Thread: bucking @ light throttle

  1. #1

    bucking @ light throttle

    Ive been fine tuning my current tune on my C7, and notice im getting bucking under very light thottle at low RPMs. From the log it looks like torque manament is pulling timing about 12 degrees causing this bucking sensation. But why? can someone please take a look at this log/tune and guide me in the right direction. Im a noob so please be detailed and dont use big words....hahaha. =D

    Without digging too deep, torque model and DD are the big two players. If you have a high stall converter there are a couple of background tables that can cause this in lower gears. I know your VE is wrong - look at it in 3d format - big spike in the lighter throttle lower load that needs to be fixed. I know the torque model is wrong - nose diving pretty good for idle without any corrections off idle - doesn't coincide with your air models. DD looks stock below high loads. All of those will play into what you're seeing and feeling. Then sometimes it's dang near impossible to get rid of all of it....

    7-11 seconds in that log it actually looks like there may be a problem on bank 2. Need a longer data log that 16 seconds to determine.

    I guess i forgot to mention the mods on the car, but i edited the post. FBO btr 225 ccam, stock converter A6. The VTT was lowered in the idle areas for stalling at stops and seems to help. I lowered VTT in the idle areas -- 0 and 550-750-950 rpms and also at 800 in the same rpms then interpolate vert, then took about 3 rows from the whole 0-800 and interpolated horiz to get what i have now. about 35%. just not sure what to change at this point to stop the tq man adv.

    Yeah this tune is a combination of my previous tuner and my own stuff. alot i put back to stock, but for some reason, the previous tuner changed the whole tables of map b and C, and only the wot areas for A.

    This is a 17 vette I'm tuning right now with the 225 cam, long tubes and a manual tranny.

    Log with light throttle. I should note where you see it dropping slightly to the left, he's actually closing throttle down to 3% at those points, so timing is stable. Fueling and final torque is also still getting corrected and will continue getting tweaked until fueling is right.

    His idle timing and throttle. Again, fueling and torque are still getting tweaked.

    So again, fix all of these and it should get you pretty close. Everything changes torque. Don't care if it's a cai. If it requires remapping the air models, torque is changing. It's just some things are more intrusive to it.

    Is the bucking worse at 1500-2200?

    There is a huge hump in your VVE table in that spot.

    My idle timing seems okay, however i do have some tq man adv at idle, i thought that was normal? it goes away when i start to accelerate but comes back at the low throttle inputs where the bucking occurs.

    I see how smooth your airmass VTT looks, ill try to replicate. Im still working on VVE table everyday. my idles areas are good, around 5% give or take. just gotta do some more WoTs and cruise.

    I just double checked.. and it absolutely does have that ramp

    see image.. you can see your file name in it.

    What are the numbers in the table?

    thats weird tho, why dont i see it on my file??? Trying to smooth out my VTT atm...getting real close

    wait ...after looking at your screen shot, your rpm axis is different than mine.

  17. #17
    VVE.PNG idk dont know if that makes a difference.....it shows like 2500 ish in those columns on your guys screenshots, i dont see that in the rpm ranges on my file....so weird.

    The problem is your other axis. It only goes down to 0.3 instead of 0.1. The problem is between 0.1 and 0.3, and you don't show those lines. Change your pressure ratio axis.

    The rpm isn't the real problem, it's the map axis and the fact that yours doesn't read below 0.30 that is the real problem.

    Double check to see if your zone definitions have been changed under the dynamic tab then it should be the regular 1 bar map config once the ve table is opened.
