Default Getting Xede working

Alright i'm gathering some parts as i go. Turbo kit should be here soon and i gotta order few more toys before i get to run it, I just got my Xede, I will use this thread to gather stuff on xede. I wish there were more threads on it but there are not :(

I am now reading this Tuning guide for it

any one have any finished maps? stock injectors, 550 injectors, highflow pump.. you name it, i cant find a single map on it but the one i got from Stephanie. The tunning guides seem to have few maps but they seem incomplete so i have yet to see what a working, tuned and finished map for xede looks like.

A tuned and finished map for each car, will look different. A set of maps will consist of anywhere between three to six individual maps. The map I sent you was for stock injectors. For larger injectors, the maps set up are not any different. The contents of the MAF map would be different though, to compensate for the larger injectors.

You can complicate things real fast by integrating the WB O2 and knock sensor buffer. But, even then it is an easy enough process. Simplicity is the beauty of the Xede. Simplicity at 275 whp is even better.

Correct. Send me your current working map, and I will add the wideband O2 map.

alright so main problem. Sometimes it idles at 14-15 af, sometimes it idles at about 10 af and sometimes it dies when i let off the gas and let it go down to idle such as at a stop light.. why is that? (warmed up)

here is my current map and i have not edited it within the high rpms and high loads especially in the black.

bump any one have any idea why my crap floods when i let off the gas at about 2-3k rpm?

Also for some reason my a/f idle ratio jumps up to 17-18 once in a while.. wtf :(

for some reason even when i step on the gas quite a bit the load wont go up past 30..

If i step on it easily it runs at 10-11 af but load is still under 30

as soon as it starts going into boost the af starts going up

here is my current map and still i have not figured out why if i let go of the gas at over 1500 rpm it tries to die (75% of the times it dies after looping around at 400rpm for a second or two) when it slows down to idle speed.

i'm starting to loose hope on this damn thing and now looking forward to buying a standalone.

If i have to have a shop tune the xede since i cant figure out and the ones near here dont have any idea how to work with it so the guy said they will need to learn it on my time...> 200 bucks an hr should add up pretty quick...

If i'm going to spend the money on the shop i'm better off buying a standalone and have them tune that.

Same price as i bought it...$650

nope i ended up selling it. Stephanie says i should have gotten new 450 or 550 injectors. That should have solved my problem however the reason why i didnt is because once in a while i'd get 18:1 at idle and then it would float jump around between 12 and 18 for half a minute. That was no good for me. my 2c on that was bad ground or something. I wanted something that i can control solid. Thats the reason why i currently have a adaptronic sitting in my room waiting to be installed while my turbo is running with an open WG to prevent spool.
