So I just want to throw this out there...... while alot of my posts maybe a bit of a waste I'm all for learning as much as possible about tuning.
So I had my car tuned professionally mafless, and it sucked....... both driving and the power output on the dyno. So I threw the tune out aside from the VE table that was done........
Now I threw my maf back in, clearly if you just throw random numbers in it...... and log Engine Torque or Delivered Torque those results will be skewed by two factors....... what the car thinks in coming in eg. airflow g/sec and timing as per the 'maximum torque' calculation spark table.
So relying on just monitoring those two things dont ultimately help so I thought of another idea. Regardless of the 'numbers'........ there's only one true way of knowing for sure if you are 'getting more out of it'........ and thats MAF Hz...... Because more airflow = higher maf hz...... regardless of anthing else is means more air is coming in to cool that little wire.
Now eg. my mafless dyno tune...... ran constant 460-480nm's.... on the scanner, max MAF Hz read of around 9800hz....... (just example, wont go into all the hows and compliations and the rest)........ since retuning...... my tune runs 550nm's on the scanner, producing more around 10350hz at present.... i'm trying to stabilise manifold pressure somewhat with timing and fueling....... because I know I can get it to around 10650....
So would all the 'advanced' tuners agree......... if nothing else........ higher maf hz = more air in, more air out....... regardless of any other readings.
You can use all the various sites then to run estimates of power at engine vs whats lost to come out with a RWHP/RWKW...... Helps I guess if you have your car dyno'd so you know where it 'was' before you try to get more I guess...... otherwise your flying blind.
