yes




So took my car out for a little sunday morning test and I think it did pretty good. Still a few bugs to work out but no major knock and afrs not that far off.
So first things first my throttle position was saying 1% so I know I need to correct that. Second Im not getting full throttle approx only 95%. Im running a sheetmetal Intake manifold and the bracket is maxed out and there is still slack in the cable so im going to have to drill and tap the manifold to be able to get the cable tighter. The cable is less than a year old so it should not be streched out. Also my tps volts were at .67 even though yesterday they were .63. Im thinking it has to do with the 1% throttle position, so Ill have to correct that.
But all in all at approx 20psi of boost to 6500rpms this turbo pulls hard!!!
Ill have to add a little global fuel to get my afrs down a little but I think it was pretty good.
This turbo is the new FPHTA68 with the 84mm flow enhancment so no J Pipe.

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Brian

Log looks decent overall.

3rd gear pulls are the best data to make tuning adjustments from, so I'd get in the habit of dialing in your car using a series of 3rd gear pulls, rather than 2nd. You'll just get a better and larger amount of usable data, which is what really matters when making adjustments to the tune.

Your TPS obviously needs to be fixed.

Your target AFRs are way too rich. Go into the OpenLoopMaxOct DA table and adjust the target AFR leaner. I shoot for 11.0:1 on my pump gas tunes. I personally would not go richer that that.

Your WBO2 is tracking around a point lean across the board. You can make a global fuel adjustment, or rescale your SD table. I'd recommend a global fuel adjustment, since the table overall seems to track target AFR fairly well.

Your timing is pretty conservative. There's certainly room to grow there after you get the car dialed in better.

I'd also add some more boost down low. You're not even seeing 15 PSI until 5k RPM. Not sure what boost controller you're running, but I'd strongly recommend swapping over to ECMlink boost control. It's cheap, effective, and most importantly, is wayyyyy more configurable than any manual boost controller: http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/ecmlink-boost-control-with-stock-boost-control-solenoid-bcs.474792/

I actually did another log after this log with a global adjustment and the tps fixed. The targets were close but still needs a little adjustment in the global. Im using a Halman MBC and it was set all the way down. Im going to lean out the open loop table a little bit like you said and possibly add a little timing. Im also turning the boost controller up. Im just waiting on my new valve cover so I can do some more tuning.
Here is my 3rd gear pull. Not to redline but a pretty good pull I think.

AFRs are tracking good. Add timing and boost for more power to taste.
