Whats the correct PID for throttle position and whats the one to log boost

for boost i tried BARO sensor and Barometric Pressure SAE

 

I don't know the answer to your question, but I know Baro and Baro SAE are not correct. The Baro sensor is just that, an ambient atmosphere barometric sensor that makes corrections to AFR based on Baro SAE.

Look for something like MAP or BAR.

 

well i have map logging right now and tried setting up a user defined PID

 

That should be giving you your boost stuff. TPS is throttle position switch.

 

Throttle is ETC%

Boost you have to make a custom PID if you want it to read in lbs.

 

got it finally got it to work and it matches the map values wahoo! its quite a work of art

 

Desired ETC % is the new TPS PID basically for ETC vehicle.

As for reading boost yeah just log map then make a custom PID of map in psi-14.5=boost.

 

Thats not entirly accurate. Depending on alititude, the atmosphereic pressure may be more or less than 14.5. I'm at 1208 ft altitude and atmosphereic pressure is 13.96 psi.

 

I seem to have the Boost reading now by creating a custom PID with the map in PSI -14.7 and the psi matches is there some way I can get this more accurate?

I saw one of the PIDs was monitoring barometric pressure and it was like 14.18 or something so to get a more accurate reading i could do like say [PID.(map).IMP]-[whatever the right one for barometric pressure is] for a more correct reading

 

Make the PID, using the MAP sensor and subtract the baro reading.

 

which baro reading BARO sensor or Barometric Pressure SAE

 

Are the two sensors giving different readings?

 

boost is [SENS.30.IMP]-14.7

ETC is ETC POSITION

 

Right now im using [PID.11.IMP]-14.7 is there a difference?
Looks like I got the TPS right now, is it normal that it almost never says 0 and usually says like 11% at idle

 

yes, because you don't have an iac, the computer controls the throttle blade to maintain idle.

 

BTW those two calcs are basically the same, HPT usually recommends using the SEN though rather then the PID

 

I can forsee a lot of questions on my part when I finally get HPTuners.... I hope this stuff is easier than it appears when I finally get it.

 

Thats when the real questions start

 

****!

 

i tried using the sensor reading first but it didnt seem to work

 

Na dude, once you get around the learning curve you start unlocking the power like crazy! Took me about a week to get it all figured out (hours of tuning a day) once I did my car was scary fast and getting scarier everytime I tuned it!!!

 

Cool. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

Sorry for interrupting the thread by the way. What is a PID? This stuff is starting to confuse me.

 

... you know now that I think of it, I don't know what PID stands for! Oh well

 

I honestly don't think there is a clear-cut answer to "what is a PID" where P, I, and D = something that makes sense. I just know it as a parameter to be listed in the table (a location for data to be seen).

 

proportional-integral-derivative=PID not many people know it but thats ok.
