VE range on 7747

What is the numerical range for the main VE table? Logically it seems like they shouldn't go over 100, but I'm getting very close to that as I tune. I'm wondering if I should scale the whole table down and adjust up BPW or VE adder table or something? Does the VE adder literally just add its number to the whole RPM row on the main VE?

Range is 0 to 100%, with both tables added together. If the main table has the RPM as the rows the ECU/XDF is incorrect. See the Tuning Guide Book sticky, chapter 5, '8063/'7747/'8746 section for a thread on the VE tables.

Re: VE range on 7747

Here's a screenshot from TunerPro. RPM in rows. That's wrong? This is the factory ARJT and it adds to more than 100%. What's that mean?

Just read those articles and none inperticular to $42. But $61 was noted it was RPM column and MAP rows, the XCU/XDF was wrong.
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/diy-...yyyy-down.html

I have been wondering why VE Main and Adder add up to over 100? Over tha last 5 years I have found 4-5 XDF for $42 and combined them all, they were all the same as Mastiff pictured? Has this been wrong forever?

Re: VE range on 7747

This has been a topic I bring up a lot when tuning $42 1227747 ECM that the totals come up over 100?

Just looked in TunerCat software and it is the same as the TunerPro XDF?

Re: VE range on 7747

i remember reading one of RBob's tuning articles and, for whatever reason, the main VE table + adder equaled more than 100. it has something to do with the calc's maybe? in my situation i just keeping adding and when the PW doesnt increase anymore i know ive reached the PW limit lol.

How can you tell the PW isn't increasing?

Also, I've been following the advice of pulling the VE2 table into VE1 for easier tuning. In that case on ARJT some cells are already over 100 and tunerpro truncates them to 100 right in the table.

Re: VE range on 7747

I've tuned many 7747 as is. Some guys say to add adder table to main VE and work off it. That is when I found a stock chip is already over 100. So I left it be and just tuned main VE. Once I get to 95 I raise fuel pressure and start over... now I use an Injector Calculater which uses injector size engine approx HP and calculated fuel pressure. This way I know I have enough fuel top end, then tune...

Is fuel pressure adjustable on a factory TBI setup? I thought it was just built in.

Re: VE range on 7747

It is built in and should be 13 psi. You can make or buy an adjustable FPR. But with your other bubbles in fuel filter I think your sucking air to get your 10 PSI.

The reason they are wrong is because some number of years ago (16?) I got it wrong when I updated the existing (Jay's, IIRC) '7747 ECU file. I corrected it shortly afterward but it fell on deaf ears. It is the one table of many that GM swapped the axis on, so maybe folks didn't believe me when I sent out the correction.

Since then it has been a never ending battle, even many of the '8746 ECU files are the same way, maybe copied my '7747 ECU updates? If it is missing a MAP row, then they were copied, as I also goofed that up.

As for the VE1 and VE2 adding up to more then 100%, yup, even the GM tuners got caught on that one. The ECM will note this and set it to 100% to prevent overflow to a lower number.

The two VE tables are a PITA, which is the first thing I was rid of when I started to re-write the ECM firmware (also went to larger and higher resolution tables).

Re: VE range on 7747

Well it's not falling on deaf ears here!

So the Rows should be MAP and Columns RPM?

But VE adder is correct?

Re: VE range on 7747

Hold on, is the thing I posted actually wrong, or just rotated? I can't see how it could be mislabeled since there are 7 rows and 9 columns. Why does it matter if it's transposed?

Same point/question. The labels can't be wrong, so what difference does it make which axis is X or Y?

I don't know Bob? I just copied the VE Main and set it up RPM columns and MAP rows and it does not read the bin file correctly? Unless something else is wrong? The origanal way is reading from the $42 HAC of ASDX correctly but not if I switch rows and columns?

From the '7747 hac. Here is the SA table look up:

Code:
	LDX	#$D032		; MAIN SA TABLE
				;
	LDAB	L0026		; S/D MAP
	LDAA	L001B		; rpm / 12.5 & 25, brk @ 2400, start 400 rpm, limited to 3600
				;
	JSR	LFB67		; 3d LK UP
MAP in reg B and RPM in reg A, for rows as RPM.

Then the VE1 look up:

Code:
	LDAA	L0026		; S/D MAP
	LSRA			; DIV BY 2 FOR LK UP
	LDAB	L001C		; RPM/25
	CMPB	#128		; 3200 RPM
	BLS	LD6BD		; BR IF RPM LT 3200
				; 
	LDAB	#128		; FORCE 3200 RPM
LD6BD:	LDX	#$D37C		; POINT TO FL 1 TABLE
	JSR	LFB67		; 3D LOOK UP
In this case the MAP is loaded into reg A, and the RPM is in reg B. Which makes the rows MAP.

Re: VE range on 7747

RBob, you know I take your word as a mentor! And well that explains it, but why does it not work?

I ran a log file and data tracing with both VE Main and VE Main Corrected, changed row and column axis and the corrected one stayed at 100 MAP 400 RPM while the original worked fine...

So is just changing the table to correct not enough. It reads the bin wrong and data traces wrong. While the one that is built wrong (original) works right?

EDIT: Since they got VE Main and VE Adder over 100 as a mistake could this be a mistake too?

EDIT: Removed wrong xdf, correct XDF is below.

Figured it out, the XDF entry for the VE1 table is column centric, not row centric which is the default. Which makes the entry correct, but can't tell without looking at the XDF file.

Change the new 'VE as % (FL1) Corrected' entry to row centric and it is correct.

Not sure why that entry parameter would be used, as it adds another level of complexity and confusion. See the Major Order parameter in the pic.

Re: VE range on 7747

Well that did it!

VE from HAC are in place, data tracing is working correctly!

But since you compared it to spark above I looked at my Main Spark advance and it is set to row? But data tracing seems to work fine either way if I set columns or rows? Sure changes where the spark numbers are though? Main Spark has always been MAP kpa acorss top and RPM down left side, like new corrected Main VE table... but set to row?

Re: VE range on 7747

Okay, for those of us who don't live and breathe this stuff, is something actually wrong in TunerPro that needs to be fixed?

You don't live an breathe this stuff?

JK...

The Main VE is fixed thanks to RBob, I checked the spark table and it lines up with $42 HAC. I was just asking if it needed a corection as well.

The XDF/Tuner-Pro is OK as you have it shown originally.

Can also do it the latest way EagleMark did, by going back to the default settings and changing the row/column annunciation. Which will show the rows & columns swapped.

My preference would be to use the method that follows how GM did the table layout. Which is using the row centric layout and with the MAP as rows and RPM as columns.

Note that this is for the VE1 table, no others.

The '7747 ECM in stock form runs a 2-bbl TBI set up. It is also a truck ECM that doesn't support an IAT.

The '7730 ECM in stock form is for MPFI set ups (like TPI), or a single 1-bbl TBI (on 4-bangers).

The '7730 is stock in '90-'92 f-body TPI set ups and the 3.1l MPFI set ups.
