Thread: Tuning update now running on CORN

    Tuning update now running on CORN

    I've chaned my methods a bit, instead of playing with the injector flowrates, and RPM tables, I've just started recurving the MAF, and it works great. Also by increasing timing, and leaning it out, I managed to get 28mpg out if it, keep in mind thats without any o2 sensors.

    My question is I've had some trouble with the timing, under boost, I discover that I can get rid of the knock by running the A/F at around 10.5:1, the problem is my ignition can't keep it lit at high rpm with that A/F, If I run it at 11.5-12 the knock comes back, and it still missfires, but not as much. Is its possible that I have folued plugs, or is this a common thing? Do you guys think better coils would help out? Is it possible the computer is seeing detonation, and calling it a missfire?

    Re: Tuning update and more questions.

    Geez, well I guess I'll continue talking to my self, just in case.

    Well the car is now running on a blend of corn alcohol, which has solved some of my problems, and introduced some new ones, details are over on FV6.com.

    I know some GTP guys are on this forum, do you guys know the difference between the L36 and L67 coils? I'm thiniking about swapping to a set to see if it helps the ignition.

    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    Thats the reason I asked, they don't have the same part number.
