ok well ive began making up a kit for the 2.4 for a custom turbo setup...and i have an idea of most of the parts i will be using....the major question here that will determine wether or not i go on with this project is the tuning....i dont know much about tuning...so where the hell do i begin?....im not saying please tell me exactly how to do it...im just trying to figure what to to do and where to begin.....lets make this an informative thread that will hopefully help alot of people out...including myself

 

well most people will say HPTuners

 

lol i know that...im saying where do i begin on hptuners....i know there are people out there who kno wplenty on this topic....please contribute some information and help a fellow ccss.net brotha out

 

there is a huge section on the hpt forums. how to's, and a bunch of write ups on ways to "tune" your car

 

talk to Witt on here, he's already done this.

 

i have...he gave me a few pointers that im following up on but i still want to learn more about tuning for boost...like the basics...where to begin and stuff like that

i was reading and i saw a couple of things....would i have to fake a 2bar map?...i saw that somewhere but i cant remeber where

 

ok well my plans are to push about 350hp roughly out of this turbo setup....so i begin with dynamic airflow...what does disabling this accomplish?.....then i move on to the injectors....which im feeling maybe 42lb injectors or something of the sort....the wideband i already know about....and what does disabling torque management accomplish?

 

I think you would start in the PE tables and then the MAF tables. You have noway to tune in the VE as of now.

 

would i benefit to shut the ve tables off and force the comp. to use maf/map?

i havent bought hptuners yet...im just trying to decide wether or not to buy hptuners or find someone with it to tune my car for boost....if it is easy enough i will just buy the hptuners myself and do the tuning myself....just trying to get an idea of what im getting into before i actually get into it

 

From what I gathers from what Witt told me "set dynamic airflow to trust only MAF, that way it operates similar to an LSJ and would only use VE in case of MAF failure." Now how thats done is beyond me, I think you have to set the MAf value to a low value so that is never turns on.

 

are you yourself planning on boosting you ion?j/c.....as to what witt said...thats what ive been told before so it must work...it would be nice if i could find something that would take this more in depth(shutting off VE)

 

You wouldn't be able to fake a 2 bar because your comptuer is MAF based meaning it doesn't calculate fuel maps according to manifold pressure like a MAP based computer system would. You calculate fuel tables according to the amount of air that is being drawn into the engine or should I say pass the wire on the MAF. According to the temperature of the wire, it will send upwards of 5 volts to the computer to express how much air is coming through.

If you had a J-body for example that is MAP based (Alpha-N), then this would be something you would attempt to do.

 

ok well that makes sense then.....what would forcing the comp. to run off of the maf instead of off the ve tables?

 

Is that what was suggested? Just asking.

 

yea thst what i was suggested to do...but i dunno if thtat would work

 

I want to make a comment but I honestly can't because I've never used HP Tuners.
