Which is about the time is starts spraying. Maybe I should have had him tune without the juice first

Depends on what you're doing with it. If you're using it as a safegaurd, then yes tune w/o it. If you're using it to add timing, which by looking at your table this is what you're doing, then no you can't. Unless you want to break stuff.

I don't see injector duty cycle on your graph. What is your master fuel set to?

Braineack 09-28-2009 09:06 AM

I mean your ignition timing isn't very aggressive and you're spraying... probably a combination of the two are working against you.

Resolution helps driveability/part throttle fine tuning, not necessarily peak numbers. I could see 50hp from a SAFC fuel tune only to a standalone fuel/timing tune, but 50hp from equally tuned standalones? seriously?

Newer, faster, more precise. 16x5 to 32x32. 5 column load values + slow processor = fail.

These quotes are taken in context

(Just a guess.) That means your spark map in your ECU would have to be set to the lowest common denominator, which may be restrictive to potential.

Attachemnt is Skip Cannon's GT2560r BP4W powered Catherham with 10psi EBC Link vs 11psi MBC Hydra

@Dyno of Skip Cannon's GT2560r BP4W powered Catherham
WOW... Link = EPIC FAIL.

5 rpm points? Ok, you win. On the carb analogy, I bet that car would make more power on carb than the link ;) Processor speed isn't a big issue for power runs since there are only two parametes load and rpm. Didn't consider spark hysteresis. Never knew it was a problem.

Thymer, you're using water only, no meth?

50/50 meth/water

I do have a couple old VW bug carbs laying around... :)

5 MAP points.

I don't see how a power pull would be any less difficult than cruising. Really, it seems like it would be more difficult because it's required to be most precise.

It's never just two parameters. It's got at least 5
MAP, RPM, CLT, AIT, Knock and is probably running all sorts of loops

IE
If CLT < X
Then Fuel * 110%
Else Fuel * 100%

It's also looking for knock, looking for air temp (pulls power if air temp exceeds a set threshold), is running closed loop EBC, looking for neutral and clutch switches, running the keypad. And it's gotta squirt and spark the car. Frankly it's doing all kinds of stuff, and when it was new people were claiming the processor was underpowered.

Needz moar better ecuz.

I'm pretty sure I'm making close to 230whp, maybe more on my t3 60trim at 13psi.

I tell you what... I'll sell you my hydra with my awesome map that got me that same power at half the boost on a smaller turbo and see what it does for you.

Seriously, I'd love to see your EGTs. I bet they are way up in melty valve territory. I dont think it's just the Link though. There's more going on here.

EGT's were pretty low actually, probably from the juice.

I agree, something else is going on here. My first thought was the timing belt but it's dead nuts on, I triple checked. The other thing I thought was weird was how high the torque was.

Can that hydra be upgraded to the newest version?

6.2GPH really is a lot. Like you said, you should tune without injection first since it just adds complexity. At 6.2GPH (390cc) it's likely that the mixture wants to run richer since Meth burns at 6:1 stoich compared to gasolines 14.7:1. If my math is right the mixture (4 injectors 750cc@45% plus one 390cc@50% spraying methane) would be stoich at 13.65AFR and a comparable safe 12:1AFR for boost on gasoline would be 11.13AFR on the gas/meth mixture. Running lean is also likely the reason you cant advance timing without introducing knock.

neogenesis2004 09-28-2009 10:59 AM

Me thinks too much water is killing combustion. You are probably at like a 50% water to fuel ratio. Way over the recommended 25% max.

Also I have another theory that I thought about just now.
Link = failboat
Redskins = failboat
Link = Redskins

Your motor is being run by the Redskin! No wonder is sucks!

This one will twist your fucking mind

Lions = fail
Lions > redskins

Therefor
Redskins<fail
And
Link<fail

I know the Link isn't the best choice out there but it's what I have and after the $$ I put into the engine my budget was running pretty thin. I wasn't expecting 400 hp but I was expecting more than 265, even with the link.

Your proof is flawless. Good job sir.

Not really more precise. How much easier is it to tune WOT than part throttle?

Closed loop is a preset value whereas open loop is a constant battle to find the best value. You have accel/decel afr, throtte deltas, load deltas, pumps, etc.

Either way, it's settled, link sucks.

yes, but i'm not sure what's involved. talk to Jeremy at FM.


I know it can control water injection though. :)
