First steps

Ok have my autoprom, tunerpro rt, g1 adapter. I assume I need a stock file in tuner pro as something to start with. I read I need a bin, an adx, and an adf file. I don't exactly understand that can someone explain it to me and show me where to get a stock one for a 90 iroc z 5.7 tpi speed density

Re: First steps

Aujp or super aujp would be a good start. Lt4 timing tables for your aluminum heads.
http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...Information-8D

or

http://gearhead-efi.com/gearhead-efi..._7TPI_auto.bin

xdf is used to modify the bin, adx is used to datalog.

Re: First steps

If you have aluminum heads, then For TPI, I actually wouldn’t go with LT4 tables…. That’s meant for short runner style LT1/Miniram intakes. I’d go with the timing tables from ANHT (L98 Vette TPI automatic) or AXCN (L98 Vette TPI manual).

I have those bins on my website as well...

Re: First steps

So I can't change spark tables I have to have ones to load?
What exactly is the spark tables? The timing to when the oplu fires?

Re: First steps

You can also see what Scott did by reading your .bin and uploading it to this site to see what file he started with.
You then can do a file compare in tuner pro.

http://www.gearhead-efi.com/bithoist/query.php

The prom id number in tuner pro might also tell the story of the starting bin he used.

How can I read the bin without un soldering it from the memcal?

Re: First steps

If it’s soldered onto a memcal you need a header like a hdr1 or ask Scott for your bin you purchased.

Re: First steps

You have the equipment now, why not educate yourself. Do the suggested timing table, set your cid, set injector flow rate.Injector battery offsets. Datalog and adjust fueling.

That is what I truly want but there is so much I don't know. Took 2hrs last night for me to figure out how to load an ecu file to actually read it, and I am not a stranger to computers or electronics. Everytime you guys answer one of my questions I end up with 5 more

Is afr the only thing adjusted via
spark
Injector pulse
Ignition timing? Is the correct afr the ultimate goal?

Re: First steps

The goal is to give the engine what it wants. The timing table and fueling is just a start. You can always come back and adjust for pinging or add timing. You can shoot for stoic but there is more power on the table slighyricher. A wideband is very helpful or on your other thread we suggested the ebl p4. You can incorporate the wb signal into the tuner pro data stream with super aujp.

The vette started using the 113 aluminum heads in 88, the 90-91 tunes are closer to what you need maf vs map .
You can do a file compare between anht and aujp to see the curve differences.

now I'm getting a better understanding
How will I know when the engine has what it wants ie Dyno? Feel? Afr?
How would I know I need more timing?
Running slightly rich rather than lean is better for power?
The auto prom has terminal for a wideband is this sufficient?

Oh, well that's different... lol...

Yeah, you're going to need to touch everything most likely... VE tables, spark tables, Power Enrich, Open loop, accelerator enrich, etc...

I'd probably start with the S_AUJP. It has the capability for WB O2 monitoring in TP RT as well as the capability for specifying open loop operation up to certain RPM (I run open loop up to 1800 rpm on the Miniram and it is FAR superior in performance and driveability than closed loop in that rpm range.

Yeah for your case, the ebl with some self learn capability is probably your best bet. It's not impossible to tune a factory 7730 ECM satisfactorily with your setup, but it may be easier for a beginniner with the ebl.

Otherwise, if you go 7730, we're all here willing to help...

One option as well would be to start with my S_AUJP-based Miniram start bin. The HSR is close enough to the Miniram that it might be a decent starting point. Plus you get the aforementioned benefits of S_AUJP. First off though, I think in your case a WB O2 sensor is must-have.... and also getting it talking with Tunerpro RT so you can review the data after a run and modify the tune based on it. Trust me when I say (outside of a dyno tune) you'll never get it right without a WB O2 if you plan to tune by feel.

Re: First steps

You can sell the apu1 and use that money towards the ebl p4. Rbob and install it on your 730 or the self install is a breeze.

Tuned is probably right about the ebl... but here's the miniram start bin in case... obviously the dislaimer in that thread applies as I never know what condition anyone's vehicle is in. It's definitely a use at your own risk situation.

You can use that and modify your adx or hook to the 730 ecm .

Re: First steps

You really should go with the EBL instead of trying to tune with the AutoProm. Problem being with that much cam it's going to be difficult to tune your idle, etc. The EBL has the ability to implement N-Alpha blending to help control ratty cams. It's not just easier to tune, it has features that will make tuning easier and maybe even in some cases *possible* with components that are usually considered outside the abilities of (stock) fuel injection.

What do you think I can get for an unused apu1 with g1 adapter

Re: First steps

You can list it in the classifieds section here, you might try for $275 shipped.
or see if you can return it and pay a restocking fee if they offer that.
Im afraid you’ll have to take a loss on the apu1 and g1.
You could also use it to get your feet wet tuning and sell it after you tune some. I don’t think it would effects its value.

Do you think I can pull off tuning this cam with the apu.... Enough until I purchase the ebl later?

Re: First steps

A wideband would be a good purchase to see where your at with the tuning. A narrow band can be tuned but it’s difficult. You will have better results with a wideband and you can use it with the ebl too. Nothing to loose giving it a try if you can return the apu1.

Hasnt been 30 days I will return it. I'm so over budget with this motor build. I should have listened to the old men around me and carbed it

Re: First steps

As per your other thread, Doesn’t it run good just poor idle quality ?

It can probably be made to run, but with that much camshaft and the LSA being tight it's going to have enough reversion back into the intake to cause confusing readings on the MAP sensor. This is what N-Alpha blending helps with. It smooths the MAP readings by factoring in another table of pre-computed MAP readings based on engine load/TPS, etc. You may have to force open loop idle which is FAR from ideal with stock micro-code. Without a closed loop idle I have seen my idle AFR swing anywhere from 12:1 up to 16:1 because the intake air temp sensor gets heat soaked or outside air temps change drastically from the conditions where the VE table was programmed...... the stock programming just wasn't designed for this. The VE table is a guideline that is designed to be adjusted considerably with INT/BLM based on O2 sensor feedback. Without that feedback loop things get dumb in a hurry. It affects AE progression when you are idling at 16.5 or 17 AFR and you try to accelerate.....

The EBL is also what you want being new to tuning. It's going to help you get some of those VE tables straightened out.

It actually runs pretty good. Even the idle isn't bad the car is well passed drivable. My issue is I think the full potential power of the motor isn't there. I should have 400 plus to the crank and it doesn't feel like it. I'm sure it just needs tuning. I don't want to depend on anyone so I can adjust at the track as neccneces

Without a wideband it's going to be pretty well impossible to tune for WOT. Anything you tune for without one will just be a guess. With the EBL - you can set a target PE mode AFR and the What's Up Display will tune your VE table to obtain it.
