looking for Tuning help and suggestions

[TURBOPOWERED68]

New battery is in.
hopefully next week i'll have some time to test everything again.   

[TURBOPOWERED68]

up date and changes.
Wide band -- logging
Fuel pressure logging
Translater and LS1 Maf

took the car out for spin today.
it felt real good.
these are the PL files.

It's always nice to know what chip, and what wb so we can set PL up correctly in order to be able to make sense of the logs

[TURBOPOWERED68]

PowerLogger settings
Wideband - AEM Gauge 0/5
Anolog 4 - Pressure 100 PSI = fuel sensor
the sensor is slightly off - i need to retest the base pressure with a second known good gauge before i calibrate the PowerLogger. on my Fuel rail gauge (was tested about a year ago and it was accurate) it reads 43 at idle with the vacuum line OFF.   

TT 5.7 Chip 93+ALKY
42.5 injectors
LS1 MAF
Translater set to on-on-on-off   MAF base 0 and WOT -0

were you spraying alky?

[TURBOPOWERED68]

were you spraying alky?

Yes, Julio's Kit Set to 5

that explains why it is so rich at only 19# of boost, then.

I have not had time to look at all the logs, but, it was way lean at idle and part throttle...I will look at the others in a bit

[Steve Wood]

Okay, log 5 had a very strange spot in it...shows to be running 98 mph at part throttle, low boost, and 6000+ rpm.  And, it did this extremely rapidly from where it started.  this does not compute to me.

further in the run, you went to 25# of boost, the a/f was pretty close as far as I am concerned and the run looked good.

Right now, the idle needs to be fixed as it is way lean...should be about 13.5 on the AF and 780-800 on the O2.  If you have some kinda cam in it, it may idle best a little richer...say about 13.0-1 and .800

Part throttle runs under boost are the hardest to evaluate because the throttle is not very far open, and the turbo is trying to shove air thru it anyway.  This really stresses the chips ability to get the fueling fixed.

Looks like you got the voltage fixed.

What cam is in the car?  Wondering about the rpm I was seeing in a couple of places.

Also what fuel pump did you put in it and did you check the fuel pressure with an accurate gauge afterward?

[Steve Wood]

gonna look at log 5 again to look at fuel pressure, etc that I forgot to look at...damn windows is updating...

[Steve Wood]

Okay, I am totally confused...at 17 psi, I see a maf reading of 256....sounds right.

At 26 psi of boost, I see a maf reading of 190 g/s

That does not compute.

Also, on log 5, there is no fuel pressure readings....so mething came loose.

Along with the screwy readings, I saw earlier in 5, it makes me wonder if the PL is making good contact...got me

post #46 are the new files with the wideband and fuel logging.

the other files are the old ones.

The voltage thing was band-aided with a Reds Volt Booster.

[Steve Wood]

ah, #5 slipped in....cause it was next to the others in the folder....

Well, it's rich at idle, anyway

Red's volt booster was famous for burning up alternators, as I recall.  Let me know when you have the basics sorted out and I will pay attention again

thank you

I am sure you also know that Julio says no volt boosters should be used with his kits and that there is a mod that should be made when using his kit with a Translator to prevent interference.

Yes i am aware that Julio Recommends that a Volt Booster Should NOT be used as it will change the flow characteristic s of the system.
I am also aware that many guys DO use Julio's Kit and a Volt Booster with success, they do say that it requires a bit MORE tuning of the ALKY controller to adjust for the Voltage spike.

What i did notice is that on my "5-23-2012 2.dat" PL file the Voltage never went above  14.5 .
Now what is considered to be normal Voltage with OUT a Volt Booster?
I have seen and heard of guys seeing upwards of 15 Volts when using a volt booster ?
I know that at this point i am a certified idiot but with only spiking the Voltage to 14.5 it Should not be a bill deal compared to some one seen 15-16 Volts.

on the Translater i never heard anything about it causing and interference or needing a MOD when being used with an ALKY system.
i'll call or Email the horse today to confirm this.   
As i said many times
Thank you for taking your time and educating me.
especially since it seems that i am trying to do things as backwards on purpose.
