Re: beaterX project thread

1680's installed. Physical install was a cinch, took maybe 20 minutes; the fuel rail is right on top/front on the X so this was completely painless.

Initial settings I had from the guy I got them from didn't work worth a crap, the car idled at 8:1 and sputtered and died. Tried some more settings published on evoM with again, no luck. Then I realized that mrfred had posted some values from a car he had done with a cobb AP.

2.625
1.395
0.825
0.660
0.600
0.555
0.540

he posted E85 scaling: 943
Pump scaling I guessed, ~1.3*943: 1329

Last summer tephra figured out that the original algorithm used to display latencies and I could apply that and use mrfred's values for the cobb car. (link: http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-x-e...hm-change.html) Still no luck. Car starts and runs good for a few secs above 2000 then as soon as it goes below 1500 it just goes pig pig rich again.

My logger is goofed up for some reason, but I'm thinking that the ecu simply won't drop pulsewidth low enough, so I applied tephra's minimum IPW hack:

Dropped MinimumIPW down one notch from .040 to .032. flash, start car, bam, fukin starts perfect, revs to 2000-3000 w/o any stumbling or issues, and it idles like a champ. Took the car around the 'block', initial short-term fuel trims look fine so I give it a few brief wot runs, just around 4000, into a little boost to check afrs.

Sad news, wideband in the car is flatlined at 0v again. No knock on the wot runs though, so I guess I'll just be driving around nicely and checking fuel trims until I get a new sensor.

*edit* hit the recalibrate button for the LC-1 and it's come back to life. I'll be testing this setup a bit until the tank is dry....then it's time to sell my soul to the corn gods :P
