Use modified or stock bin?

Howdy,

This is so cool! I just got my WinALDL running with my G2 and modified chip from Moates.com. I used the Moates reader to upload my original bin along with bins from two 2732A chips from tbichips.com. I modified a .bin (using Winbin) that Brian configured to my current engine (350 TBI with Crane 3020, 083 heads, and Holley 502-6 with 65PPH injectors). When I set the BPW to 114 (from 135), the engine quickly protested. I reset the BPW to 125 and while this seemed to work, my WinALDL showed an excessively lean condition.
My question is should I continue to work with the tbichips.com .bin file or should I revert to the stock bin (ACSU)? I'd like to correctly set up my BPW for my 65PPH injectors before I start to work with my VE tables. How do you tweak the BPW without skewing the VE (and seriously leaning the fuel mixture)? I got a number of 114 for a BPW constant from reading earlier posts. Is this a valid value?

Your guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!

Mike

I would set your BPW where it should be and then scale your VE till your motor is happy. Setting your BPW in the ball park will help tuning other aspects of your tune, but fudging it by 10 or so shouldn't cause any problems. Your fuel pressure will also effect what your bpw should be.

I would find start from a known stock bin and modify from there. You can use the compare feature in Tunerpro, which you need to get ahold of very soon it's miles ahead of winbin, using the compare feature will show you everything brian did or didn't do and give you something to compare to.

Good luck and don't be afraid to ask any questions if you can't find what your looking for with the search feature.

Things went from cool to crap in a hurry. I decided to switch to the original bin and make changes to that. I only was able to datalog for a few miles before the truck stalled out in the middle of a crowded intersection. After trying to start it for almost an hour, had to get it towed back home.

I don't believe it died from the ECM mods. I think it's not getting any fuel into the TBI. The fuel pumps are in good shape so I pretty sure it's the fuel tank relay/switch.

Think maybe a bad bin caused it to stop pumping fuel?

Everything was good until it started bucking and coughing and then it died. Even if the memcal was bad, wouldn't the calpac let me "limp home"?

Maybe I need a new hobby...
Mike
