    Exclusive 2018 Mustang GT now supported.

    2018 Mustang GT Tuning support is now available in today's beta of VCM Suite.

    Here is a read from a 2018 Mustang GT Auto for you guys to poke around in.

    Great. Thanks for the hard work. Excited to see the gains from tuning on these.

    What I've wanted for a long time... Spark IAT correction based on alcohol percent. Noticed a few other cool things too but that is what stood out. That and the use of 4 knock sensors and Per Cylinder knock control from the factory.

    There are some interesting things in there like the fact that there are 4 different enrichment rates and wheel torque error is already raised decently over past acceptable OE levels...

    Not to change the subject Eric as I know y'all have been working around the clock, but any word on built in VVE tools or anything like that?

    Thank You Eric

    Manual control over the cams.

    a manifold charge temp sensor. I wonder if you can see that in the dash, and what kind of temps it is going to see.

    How many credits? Extra for TCM? Already been asked about tuning them and want a cost idea.

    Very nice, just emailed support about adding beta access once more, seems it's no longer only page and I'm stuck on beta 3.7.214

    There is no TCM. It's all in one module. 4 credits.

    One of the things i'm waiting to see if how we will log IDC, are we logging low and high side separate I'm assuming. Also it seems there are no inferred fuel pressure tables in the fuel system tab, this has to mean the car will have actual fuel pressure sensors to monitor pressure, one for HPFP feeding the DI injectors and one for the low side feeding the PI injectors

    Correct, two measurable pressures, just like on Ecoboost vehicles.
    PI still has injector pulsewidths that can be converted to an injector DC as desired. DI has a set injection window it can inject during, so an injector DC measure changes depending on window size. I.e. 330* window, I inject for 200*, that's 60.6% INJDC, but if its a 220* window, that's 90.9% INJDC. Tuning the DI system will be the same as any other DI Ford, finding an appropriate window size maximum, and almost certainly hitting the limit of the HPFP before injectors (i.e. able to drop the high pressure before you run out of window).

    Awesome, yeah, so we only have a certain window to spray fuel, that can work as out "duty cycle", but when you run out of fueling on the HPDI side we should be able to compensate using the PI injectors, that's what I'm excited to try out, If we can maintain pressure on the low side then we may be able to make big power with out needing to go with a return style fuel system on the PI side.

    Email support and request it, they will probably want your customer number too. They remove beta support pretty often now.
