Tuning MAF and VVE at the Same Time

[Cringer]

Still needs vertical and horizontal smoothing and for the shaping have it to where you can click on the 3d pic and drag cells up or down. That's the way I shape it in the editor like what you're talking about

I also assume you can change cam positions and apply errors to those new positions?

Yes I would like to have an interactive 3D chart, but I am not there yet! I have horizontal and vertical interpolation. I have not yet coded the smoothing...just trying to think how I want to implement it...maybe have a fine, medium and course smoothing option.

Make sure your fuel pressure is good. I've only had two of these that didn't idle right. One had the MAF right after an elbow and on top of that, the fuel supply was dropping out due to pump and tank location. New better fuel system and a lot of MAF tuning took care of it. The other was a rock crawler and the guy had put some lead additive in it by mistake. Clogged his 3 filters including jamming the regulator in the final filter and caused some sticking issues with his injectors. New filters, system flush and running some stuff through his injectors and it was back going good. Just saying cause it's a sand buggy.

Idle setting in the stock cal will be as low as you will be able to or want to go. Stock stall should handle that unless the stator in the converter is bad. Been seeing that lately with cheapo converters... These motors run really good even in their stock configuration with injection timing and other changes. I often have to detune them for customers after they drive them with a good tune in the old Ford bodies especially cause they get a wee bit scary when you stomp them doing 50 or 60 and it still wants to work the rear end around. Now do a LT swap with a 10sp in a heavier older car with good suspension and brakes and they really haul

Has a good aftermarket regulator. Dead nuts 60psi

Oh and Cringer. You were spot on with the zones. Put the zones in first and then the rest and bang. Zones showed up. I'm getting there.

Hey one more thing. Can you critique my layout? Been working on it for a while. Kind of a mish mash of what seems to be the current trend. I won't tell you how much time I have into it. Hahahaha

It is a bit busy for my tastes...but I am not a professional tuner. I just have different layouts for specific things I load as needed rather than one large one.
Of course the biggest problem IMHO is that you are using the GMVE formulas rather than Dynamic Air ;-D

Hahah true!

[TheMechanic]

Do you have a guide or a layout that includes the dynamic air so I can put it into my layout?
I went through this and I am brain numb.

Thank you in advance.

Just go back to the first post in this thread then copy/paste to create some new formulas. Then swap out any references to whatever you are using for GMVE or MAF with them.
This should work too... https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...usp=drive_link
I copied all the stuff over at some point, but not sure if any one has tested it.

Unless I'm wrong the updated formulas are at the end of that thread aren't they or maybe you already updated them it looks like?

This is what I've been using and so far working very well.

Dyn Closed Loop using fuel trim corrections -
(([2320.71]+([2320.71]*([50116.156]+[50114.156])/100))-[2311.71])/[2311.71]*100

Filter for it -
ABS([50040.71]-[50040.71.shift(-10)]) < ([50040.71]/[50040.71.shift(-10)])*0.1 & ABS([2311.71]-[2311.71.shift(-10)]) < ([2311.71]/[2311.71.shift(-10)])*0.1 OR [50090.156] > 95

There's also this filter which includes some more -
ABS([50040.71]-[50040.71.shift(-10)]) < ([50040.71]/[50040.71.shift(-10)])*0.1 & ABS([2311.71]-[2311.71.shift(-10)]) < ([2311.71]/[2311.71.shift(-10)])*0.1 OR [50090.156] > 75 AND ([6310]=9 OR [6310]=14 OR [6310]=15)=0

I forget to update my channel configs to log everything needed for it. The first one works really good either way.

On a side note the VVE formulas I assume are for correcting the MAF while in SD mode correct? Looked like it from the looks of the formula. This is an important one everyone should be doing with SD tunes

I should also note a big Thank You to Cringer and Sirius for all of this!!! Makes life a lot easier and tunes a lot better. Especially the VE tool

I edited the updated Dynamic Air formulas to the first post. I have not tried any of Sirius filter formulas yet as I have been able to do much active tuning lately. The formulas are made to work in hybrid mode. You can go into SD, but that is not needed at all.

Thanks Cringer for all this, newbie and trying to learn. Just wanted to say appreciate it. I've watched the vids and slowly but surely getting there

You are welcome! If you have any questions please ask away.

I've read this and the corresponding threads several times. Is there any way your Dynamic method can be implemented for gen 3 VE that I'm not understanding? MAF calibration part seems to work fine especially with the recently devised filters. The current limitation I'm unable to find a resolution for is gen 3 not supporting the Volumetric Airflow pid.

Sorry, I do not have any experience on Gen3's and I do not know if Dynamic Air is implemented the same way as it is on Gen 4 and Gen 5. If it is not accessible in your scanner, then I think you have your answer and you are going to have to use the legacy methods for tuning.
