better logging graphs

dirtmaster666 · 05-03-2011, 12:01 AM

i very new to this and i was wondering if someone could tell me more abpout hese graphs..are they good, are they bad, can i add more boost etc.i really trying to figure out how to read these and any input would be aweswome. only thing i noticed is that i have my boost set at 14 and from what i can tell my boost graph doesnt hit that once. am i doing something wrong?

Make sure your oil temp is over 170F before doing logs. If not, you will be limited to under 10psi of boost. It can sometimes take some time for the car to warm up. Annoying, but necessary.

You have some nasty timing dropouts, especially for stock boost. Take another log with the car warmed up and post for us to see.

my boost gauge was reading 14 pounds when i was logging.

dirtmaster666 · 05-03-2011, 12:27 AM

the drop outs at 7 and thirteen seconds were due to shift and like i said car was warm and reading 14 on my boost/fuel guage. where are the other dropouts at?

You should plot "Boost" instead of CAN DME Boost Actual. The latter is what boost the DME perceives, not actual boost. And you may want to drop boost to 13psi and start logging from there. Better to start off conservative and then work your way upward. And it's going to take more than just 1 log to determine if the tune is too aggressive or too conservative. And all you have is a dual cone and cat-back (no IC or downpipes), you will want to be more conservative boost pressures. Especially now that summer is coming.

I also noticed that your Throttle blade is closing quite a bit. That is almost always a sign of traction control interference. And this will make ignition advance drop out as well.

Actually, I'm looking at the timing dropouts between 9 and 11. That's something you definitely DON'T want to see!

Do a log of a 3rd gear WOT run. You shouldn't have traction issues and it will be better to see how the car is handling the tune. Then we will be able to see if you need to run a lower boost. As temperatures increase you may have to gradually lower the boost. Your location says Edmonton, is that Canada, Kentucky, or someplace else?

That's what I figured, so you don't have to worry as much about the temperature. Its still fairly cool up there so with 93 and the dci I still think you are good with running 14 psi. When you get a chance though do a log of just 3rd gear from about 3k to redline. I was running 14.1 with just the dci during late winter/early spring without any issues.
