. I think. You go to 2.Settings then NePoint. Mine just wont set to those numbers. I'm not trying to tune it or go any farther then that. I just needed something to do so I figured i'd set the SAFC up for when the logger gets here.

Those recommendations aren't set in stone and can be adjusted based on how your car reacts. Personally, I like to have more points in the area where my turbo spools because that is the most likely place for it to knock.
