So, I'll start with the goal. I'm trying to make a drivable burble tune. I have gone the route of disabling DFCO and pulling a ton of timing in the main (and min) spark tables. The car drives like crap when I do this. Rolling back onto the gas is super jerky. The way I actually want it to work is I want a bunch of pops, bangs, and cracks when I let off the gas and I transition into DFCO. I'm aware I will most likely get flamed for this. I know it's not for everyone.
Now before someone says "just lower the values in the min spark tables in the cells corresponding to deceleration", I have done this. My car basically will pull timing until it hits around 0 degrees, and then it stops pulling timing. This creates some gurgling and small pops, which is nice, but I want more. That said, it doesn't matter how much lower I put the minimum spark tables, it stops pulling timing around 0 degrees. I could set the minimum spark cells to -30....no change.
I also noticed that it doesn't matter what I run in the main tables. I could have them set to 5 degrees or I can set them to 35 degrees, on decel my car just pulls timing until it's around 0 and then stops.
Now, I know the Gen IV cars have DFCO entry and exit spark control, as well as DFCO entry delay. I don't see anything like that in the Gen V tables. I'm assuming that torque management is handling this somewhere (please correct me if I'm wrong). The question is, where is this happening and how can I change it? Basically I want the car to continue pulling timing on decel down to whatever I have the minimum values set to (let's say -20 degrees for full blown gunshots). But when I roll back onto the gas, I want it to use my main spark table. I noticed in my logs that my car will sit around 0.16-0.18g cylinder airmass on decel. However, the airmass doesn't change until I'm at least 10% back on the throttle. So, if I run negative timing in those cells in the main spark tables, the car hesitates and jerks as I roll back onto the throttle until I'm on the throttle enough to increase the cylinder airmass (basically need to be at least 10-15% back on the throttle). So, as I mentioned before, I just want to figure out how/where the car knows to only pull timing on decel/DFCO entry, and I want to tell it to pull more.
I hope I have explained this well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've read a bunch of other threads on here, and I've learned a lot. I just still can't get the car to do what I want it to do, and my existing burble tune is pretty awful from a drivability standpoint.
Thanks!
