2018 escape 2.0 tuning
So i took the plunge and started tuning my wifes escape and it has been quite the learning experience. All I did was read the file add a license and turn off the auto start then go to datalog and bam it has audible spark knock at part throttle under load. After much searching and reading i was able to figure out how to stop it and am now moving on to boost and fueling. My question is where can i find the actual lamba reading in the channels i am logging the desired but cant find the actual. I found the other channels i needed but this one is alluding me. If anyone knows where it is or any other info about it i would appreciate the help.

Never mind i figured it out

Been working away at tuning our 17 Escape 2.0L. Have stayed pretty conservative as yet, but its much improved over stock. Makes it somewhat fun to drive

I am at a point that i have to get a better intercooler. this one heat soaks so fast. i ordered one from depot and i hope it works. did you do anything with the trans on yours? I didnt do much to mine but the shifting is so much better. I would like to compare our tune files if you dont mind posting yours here and i will do the same.
if you go to my youtube i have a short video of mine doing a dead stop hit to about 60. i did let off at the beginning as it was spinning so bad. my youtube is tech1302

Yours must be FWD? Definitely struggles for traction, lol. I agree on the intercooler...I see about a 40 degree rise in MCT during a pull from 0-90ish mph. I know in warmer weather it will be a bigger issue. I did play with trans functions some, but had to keep it subtle as it's the wife's daily. My most current file is on a different computer but I'll post a file that is pretty recent.

Yeah its a FWD and does not hook up at all in first. I followed that sho tarus guide on some of my trans stuff and it seems to work well. I also read some of murphies posts and followed some of the 6r80 ideas. it will spin second and third feels great. I have yet to mess with 4-6 in the same manner.
I will get this intercooler on it and some colder plugs and see what is does. I am having some knock retard at higher rpms right now when my mct temp gets over 100-110
I might even try some e30 and see how it does.

What is max boost you are logging, and how much does it taper off with RPM?
