The world is running out of good people like you. A serious and humble thank you for these videos. The HP community is a great group and unlike any other tuning community and guys like you make it possible for the rest of us. I’m tuning an 09 PPV Tahoe and it’s been an awesome experience seeing this thing come to life. ABT.
I've TH-cam 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.
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.
Dude you are awesome..best tune info on youtube....and i also am greatful that you do not have to use profanity to get your point across...excellent..thank you
Thanks for your hard work in making these videos. I have dialed in my 2010 Camaro SS better than the guy that was paid to do it as a professional!!! Couldn't have done this without the vids.
Will you please make a video on using Lambda and what actually changes in the tune. Maybe a legit lambda for beginners? Love the content this is by far the best tuning channel on youtube!
Agree, love the content, would also like to see a video explaining lambda vs afr and how to properly implement it for using pump gas with meth injection. That being said im a newb when it comes to tuning but have solid background in diagnostics and scanner work so I do have an advantage over many and so far I've been able to understand most of your "lessons" the 1st go around. For anybody else, follow the playlist and re-watch episodes without disturbances as you'll need to focus! Good stuff here brother!
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
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.
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.
Man I’m so glad I found these videos you have no idea! Found them when I bought my wideband and TH-camd. 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!
Great step by step , no fumbling around and babbling about off topic stuff like other videos! I like how you suggest “ yours may be a little different so be aware of this or that “ be using more of your vids for gen4 tuning and scanner set up !
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.
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! 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 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
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 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
@@GoatRopeGarage I have Question. You copy and paste the MAF table info into the histogram on the scanner. After logging and collecting the data, you then copy that, and paste special by half back in the MAF table in the editor. You say to rinse and repeat, and my question is, do you then copy that new MAF table and paste it back over in the editor again before running another log?
It's not a new table but an error table that is calculating the error between what is calling for and what it's seeing so you keep working on it until you get closer to 0% error. I normally shoot in the 3% +- range on the maf
@@GoatRopeGarage I meant, do you paste the new MAF table info back into the scanner, not the editor. But yes, the error table that was made from the start. Is that changed with every log scan? And thank you for the reply man. I really do appreciate it a lot. I'm preparing to do a tune on my Firebird that I did some crazy mods to lol
I’m trying to watch enough videos to understand how this thing works before I start and I found this very interesting and I’m looking forward to using my HP tuner thank you
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!
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. Just a heads up, when you went to remove 5 degrees of timing you clicked twice so it ended up removing 10. Thanks again for the awesome videos, I'm learning a lot!
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.
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.
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.
Goat Rope Garage came back to rewatch this video and noticed that, somehow, I had hit the *thumb down* button. Very sorry, and don't know how that happened. I corrected it, *thumb up* of course! You make excellent vids man! THANKS!
Definitely prefer a very thorough and specific type of video content. One that explains in deep detail. Cant help but think most of your viewers would be people that would benefit from that and it never hurts to beat the same vital information through over and over and over. Really ingrain this all in the memory banks🤷♂️😅😅
Thanks for the video. I have just a whole mess of sensors, and various year engine and computers that was never in a factory vehicle together so getting everything zeroed in is what I'm trying to do now. I don't know of any tuners locally that I would trust and that's why I got HP tuners in the first place.
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!
I dont have any of these parameters we are changing, i have a p01 from a 2000 silverado, i dont have o2 readiness voltage or the wb? Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks for your time and effort into making my life a hell of alot easier, your knowledge and training capabilities have helped a first time tuner get the shopping trolley running after new cam, wideband addition etc, bloody legend! Any pointers into running dual FBW Throttle Bodies utilising an E38 ecu 6.0 project 1937 Chevy pickup from Australia (not quite running yet) just looking to get some sort of base tune down, and anything else i should try. Thanks, Carl
Ok so I know this is an old video but this works with the mpvi3 right? Or is there different stuff you gotta do? Great video by the way it really helps when you actually explain whats going on 👍
I won a unicorn, one owner, first Gen 2003 Ford Focus. I have replaced the 1 5/8” header and complete exhaust with a 2.5” performance header and exhaust. Deleted the CAT. Installed a 2.5” x 12” long Flowmaster 40 muffler and a 2.5” x 12” long resonator. Complete K&N cold air intake kit. Upgraded the entire suspension leaving it at stock height. Lighter aluminum Koenig wheels and mounted Continental Road and Track tires on the wheels. I made the mistake of purchasing the Thornton Stage 3 tune and app/software. Haven’t uploaded to Focus yet. Believe I will be returning the Thorton tune, after working through your tuning series. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thorton confirmed that they don’t have any active forums to support their product/brand. They just referred me to their reviews page. Thanks 🙏in advance for whatever you might be able to suggest.
Love your videos man! I’m in Australia and I’m about to turbo my Ford territory (Barra) Been watching your videos religiously learning as much as I can! Be cool if I could email you a log and see what you think of it or even have a play yourself see what you can do to it
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
This section was definitely sped up but it is useful for sure. I'm doing research to see if I could get into tuning my own vehicles vs paying a shop hundreds of dollars per car
This tuner i asked to tune my car said he is going to charge me an extra 100$ to redo the airflow tables for my after market MAF is that reasonable or dumb because im thinking its preety dumb considering part of tuning is allready correcting your airflow tables so how would he have to completely reprogram my MAF airflow table 😂 i need explanation
Awesome content but Ive had to continuously work out what page you're on as you just breeze from editor to scan pages without say what page to select. Still very beneficial but thank you TH-cam for the pause and rewind buttons- You've been invaluable...
Great Video's! Big help! Just wanted to add my experience with M.A.F. tuning here with HP. In terms of the M.A.F. 2D graph in the editor and it's smoothness. If you look at your scan in the charts VS time table you can see under W.O.T. as the RPM'S rise , the M.A.F. scan is not a smooth rising graph! It flattens out at points during the pull. This I believe has alot to do with camshaft as well as air flow from air filter to tail pipe. So if you smooth out all your peaks and valleys after an EFR error correction then make another scan and apply the EFR error corrections you will see your M.A.F. curve in the graph become un smooth again. Easy to see under WOT because no varying throttle input. Again great stuff!
Good input, Frank! Might have to try and figure a way of testing that out. Part of it is going to also be attributed to the way that the frequency is calculated may not be able to produce a smooth curve and will require correction. What you might be seeing is the correction to manufacturing differences. The standard curve works fine for a mass produced sensor when you take into consideration that you are using the O2 sensors to clean it up in the end. Thanks again for the comment!
jesus what happened in this video, the first two were at the right pace and then this one is on steroids, you just fly through all the settings, we click here, we click there, we click everywhere, and nothing is explained why or what it does, impossible for a newb to follow, I know I can pause the video, but seems like it should go at 75% the pace
Hey GRG. First off you Tuning Videos are amazing. I just recently upgraded my V2 with heads, cam ported x blower, and intake. I was able to get the car going with the narrow band sensors just watching your videos. Now I'm trying wideband tuning. I purchased the AEM you mentioned. I doing MAF tuning now and disabled the Dynamic Airflow and O2. The issue now is I can't get the car to heat up the Wideband. It shows Heat about halfway up then the cam hits and it drops out of heat cycle. The wideband is in B2S2 in the Long Tube headers. Any tips on how the tune can help heat the Wideband.? 😊
Since Editor version 5.0.4 is the current version and this video was produced 4 years ago could you please re-due this using current version of Editor? I find it very difficult to follow step by step as you work your way thru the process.
First off, this guy is awesome. Secondly, I'm super confused. With closed loop running all of the time, it's constantly adjusting the fuel. short term fuel trims are going to effect the wideband feedback and cause lean areas to slowly fall to stoich, and rich areas to also rise to stoich. Won't any hits you get also get corrected for? Additionally, After following the instructions to disable fuel cuts, I still find spots where my lambda sensor goes full o2 at very low RPMs (~1200 or so) in a decel condition before it catches the idle. Something to look out for there as well. It will quickly throw off idle MAF adjustment.
I followed these steps, added channel, graph, have eq error math, and copy labels, the graph works and I see hit but only shows 0.00 through multiple logs. Help
At 8:33, you say to change the EQ Ratio to Mass Airflow. But when you went in to change it, you left it at EQ Ratio. I assume this is a mistake? Don't we want EQ Ratio and NOT Mass Airflow? Also, I have seen you tune MAF 2 different ways. 1) Use the narrow-band O2 sensors while in closed-loop and monitor fueling adjustments made by LTFT & STFT, thus letting the ECM keep the fueling at stoich. Then make MAF adjustments using fueling error from the LTFT & STFT data. 2) Use an external wide-band AFR sensor and disable closed-loop so no fueling adjustments are made. Then make MAF adjustments using data on how much the fueling is off from stoich using wide-band data. In the end, we want the MAF sensor to represent the actual air coming into the engine. Is using method 2 (using wide-band) better than method 1 (using narrow-band O2 sensors)? I really enjoy your videos. When I watch other tuning videos, I come back you yours to see if they are accurate on what they say. Keep up the great work!
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?
Can you do an updated video on what equipment and sensors you'll need to do this. I personally have a 3rd Gen 5.3 ls that is going to have a mild torquey motor but long term goal is a twin turbo setup. I know I need a new laptop but no clue on what software to get and what wideband sensor and another sensors I may need will be compatible with the software. Person goals are better towing, hopefully improve or minimize any loss in mpg as long as I stay off the gas. And occasionally stop light, more realistically interstate fun. Don't need to be on the edge performance wise, I'm ok giving up some hp for mpg and dependability. Would like to get all the tuning in place and understood before I even install the new motor. As it sits it's a stock flexfuel 5.3 with cutback flowmaster exhaust and k&n cold air intake. Plan to play and learn now before I start adding cam, intake, boost and various other upgrades to the mix. Tia any assistance is greatly appreciated.
kyle ive watched the intro clips & u skipped the most important part! the tools we need to get tuneing right from dtc connector through to anything else we need, & the price 2 set up for tuneing & where to get the stuff from? im mechanically minded but not very computer savvy & i think alot of your viewers will b the same. anyhow mayb a tought 4 another video.
Definitely enjoyed the quick hitter video with the theory behind the changes in a separate vid. I’ll be working through these tips in the next few days on my cammed 6.0. Bought a mail order tune for it and struggling to even get it to idle. Bought HPtuners MPVI2 pro with a wideband but can’t decide whether to work with the mail order tune or start from scratch. Any suggestions?
John, I'd probably start from scratch, a cam is hard to tune without being able to log the car and see how the changes actually are working. Speed density just takes time, work in small increments starting in the idle range of the map and gradually work out from there. Cams are definitely one of the more complicated things to tune and make sure and dive into the forums, you'll find some good tips for your platform if you do a little digging. This on an LS2?
Goat Rope Garage it’s an LS1. I’ve found some decent write ups on speed density and I guess I’ll go back to square 1. Seems like creating a file with the stock tune and speed density rtt oss is the place to start. Get her to idle and move up from there.
So I've spent a few hours trying to get a stable idle. I'm basically to the point you showed in the vid where you start, find out it's lean and adjust MAF frequency. I'm also making small adjustments on Injector flow rate as i'm not positive they're really dialed in. At this point it's idling slightly lean but only runs with the throttle barely cracked. If I sent you a tune file and log along with all the specifics of the motor would you be able to look it over and see if i'm on the right track? Thanks in advance
I’ve watched your videos multiple times, maybe I’m over thinking it and making it harder than what it is. But when you create the EQ ratio math what’s the reasoning behind editing the variable? I’m confused maybe it’s a stupid question I don’t know lol, you say add mass air flow and then add the wide band? I’m sorry if it was discussed anywhere else I just wanted to figure it out
I probably just over complicated it. As long as the built in math parameter for EQ error ratio works go ahead and use that. I just had to edit that one due to a scaling issue on the wideband.
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
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
Can you go over which AEM your using and how its connected the interface (and which version of the interface your using) This will assist in understanding the scanner setup - thanks
Just started using HP Tuners, I’m trying to disable Open Loop but I don’t have 02 Readiness Voltage as something I can change. How else do I go about keeping 02 sensors from adjusting fueling? Thanks!
Im having a hard time getting my EQ Error table to run. I feel as ive gone over the video a bunch of times but cant find what im missing. Runnig an AEM 30-0300 and MPVI3 with the prolink
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!

Goat Rope Garage came back to rewatch this video and noticed that, somehow, I had hit the *thumb down* button. Very sorry, and don't know how that happened. I corrected it, *thumb up* of course!
You make excellent vids man! THANKS!
Oh man you're just a straight up legend thank you so very much! I'll try my best to support the channel
Needed this exact video thanks alot! Cant wait for the rest of the videos!
Keep up the good work man this is some quality content
Definitely prefer a very thorough and specific type of video content. One that explains in deep detail. Cant help but think most of your viewers would be people that would benefit from that and it never hurts to beat the same vital information through over and over and over. Really ingrain this all in the memory banks🤷♂️😅😅
Just watch it over and over and over. It really works!
Thanks for making these videos. You do a good job explaining all this.
Awesome information you are giving me and others. Thank you!
Another good video, can’t wait to see more 👍
Glad I found your channel! Awesome video! Looking forward to watching your other video's!
I consider myself a newbie, and your videos are such a great help. Thank you for the great content.
Awesome video. Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I have just a whole mess of sensors, and various year engine and computers that was never in a factory vehicle together so getting everything zeroed in is what I'm trying to do now. I don't know of any tuners locally that I would trust and that's why I got HP tuners in the first place.
Really big THANKS for making theses videos!!
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!
Thank you
You have helped me alot with tuning. Love your videos
Great video very informative, I’ve been able to know what I’m doing just by watching your videos. 👍👍👍
Thanks. This was a big help.
I dont have any of these parameters we are changing, i have a p01 from a 2000 silverado, i dont have o2 readiness voltage or the wb?
Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks for your time and effort into making my life a hell of alot easier, your knowledge and training capabilities have helped a first time tuner get the shopping trolley running after new cam, wideband addition etc, bloody legend!
Any pointers into running dual FBW Throttle Bodies utilising an E38 ecu 6.0 project 1937 Chevy pickup from Australia (not quite running yet) just looking to get some sort of base tune down, and anything else i should try.
Thanks,
Carl
Thanks so much
ABT! Always be tuning!
Ok so I know this is an old video but this works with the mpvi3 right? Or is there different stuff you gotta do? Great video by the way it really helps when you actually explain whats going on 👍
Exactly the same
My Gen 4 Oxygen disable was different. I had a temperature to change verse your voltage.
I won a unicorn, one owner, first Gen 2003 Ford Focus. I have replaced the 1 5/8” header and complete exhaust with a 2.5” performance header and exhaust. Deleted the CAT. Installed a 2.5” x 12” long Flowmaster 40 muffler and a 2.5” x 12” long resonator. Complete K&N cold air intake kit. Upgraded the entire suspension leaving it at stock height. Lighter aluminum Koenig wheels and mounted Continental Road and Track tires on the wheels.
I made the mistake of purchasing the Thornton Stage 3 tune and app/software. Haven’t uploaded to Focus yet. Believe I will be returning the Thorton tune, after working through your tuning series.
Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thorton confirmed that they don’t have any active forums to support their product/brand. They just referred me to their reviews page.
Thanks 🙏in advance for whatever you might be able to suggest.
Thank you very good info.
Love your videos man! I’m in Australia and I’m about to turbo my Ford territory (Barra)
Been watching your videos religiously learning as much as I can! Be cool if I could email you a log and see what you think of it or even have a play yourself see what you can do to it
great videos.. love the short, to the point video style
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
thanks for you alooot
This section was definitely sped up but it is useful for sure. I'm doing research to see if I could get into tuning my own vehicles vs paying a shop hundreds of dollars per car
This tuner i asked to tune my car said he is going to charge me an extra 100$ to redo the airflow tables for my after market MAF is that reasonable or dumb because im thinking its preety dumb considering part of tuning is allready correcting your airflow tables so how would he have to completely reprogram my MAF airflow table 😂 i need explanation
Awesome content but Ive had to continuously work out what page you're on as you just breeze from editor to scan pages without say what page to select. Still very beneficial but thank you TH-cam for the pause and rewind buttons- You've been invaluable...
I'm learning a lot
Thanks for all the info
Great Video's! Big help! Just wanted to add my experience with M.A.F. tuning here with HP. In terms of the M.A.F. 2D graph in the editor and it's smoothness. If you look at your scan in the charts VS time table you can see under W.O.T. as the RPM'S rise , the M.A.F. scan is not a smooth rising graph! It flattens out at points during the pull. This I believe has alot to do with camshaft as well as air flow from air filter to tail pipe. So if you smooth out all your peaks and valleys after an EFR error correction then make another scan and apply the EFR error corrections you will see your M.A.F. curve in the graph become un smooth again. Easy to see under WOT because no varying throttle input. Again great stuff!
Good input, Frank! Might have to try and figure a way of testing that out. Part of it is going to also be attributed to the way that the frequency is calculated may not be able to produce a smooth curve and will require correction. What you might be seeing is the correction to manufacturing differences. The standard curve works fine for a mass produced sensor when you take into consideration that you are using the O2 sensors to clean it up in the end.
Thanks again for the comment!
Very very interesting ! Cool 👍
Great GREAT!! Info.
Hey bud great video
Great vudeo, Love the format.
Great stuff, prefer the shorter more focused videos concept such as this one, just letting you know
jesus what happened in this video, the first two were at the right pace and then this one is on steroids, you just fly through all the settings, we click here, we click there, we click everywhere, and nothing is explained why or what it does, impossible for a newb to follow, I know I can pause the video, but seems like it should go at 75% the pace
He did say multiple multiple times this video is the shortened condensed version. You can watch the 40 min video for more in depth
Complain complain you know your name
@@smokecreekstudio7320 where is the 40 minute video on MAF tuning and Scaling ? I don't see it? Thanks
@@Boolaine1 same
I don’t see the 40 minute version also. I got lost and I rewatched it.
What does DFCO do? If you shut it off won’t it make pops and bangs on Decel?
Thank you a lot for this great explanation
But I have questions we copy and multiple by half ? What if we just past it without multiply ?
You'll be pasting the error percentage, which won't work
Hey GRG. First off you Tuning Videos are amazing. I just recently upgraded my V2 with heads, cam ported x blower, and intake. I was able to get the car going with the narrow band sensors just watching your videos. Now I'm trying wideband tuning. I purchased the AEM you mentioned. I doing MAF tuning now and disabled the Dynamic Airflow and O2. The issue now is I can't get the car to heat up the Wideband. It shows Heat about halfway up then the cam hits and it drops out of heat cycle. The wideband is in B2S2 in the Long Tube headers. Any tips on how the tune can help heat the Wideband.? 😊
Great information videos 😇 and i like short format its more focus in a topic
Since Editor version 5.0.4 is the current version and this video was produced 4 years ago could you please re-due this using current version of Editor? I find it very difficult to follow step by step as you work your way thru the process.
First off, this guy is awesome.
Secondly, I'm super confused. With closed loop running all of the time, it's constantly adjusting the fuel. short term fuel trims are going to effect the wideband feedback and cause lean areas to slowly fall to stoich, and rich areas to also rise to stoich. Won't any hits you get also get corrected for?
Additionally, After following the instructions to disable fuel cuts, I still find spots where my lambda sensor goes full o2 at very low RPMs (~1200 or so) in a decel condition before it catches the idle. Something to look out for there as well. It will quickly throw off idle MAF adjustment.
This may sound dumb, but Im very new to tuning with HPT. My question is why did you make it rich before logging?
I followed these steps, added channel, graph, have eq error math, and copy labels, the graph works and I see hit but only shows 0.00 through multiple logs. Help
When I make my maf error graph in the diagnostic I’m not getting any data when I drive the vehicle. What am I missing how do I get my hz to show up?
At 8:33, you say to change the EQ Ratio to Mass Airflow. But when you went in to change it, you left it at EQ Ratio. I assume this is a mistake? Don't we want EQ Ratio and NOT Mass Airflow?
Also, I have seen you tune MAF 2 different ways.
1) Use the narrow-band O2 sensors while in closed-loop and monitor fueling adjustments made by
LTFT & STFT, thus letting the ECM keep the fueling at stoich.
Then make MAF adjustments using fueling error from the LTFT & STFT data.
2) Use an external wide-band AFR sensor and disable closed-loop so no fueling adjustments are made.
Then make MAF adjustments using data on how much the fueling is off from stoich using wide-band data.
In the end, we want the MAF sensor to represent the actual air coming into the engine.
Is using method 2 (using wide-band) better than method 1 (using narrow-band O2 sensors)?
I really enjoy your videos. When I watch other tuning videos, I come back you yours to see if they are accurate on what they say.
Keep up the great work!
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?
Spot on
Can you do an updated video on what equipment and sensors you'll need to do this. I personally have a 3rd Gen 5.3 ls that is going to have a mild torquey motor but long term goal is a twin turbo setup. I know I need a new laptop but no clue on what software to get and what wideband sensor and another sensors I may need will be compatible with the software. Person goals are better towing, hopefully improve or minimize any loss in mpg as long as I stay off the gas. And occasionally stop light, more realistically interstate fun. Don't need to be on the edge performance wise, I'm ok giving up some hp for mpg and dependability. Would like to get all the tuning in place and understood before I even install the new motor. As it sits it's a stock flexfuel 5.3 with cutback flowmaster exhaust and k&n cold air intake. Plan to play and learn now before I start adding cam, intake, boost and various other upgrades to the mix. Tia any assistance is greatly appreciated.
kyle ive watched the intro clips & u skipped the most important part! the tools we need to get tuneing right from dtc connector through to anything else we need, & the price 2 set up for tuneing & where to get the stuff from? im mechanically minded but not very computer savvy & i think alot of your viewers will b the same. anyhow mayb a tought 4 another video.
Sounds good, I'll get on that!
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
Definitely enjoyed the quick hitter video with the theory behind the changes in a separate vid. I’ll be working through these tips in the next few days on my cammed 6.0. Bought a mail order tune for it and struggling to even get it to idle. Bought HPtuners MPVI2 pro with a wideband but can’t decide whether to work with the mail order tune or start from scratch. Any suggestions?
John, I'd probably start from scratch, a cam is hard to tune without being able to log the car and see how the changes actually are working. Speed density just takes time, work in small increments starting in the idle range of the map and gradually work out from there. Cams are definitely one of the more complicated things to tune and make sure and dive into the forums, you'll find some good tips for your platform if you do a little digging. This on an LS2?
Goat Rope Garage it’s an LS1.
I’ve found some decent write ups on speed density and I guess I’ll go back to square 1. Seems like creating a file with the stock tune and speed density rtt oss is the place to start. Get her to idle and move up from there.
Bingo! Let me know if you run into any issues and I'll do my best to help!
So I've spent a few hours trying to get a stable idle. I'm basically to the point you showed in the vid where you start, find out it's lean and adjust MAF frequency. I'm also making small adjustments on Injector flow rate as i'm not positive they're really dialed in. At this point it's idling slightly lean but only runs with the throttle barely cracked. If I sent you a tune file and log along with all the specifics of the motor would you be able to look it over and see if i'm on the right track? Thanks in advance
Yeah, I've got a new email let me get it setup and verified it works then I'll post it so you can send it. Give me a couple hours.
I’ve watched your videos multiple times, maybe I’m over thinking it and making it harder than what it is. But when you create the EQ ratio math what’s the reasoning behind editing the variable? I’m confused maybe it’s a stupid question I don’t know lol, you say add mass air flow and then add the wide band? I’m sorry if it was discussed anywhere else I just wanted to figure it out
I probably just over complicated it. As long as the built in math parameter for EQ error ratio works go ahead and use that. I just had to edit that one due to a scaling issue on the wideband.
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
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
Can you go over which AEM your using and how its connected the interface (and which version of the interface your using) This will assist in understanding the scanner setup - thanks
Just started using HP Tuners, I’m trying to disable Open Loop but I don’t have 02 Readiness Voltage as something I can change. How else do I go about keeping 02 sensors from adjusting fueling? Thanks!
I have the same question, you ever figure this out?
Cc an HP tuners work on a 2002 Ford mustang 3.8l, I've got a fully built engine but needs a tune bad
Im having a hard time getting my EQ Error table to run. I feel as ive gone over the video a bunch of times but cant find what im missing. Runnig an AEM 30-0300 and MPVI3 with the prolink
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!
