Addressing the most common issues people ask me about

[@bagged68C10]

I'm a self taught tuner and have been tuning for the last 4 years. There is so much information online sometimes it's hard to know what is good or not. Mat Sanford mentioned you in one of his videos and that led me to your page. Thanks for all the great info and the awesome tools. Your hard work does not go to waste! Even though I only do Gen 3 stuff there's lots of great info you share so thanks again!

[@SilverSurfer77]

Wow thank you brother! I appreciate the kind words and donation!

Within the short span of just 32 minutes, you've illuminated intricacies that took me yearlong efforts to comprehend. Your cogent progression of thought in explaining complex concepts has substantially simplified their understanding. Looking back, if I had chanced upon this informative video four years ago, I would have saved myself an immeasurable amount of time spent in trial and error, thus avoiding the frustration related to diagnosing my inconsistent fuel trims. My sincere gratitude for generously imparting your specialized knowledge in such an easily digestible manner.

[@SilverSurfer77]

Thank you for the thoughtful reply! I feel like I need to print this and hang it on my office wall! :-D

[@jamesculver829]

A well put together video, great information to go back and give a check list of what the heck am I doing check list. Greg is Awesome have gone through his posts and he definitely is a teacher for sure. Keep up the great work my friend!

[@Aidoz_Garage]

Thank you for all of your hard work and making our community better! We owe a lot to you for your tools and videos making sense to what dyn air is and especially the 6l80e stuff
How is your build coming along?

[@SilverSurfer77]

Thank you for the support!
I ran into all kinds of install and fitment issues with the new intake due to having the taller aftermarket heads, but the car is back together and running. I do plan on doing a final video on the XS intake to report the issues. Dyno session did not go smoothly, but that is a long story.
How are things in your corner of the world?

[@Aidoz_Garage]

@@SilverSurfer77 sorry to hear about that. I recently did a btr redhot cam away and I immediately had a lifter go bad. I will be tearing it down this weekend to replace everything, hopefully the cam is ok

[@SilverSurfer77]

@@Aidoz_Garage oh man that is heart breaking! Any ideas as to what caused it to go bad?

[@Aidoz_Garage]

@@SilverSurfer77 right now I’m suspecting it was was caused by the oil pump o ring or the camshaft retaining plate seal not getting enough oil pressure, I’ve got a standard lsa high pressure and high volume oil pump, should be normally 40+ psi at idle and when it was hot it would go as low as 20psi at idle, I think I messed up when putting the oil pump back on and damaged the o ring

[@SilverSurfer77]

@@Aidoz_Garage dang...good luck! Hopefully there is no other damage.

[@pierrelun]

The information and your way of relaying this information is amazing
Since I'm lazy whenever I can be, is there any reason why not just use "Excel Fill series" function instead of interpolating the missing data from the missing MAF cell?
Also, does the torque mgmt filter work with manual transmission as well? I've always filtered with TPS and stuff, gonna try your way any day now 👍 can't wait for VVE 2.0

[@SilverSurfer77]

You know...of all my time using Excel just about everyday I have never used the Fill function this way lol. You taught me something! Hopefully I don't forget it!
You can try with the Tq Mgmt Advance filter...but it probably won't work on a manual. There may be some variances with OS's though.

[@pierrelun]

That's great!
Alright, will have to find a suitable filter function similar to the torque management option. Maybe there's something suitable in the HP tuners thread about tuning with Dyn Air.

[@WingsAA]

I'm the reason you talk about the Fuel trim cell filter. 😂

[@SilverSurfer77]

It's all good brother! Thanks for being part of Club Silver!

[@65CHEVYII]

Thank you for all the great info. I have a GEN 5 shoved in a 65 Chevy II. What would I need to change on formulas and filters for the gen 5

[@SilverSurfer77]

I have noticed that the EVAP/Fuel Trim Cells are little funky on Gen5's, so I typically cheat and use the commanded eq ratio for the filters =1 for CL and

[@MrSchmidthead]

Greg is awesome. Has helped me from time to time. As has Kyle (Goat Rope), 07GTS, and hjtrbo.

[@SilverSurfer77]

Yeah I totally agree. When I first started out I was scared to touch anything in the tune, but after watching Kyle I developed enough confidence and inspiration to start trying on my own. Who knows how many tuners he has created and educated over the years. He has got to be one of the most valuable and dedicated guys out there. Not many people have done as much for tuning as he has IMHO!

[@SilverSurfer77]

Yes 07GTS and hjtrbo have also helped me too. HJTRBO has even contributed code for VVE 2.0. Pretty awesome!

[@MrSchmidthead]

Excellent! He helped me iron out the original formula for VVE before you came along.@@SilverSurfer77

[@drmerdp]

I can’t thank you enough for the knowledge and tools you’ve shared. Im a beginner and your videos have given me a big leg up. Watching this video I see that your filter uses “Throttle Position Sensor” pid 50090. That pid is not available in my channel list. The “TPS” pid I have available is in voltage not percent. I’m using pid 2111, can I just swap this pid number into your filter formula?

[@SilverSurfer77]

Glad you are finding all this helpful! What ECM are you working with?
While there are subtle differences between the different throttle positions PIDs, as long as you find one that you can transform to a percent, you should be able to drop that right into the filter function and be all set.

[@drmerdp]

It’s e38 from an 11 yukon Denali. I’ll swap pids. On a side note, Im excited for the release of the VVE 2.0 tool. Thank you.

[@user-wo1je6ko7f]

How do I download MAF folder into my HP tuners. Where do I find it? Parameters and filters? Thanks Roy

[@SilverSurfer77]

You can copy the XML files to your local machine...
C:\Users\\OneDrive\Documents\HP Tuners\VCM Scanner\
There will be a folder for custom math, gauges, charts etc
You can copy from my google drive listed in the video description:

[@JonesAutomation]

That log looks familiar 😅

[@SilverSurfer77]

LOL you have keen eyesight!

[@Brksblake]

I’m having an issue with the filters for the dynamic air tuning. When I apply the filters no data is populating. I’ve even checked to make sure I have the proper pids. My ecm is an e78. Any suggestions?

[@SilverSurfer77]

I have never done anything with an E78 before, kind of a rare bird! What I normally do is remove all the filters and then slowly start applying them back in one by one to see where things fall apart. One possibility is the fuel trim cell PID. The logic I normally use for this works great on the regular Gen4 ECM's but does not seem to work as well for Gen5's. The E78 is a Gen4 ECM, but it was a transitional ECM to the Gen5, so there may be some changes as part of that. If applying the PIDs one at a time doesn't reveal anything feel free to email me the log and I will see what I can see.

[@Brksblake]

@@SilverSurfer77 thank you so much I also sent you a message on hp tuners that was before I saw your reply so I apologize. I’ll get you a log today if I can’t get it straight. Thanks so much for your help.
