Appreciate your in depth videos on tuning topics both MAF and SD !! Keep up the great work.

I've KZread so many videos, finnaly someone who's audio is clear and you explain things very well. Done remote tuning and having issues, done a local tune and cars worse. Have a CTS V with cam, pulleys ect. time to learn and make adjustments myself. Thanks for taking the time for this.

So happy I stumbled across your channel! Learning how tuning works and you explain it well!

Thanks! Once I finally found out how to get my wideband to read and compare against this video was perfect for getting it setup. A few more runs and then off to the VVE table.

Thank you so much! Because of your videos i was able to buy my own hp tuners and ditch the email tune that i had for my cai and intake manifold modifications on my 16 mustang, i was confused about maf/period but i realized its the same as freq! I will be getting long tube headers soon and cant wait! Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks for making these videos. You do a good job explaining all this.

Thanks alot. Ive been looking for more direct videos for some time now and finally found this one. Cut out all of the clutter talk and get straight to the good stuff! Thanks again

Great series! I'm just getting started (just got my HPTuner device 2 days ago). I really appreciate that your videos are doing a great jot of both explaining why and showing how. Both are what I need to see. Also, I do like the format of splitting up the How and Why videos so it will be easier to come back for reference later. Luckily I have some time before my project is running to learn as much as I can before I try to apply it.

thank you so much for this, it has been my long time dream of becoming a reputable tuner. so far i have learnt how to tune hondas and with your help im sure i will be able to tune much more. thank you

I have been helped so many times by this community started by Kyle. Thank you Kyle! I am having an issue with my 6.0 LS/TR6060 69 c10. I am tuning and just made my step9 file and was happy with it enough to be done. As soon as I put all settings back to normal just like in this video and fired it up, it was way rich up top (like .72lambda when it should be .82 in PE up top). It was also off at idle and cruising around even. STFT and LTFT was adding anywhere from 10-20% even though I had everything MAF tuned to a very happy place.

Man I’m so glad I found these videos you have no idea! Found them when I bought my wideband and KZreadd. I don’t have pro but I have an MPVI2 so I bought all the stuff you listed for your setup and already had the AEM X in order. Excited to get the most out of my car!

Excellent video! Thanks for showing how to setup the logging tables. I also appreciate your playlists on the different generations of GM computers, GEN III & IV etc.

Great set of How to's - I have a C4 vet that Frankenstein's monster would be scared of with an LS2 and 6L80 and this logical process is just great, one subject per item is clear and easy to follow. I've done the MAF over the weekend and next is Speed density. You have taken from the black box of worry to something I don't mind working my way through. Many thanks for putting this up and taking the time.

Thanks a ton for the series. Just recently decided to learn to tune. I have been stuck on some very simple things, you have explained where I can understand what you are actually doing and why. Not just "do this...why? because..." You helped me gain momentum to keep moving forward and not stay stuck on my frustrations. Can't thank you enough.

I don't know of any tuners locally that I would trust and that's why I got HP tuners in the first place.

Thanks for the videos, great stuff. Learning tuning to help modify my supercharged LS3 so I don't have to drive an hour and pay a ton at the tuners.

lambda is simple its just percentage 1.0=14.7 afr gas .9=13.23 ie richer .8=11.76 even richer then the opposite is true also 1.1=16.17 and so on if you follow if you have a 1.1 you are lean need to add 10% more fuel if you are .9 you need to remove 10% fuel in those blocks just remember you are measuring oxygen not fuel! more oxygen makes more pieces ! ie way too lean. hope this helps

Can you log maf error in any gear? I’m trying to get my curve dialed in but I keep ending up with a lumpy frequency chart. Unfortunately I’ve only been able to do redline pulls in first gear due to where I live. I can do some smoothing but a re-log just wants to correct it. I have my ve dialed in plus stft and ltft’s and any other fuel modifiers turned off. I’m also running the stock airbox with an aftermarket filter.

ABT! Always be tuning!

Thanks so much for making all these videos! Ive been watching them over and over getting ready to start tunning my G8 gt. I got everything ready to go except I cant set my o2 voltage to negative like in your video. Is there another way I can force it into open loop?

I'm new to tuning and your videos are great, but dam you go through it fast. Do you have a slower step by step videos!!! THANK you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge

I'm learning a lot

Great series of videos! Your presentation style is great--easy to listen to and very confident in your statements. I'm a noob to HPT but long-time user of the aftermarket efi systems. Currently running an E67 on an LS3 crate engine with a roots blower in a '67 Impala. My question related to this video is what is defining the Lambda/EQR/AFR target? This process is training the ECU to determine how much air mass is actually making it into the engine based on the math it's doing to calculate EQR from the air and fuel flow (calculated) values. Is there a table that defines the target EQR? I see reference to a PE modifier--is that a separate table that is used to modify the stoich value based on RPM and load? In other words, how does one change the target EQR? I'm on video 4.1 so I'd be happy if you point me to a video in your library where you discuss this. THANKS!

hey, LOVE the videos, they make a lot of sense out of something that can be overwhelming. i have a procharged g8 gt that i have just started working on my initial tune for. my question is i have a new ls3/ls7 maf sensor and 4 inch pipe for it to go into, should i start off with running through the initial tune using my tuning school books and then go throgh the MAF tuning and scaling?

@GoatRopeGarage

5 жыл бұрын

Honestly, it doesn't matter, but I'd probably button up my SD tune first since it can act as a fall back should something happen to the MAF. Once you have your SD time pretty good then work on rescaling your MAF.

Any advice on how to would be greatly appreciated sir. You have some great informative videos but I didn't have all those options and I'm wanting to learn to tune my 04 cammed silverado. I done all the work to it myself and wanna dabble with the tuning aspect of it

Hey bud great video

At about 8:30 in the video you said that we need to change the EQ ratio sensor to our mass airflow sensor. When you went to change your variable you selected EQ Ratio and not mass air. I am a little confused by that. Could you explain some. Thank you so much for your time and dedication!

I appreciate the time you put into making these videos. I'm just now starting to tune my 08 Denali with the L92 6.2. the deck and heads have been milled .006, and the block has been bored .020. I'm running a GPI Cam, 216/223 .550 113+8. I have an Arid Jr intake. I have bumped up the idle to 800 and it idles fine there with a nice subtle lope. Cold starts are perfect but hot starts need a little throttle input. I bumped up the cranking timing 5deg and it starts great now. Now comes the MAF scaling, I wish I could just find a good graph to copy in but it seems that a wideband kit will need to be picked up before that happens. I wish the actual EQ ratio could be read. Any thoughts to making a small increase to the MAF chart before I get a chance to dial it in? Thank you!

When im going to ad the eq from my AEM 30-4110 I can choose from 8 options. 12 WB EQ Ratio 1 to ratio 8. Does anyone know which one i should have. at 7:40 in the video

Thank you for making this video. This is super helpful as I am completely new to tuning. I have a quick question. I have AEM 30-0334 x series wb and MPVI II. I dont have Serial to USB set up. I was reading online and since AEM WB cable hooks up to OBD II port I can use WB EQ Ratio 1 sensor under Oxygen Sensors to add a channel in HP Tuners. Is that a good sensor to read off of or do I still need to have serial to usb set up? Also if using WB EQ Ratio 1 sensor is ok, can I use AEM 30 - 4110 under equivalence ratio in oxygen sensor while editing variable in user math? Do I need to keep O2 sensor voltage as is and not change to -ve with this set up? Apologies if this is not a logical question. Trying to understand if I can use AEM OBD II plug and MPVI II to read this EQ error.

Love the vids mate I rewatch then crap out of them lol tuning aggressive cam ls1 and I’m new jeeeez not easy, how do u hit all the ranges of the maf, I can only get between idle and 7000 hz

First of all, thank you so much for all that you do!!! Sometimes it’s difficult for me to see the data flow direction. Is it correct to say the MAF sends a frequency value to the PCM, then the PCM looks to the table to get the corresponding airflow amount?

Great stuff! My son built my 6.0 and programmed (and since tweaked) my tune using his HP Tuner. I need more programming done but he lives 150 miles away...sooo I bought the 2+ and it is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I am having idle issues and have to wait about 20 seconds on a cold start before I can shift into reverse without it dyeing. I figured I would do a download and see what the settings are and go from there. Also, can you recommend a wide band? I see you are using the AEM X series 30-4110 EUGO. Are you happy with its performance or do you have a recommendation. Thank you again for the efforts you put forth to help others Dan

Thank you for these videos, they are awesome and I am learning a lot. However i am a little stuck. I'm using the mpvi2 with the pro feature and I'm trying to log the MAF table like in the video, followed the steps to the T for setting up the PIDs and the tune file to force it into MAF. I have 2 issues that i cant figure out. Truck is a gen4 5.3 a4 with the e38 ecm 1. How do i disable my o2s? i don't have the same option to make the o2 voltage a negative. I'm given a button to press for o2 readiness ECT which opens to a table not a voltage value to change. 2. When i try to log the MAF error table we create, no cells begin to hit or fill up. Did i miss a step or a setting? Is is because of the o2 setting as stated above? Reason for all this is I installed a new 102mm tb and ported the tb opening a little for a smoother transition. The truck runs decent off the original tune however i have a slight lope at idle and I can tell its running a tad lean due to a plug reading and confirmation from the WideBand. I went through a TB relearn 3 times thinking that was it with no change. Again truck is a gen 4 5.3 a4 long tubes, catless y pipe, exhaust, CAI and now the 102mm tb and a port matched tb inlet on the manifold side. Thanks for any help!

Thank you for the videos, I’m learning this as I type. But I’ve noticed that some of the tabs you’re using aren’t available in my VCM editor and I’m using advanced. Gen 3 5.3 LM7

How would you do this with connecting your wideband through the egr or ac circuit?

Just got into tuning and I want to say I really like these series that you are making on tuning. It really has helped me to understand how to tune my truck but also you have explain why we are changing things that is my biggest thing is I want to know why and how the changes are affecting the truck. This is helping me tune my 2013 Silverado. My question for you is do you know anyone on here that is really good at explaining diesel tuning because I have two Duramaxs as well. Or does taking the steps in the series work with diesels too?

Thank you so much for creating these videos brother! im having an issue where using a aem wideband thru serial-usb, as soon as i start scanning the vehicle, the channel completely disappears from my list. any ideas?

thanks for you alooot

How do you log using the aem wideband you have listed? Does it require mpvi2 pro or how would you set it up on an older gm without can bus logging

Awesome channel man I appreciate the help! I was a bit intimidated using the MPVI2 on my 06 GTO but you help make it possible! I'm gonna take it slow and careful so I appreciate any recommendations you can suggest in regards to a 06 GTO with K&N Intake. Keep up the great videos chief!

Really informative. MPVI2 pro. using NGK NTK AFR sensor. This sensor is not listed in the available options to get an EQ ratio, only NGK option is AFX. The parameters for these sensors looks different. Not sure how to set the ratio up?

I have been following along with this tutorial, and keep getting issues with the car being lean at idle. Got it dialed in at idle, somewhat, and I'm just not seeing the results I'm after... I added a turbo to my 1.8l Chevy Cruze. MAF is before the turbo. Should I consider speed density tuning? Or could you give me so tips to getting my car actually drivable? It mainly swings lean, but then at times after logging and making adjustments, it goes super rich.

You could try SD tuning and see if that helps, with the MAF before the turbo you're not getting good air temps so try breaking out the IAT and putting it past the turbo and see if it helps

@@GoatRopeGarage Thanks. I appreciate it. What I decided to do, with the help of your videos and advice in them, was to MAF tune the car with the stock airbox. Got that dialed in to within 1 +/_. This evening I took the next step, installed my larger injectors, and low and behold, after watching your injector scaling video, scaled the injector from 30-35 lbs to 60, and adjusted my MPW. Fired right up, was on the rich side, no biggie, and logged 3 drives. Tomorrow I'll continue logging as I make my errands and get the tune dialed in. I'm sure I'm having issues because the section of pipe with the MAF sensor is only 4" long. Perhaps I'll try and add a section in to extend it and see how that works. P.S. I'm a complete tuning newb, and your videos have been a good send. Would you consider a collabe or a testimonial? My personal channel with my car stuff, doesn't have a ton of subs, but my business channel has (Mikey Designs & Silk Screen) 28k subs. So I'm working on growing my car related content... Either way thanks for the content, and I'm going to make this turbo work HUGELY in part because of your tuning videos. Thanks! -Matt

Absolutly love your vids! There has to be a simplier way to add EQ error ratio. Ive made 4 pages of notes so far and not done yet. Absolutly see the value in it but it sure is a complicated process.

I’ve tried to get eq error to log by watching your video many times today but no luck. My aem gauge comes into the computer through the ac pressure switch, 0-5v signal, then goes through math to display on my chart, but in the channels section it is still ac pressure (volts). Do i need to add a wideband channel and transform it to include the ac pressure sensor voltage? Thanks

I know the mopar platform is a little different but would you know if this concept and procedure transfers over to tuning a mopar ecu?

Love the series, don't know if you will personally reply on such and old video but anyone who reads this and knows can answer and it will be appreciated. So from other videos I have seen people say its better to run slightly rich to keep the engine internals cooler and avoid blowing it up. Would you ever tune toward a lambda value for example of 0.9 so your tune is slightly rich? Just getting into tuning so still have alot to learn Thanks

This has been a great video. I know you use the serial port for your inputs. I have the MPVI Pro and the input is only in Voltage. Will I have to do a custom math parameter to build the "EQ ratio error" histogram? Or can you highlight the difference between the serial input vs the MPVI Pro input? Thanks!!

How does this compare to tuning with the VE table? And where do the ECU get the Lambda target values from? Love the speed of the video!

New to HP Tuners. Was going for step 1 to disable dfco, but it looks nothing like what you showed. Under engine/fuel/cutoff, dfco; I have only rpm limits for “in-gear” cutoff (table with rpm limit for selected gear), and decel fuel cutoff “enable etc”. How do I go about disabling dfco? 2017 Camaro ZL1 m6.

Awesome, so I can follow this video and tune any MAF vehicle?

I had got my MAF table pretty spot on but once I turned everything back on it started to show it’s running lean on my wideband

I am have an 03 Tahoe running 12579405 on a P59. It doesn't give me the option to change the O2 readiness voltage to force it into open loop like you did here. I tried forcing it by setting the "Closed Loop Enable Coolant Temp" to way out of reach (+75 in the table) but that didn't seem to work. Any suggestions? Love the video series. You are awesome.

Accidentally added -10 for base spark advance not sure if noticed. You got me this into the videos for me to notice!! So smart! I may need your phone number for tuning help!! Lol! For now i will continue your playlist videos!

Hello, so when I get all this up and going and start logging data I’ll get some cells that have ridiculous numbers in them like 109 lean but it’ll have a ton of hits in that cell. What would be some things to look at that could be causing this problem? Thanks!

Great Videos! If you were to plug in to a brand new completely stock car and compare the MAF table to Lambda would it essentially read 1.0 all the way across? Or is there reasons the manufacturer wouldn't want or need the AFR right at 1.0?
