LSJ E85, VE changes question
I am FINALLY getting into the tune on my LSJ --- I am BRAND NEW to this, and I am following
"The Tuning School"
method.
I have disabled MAF per their instructions, Done a LTFT histo....
basically I logged 2000 - 4000 rpm in second gear, and all the cells were around -50. Their instructions say to paste this value in and "multiply by %"
UM .... 50% change? is that right?
I made the change and flashed it, drove it around and did another LTFT histo. It was really jerky and hard to drive. The cells average -40 now.
so I reduced the values by 50%, and now I'm supposed to reduce them by another 40% ?
this CAN'T be right...can it?

right?
precisely why I'm here...asking questions
this process is new to me, so I don't know what questions to ask until I question them
like my signature says--- trying to load my brain

Just a few things, first of all you probably didn't adjust your stoic ratio. Your car will be running all messed up until you do that on e85. Secondly you probably didn't properly disable your maf. Thirdly, listen to slobalt, your gonna blow up your car. Go back to regular gas until you figure out what you're doing.

I changed the stoich ratio to 9.85 under the fuel tab -> Air Fuel Ratio
possible that the MAF isn't disabled correctly. I followed the directions given, but they certainly aren't LSJ specific.

yes. I've been over there reading tonight. Haven't posted yet.
Also sent a request to The Tuning School, since I paid for a year of tech support with the training material.

if youre getting 50s across the board on your ve table, then you are probably using the default config's histograms. those histos are incorrect for the lsj. you have to set up the histo yourself and not use the default one or find one that is already working on the hpt site.
use pids over sensors, no matter what bs messages the scanner has
i hope you didnt buy the tuning school brand new or even new for over 100$. it is terribly expensive, when there is plenty of info on the hpt and rlf
but the method you describe wouldve been correct if you were logging ltft or stft on the ve table properly
i dont know stoich for e85, but if i were you, id be sure its where you want it to be before playing with maf and ve

Forget VE, run MAF only, set stoich to 10.4, crank base timing at max load to 26, tun maf with afr error pid

Correct, that is stoic, sorry I should have actually corrected myself here. God I wish I remembered exactly why to use 10.40, in an older post I read area said to use that ratio, he gave a reason but for the life of me I can't remember why.
Yay! Thank you there jap

I'm not sure about Texas, but I know up in the colder parts of the country our ethanol content can range anywhere from 70% - 85%. So for me, I would rather test fuel and know exactly the content, and then tune for it accordingly. The range is just too far for my personal liking. E70 stoich is 10.68 and E85 stoich is 9.83, why not just calibrate for the correct fueling? For something like an LNF you can easily get away with something like that, on a narrow band system.... mehh

You could set stoich to 1 if you wanted and still tune the car...
"Correct" stoich is whatever the fuel in your car is.
OP, can you list the filter string of exactly what you are logging on the ve table?

I know japeater knows his stuff, so don't take what I'm saying as he doesn't, I just don't personally agree with not setting a specific stoich to accurately represent the fuel being run. Sorry Vaughn..
