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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 !
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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
@@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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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🤷♂️😅😅
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.
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 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
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?
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
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
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 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!
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?
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!
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.
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
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 videos I like it even though im tuning a hemi so im trying weed through what will work from yours to mine. also your music I feel like I should be in a pulp fiction kind of movie
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.
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
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!
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 👍
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
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!
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
First time viewer. Great content for novice tuner. Question, is the wideband 02 system monitor kit (e.g. Ballenger Motorsports AFR500v3 kit available from HP Tuners site) installed when doing all these changes? Don't recall if Volume 1 video speaks of specific kits or even if needed, and if so, when and by whom. It would be nice to know, perhaps content for the Volume 2 "Setup".
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
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.
How can I be sure that I am in Open Loop? My GEN 4 (L76) has different table options than your example in the video, so I would like to confirm I am currently only running off the MAF, for proper MAF curve tuning! Under Fuel, OXY sensors, Monitoring I do not have an O2 readiness voltage tab. Instead mine has O2 readiness ECT (it's a temperature table). My pre-existing tune was set to -40 across the board in this table. I set it to 493 (the maximum allowed) Was that the correct way to disable them? Also, under Airflow, Dynamic, Dynamic Airflow my High RPM Disable was ALREADY set to 100 and my High RPM Re-enable was ALREADY set to 90 in my Pre-existing tune, not sure why. Would this meen I was never switching to speed density under wide open throttle? The car was dyno tuned when i got it and runs really well. I am just trying to learn and fine tune it at the same time.
Harry, there is a PID you can monitor in the scanner, it's usually called something like fuel status, that will show if you're in open or closed loop. And yeah, max out that etc table for readiness to disable.
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?
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.
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 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.? 😊
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!
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.

Oh man you're just a straight up legend thank you so very much! I'll try my best to support the channel
Another good video, can’t wait to see more 👍
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.
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 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
Great video very informative, I’ve been able to know what I’m doing just by watching your videos. 👍👍👍
Awesome video. Very helpful. Thank you.
Really big THANKS for making theses videos!!
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?
Great stuff, prefer the shorter more focused videos concept such as this one, just letting you know
You have helped me alot with tuning. Love your videos
Thank you
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
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
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 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!
Thanks. This was a big help.
I'm learning a lot
Thanks so much
ABT! Always be tuning!
great videos.. love the short, to the point video style
Great information videos 😇 and i like short format its more focus in a topic
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?
Thank you very good info.
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
Very very interesting ! Cool 👍
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?
Great GREAT!! Info.
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!
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.
Thanks for all the info
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
Hey bud great video
Great vudeo, Love the format.
My Gen 4 Oxygen disable was different. I had a temperature to change verse your voltage.
Be awesome if you could put this, map, cam and timing tuning videos and send them too me. 😂 these are awesome
What does DFCO do? If you shut it off won’t it make pops and bangs on Decel?
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
Sir i due appreciate your tutorial, good explanation i need a video practical with a car.🤝👍
great videos I like it even though im tuning a hemi so im trying weed through what will work from yours to mine. also your music I feel like I should be in a pulp fiction kind of movie
A lot of the basics as far as tuning the fueling is pretty universal, so it will get you pointed in the right direction. Thanks for watching!
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.
How would you do this with connecting your wideband through the egr or ac circuit?
thanks for you alooot
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.
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!
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
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
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?
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
Had a question sir, tuning my Gen3 Hemi, do deceleration fuel cut off I have different parameters. Enable and disable by ECT, MAP, and MAP Hyst
First time viewer. Great content for novice tuner. Question, is the wideband 02 system monitor kit (e.g. Ballenger Motorsports AFR500v3 kit available from HP Tuners site) installed when doing all these changes? Don't recall if Volume 1 video speaks of specific kits or even if needed, and if so, when and by whom. It would be nice to know, perhaps content for the Volume 2 "Setup".
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
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.
How can I be sure that I am in Open Loop? My GEN 4 (L76) has different table options than your example in the video, so I would like to confirm I am currently only running off the MAF, for proper MAF curve tuning! Under Fuel, OXY sensors, Monitoring I do not have an O2 readiness voltage tab. Instead mine has O2 readiness ECT (it's a temperature table). My pre-existing tune was set to -40 across the board in this table. I set it to 493 (the maximum allowed) Was that the correct way to disable them? Also, under Airflow, Dynamic, Dynamic Airflow my High RPM Disable was ALREADY set to 100 and my High RPM Re-enable was ALREADY set to 90 in my Pre-existing tune, not sure why. Would this meen I was never switching to speed density under wide open throttle? The car was dyno tuned when i got it and runs really well. I am just trying to learn and fine tune it at the same time.
Harry, there is a PID you can monitor in the scanner, it's usually called something like fuel status, that will show if you're in open or closed loop. And yeah, max out that etc table for readiness to disable.
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?
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.
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 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.? 😊
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 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!
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.
