Bowtie70SS Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I am new to the HP tuners scene. I have version 2.1 and am learning my way around pretty well. I understand the concept of tuning the LTFT's with the MAF disabled to get your VE table in line. However, this is where I kind of lose it...I was told not to disable the MAF since I have a blower (radix). This dosen't make sense to me because I should be running off of the PE table once I hit boost (I changed PE enable to 37% about 3% before I hit boost). I have been logging and changing things in the VE table and my LTFT's are mostly 0 to -3 but this is with the MAF hooked up. Scaling the MAF table affects the fuel trims correct? If my trims are that close do I need to worry about it? I have been looking and just haven't found a good article on scaling the MAF for FI. Thanks.

SinisterSS Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) Yes, changing the MAF table will affect the fuel trims. When in PE mode, the PCM will use the MAF for fueling. To accurately dial in your tune (VE, MAF & PE), you should get a wideband O2 sensor. It's the best $300 performance investment you can make.

Bowtie70SS Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 A wideband is in the works. I am kind of looking for a procedure. If I hit PE mode and the commanded AFR is not equal to the wideband then the MAF would need to be scaled accordingly? There sure is a lot to learn as far as tuning goes, but I think it will be well worth it in the end. Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Why would you scale the maf to fix that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtie70SS Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 It was more of a question...What situation would cause the need to rescale the MAF? I have been pouring over a whole lot of tuning info, but there again what/who do I believe present company excluded. I have a new O2 sensor on order right now, my LTFT's are between 2 and 6 numbers off(difference between the 2) and I have been watching B2 sensor 1 (Bosch) and it dosen't seem to switch near like B1, an original GM one with 60k on it. I'm gonna change it as soon as it comes in so I can tune more. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSS Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Rescaling the MAF is necessary for accuracy's sake, especially with a blower. The wideband is used to dial in the VE in speed density mode. Then renable the MAF and calibrate the MAF. With those things done, what you put for an A:F at WOT will be what is delivered.

.justin. Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Why would you scale the maf to fix that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If he's commanding 12.0 in PE mode at, say, 4400rpms, and he's seeing 12.5, logic would dictate that the MAF calibration is out of calibration by around 4%...
