Hello everybody,
I recently got ECMlink along with a small 16g installed. The logs attached are after the first adjustment and the second adjustment. I am tuning for idle and cruise and will move on to WOT after I get these dialed in. Any advise/suggestion is welcome seeing as I am just learning how to tune with link. A couple of things to note, where I live (Alaska), I can only get 90octane, so that will affect my tune down the line, but for now it is an additional piece of information. Car specs:
1991 Eagle Talon
Engine has 10k since rebuild
Compression: 165, 164, 167, 167
Leakdown test: 90psi in and all cylinders came back at around 88psi
Fixed the leaks that I could find via a BLT
ECMLink V3
MAF: 2G (unmodified)
Turbo: Small 16g
FMIC: VRSF
Boost pressure: stock wastegate ~ 8-10psi.
Mechanical timing: verified (car has been driving without link for a while)
Compression ratio: Stock 1g
Engine sensors: stock 1g sensors with the exception of the ones mentioned below
Alternator: Saturn 90Amp
Base timing: 5*
Spark Plugs: Gapped to .028
Injectors: Evo8 560cc
Fuel pump: Walbro 190 (rewired)
AFPR: Fuelab set to 37psi
Wideband: Innovate LC-2
Exhaust manifold: 2g ported
Global fuel: -22%
Injector Dead time: 0
Thanks once again for all the help.
P.S. Coolant temperature is high for my liking, but I am experimenting with the ducting. I initially had the FMIC directly ducted to the radiator, but my temps never went below 200*. Second set of logs show me adding a lip at the bottom of the ducting to pick up air from under the car, but it didn't work well. I think it is because the lip was not long enough to stick out far enough to pick up air. Added a section of material to it and will try it again tomorrow.
