When I tried spraying at the track on stage 1, I lost 1mph, turn it off, gained 1mph, I did this for 4 passes and got the same exact results trap speed wise.
Are you talking about the cobb with race gas/meth? Logically thinking, the cooler intake temps would probably lower the boost to hit the same load target...Technically thinking, though, everything kept the same, a cooler intake charge (post turbo) will increase power at the same boost...

and enrita aren't you the same person who i was just told blew your motor with the jb3 ??

what do you think about him using jb4 to control his meth???

thanks for this thread and info guys... just saved me some money and time!!!!
Normally he would be best off letting the JB4 control everything but due to the cars problem with misfires and AFR targeting using the procede and JB4 he decided the custom flash tuning made the most sense for his needs. Then using the JB4 on top of the flash for meth control, accurate logs, in dash stuff and the rest until he has some other way of doing it.

The afr problems is not just his car, there are tons of people experiencing the same thing, they simply don't realize it.

The misfiring thing, thats unique to his car and I personally thing something is "off"

The logging thing, it is only with the recent firmware thats not buttoned up yet due to cobb completly changing the map sensor function.

That's some nice results Dzenno.

I just wish that COBB would develop a failsafe integration or something for our cars so that we don't need to stack any other tune on top. Maybe a piggyback module just to control the meth that communicates directly with the AP.

I know Rob is a fan of race gas, but I think that to really get the meth junkies aboard the COBB train, you need a meth map. And I for one refuse to run meth without proper failsafes.

Good info dzenno and nice runs. Can't wait for cobb to get stage 2 finalized and start working on those upgraded turbo/meth/race maps for some records. Well, actaully, them not having them out is the only reason I havent pulled the trigger on some RBs. Hopefully by next summer.

At least you're trying something different!

On a brighter note, I ran a 12.8@114 misfiring into 4th that same day
I actually felt really good last night for the sole reason that my launches got consistently better and better, finally something I can use absolutely LOVE the AR line lock and my MT DRs...i also realized the huge potential in the car and that the misfire BS is indeed a diagnosticly induced code/condition which can be dealt with at a later point in time/during winter which is ever so closer

I will try to show up to the track the next time you head out Dzenno, would like to see everything go down in person.
Sure man, i'll make a thread in the Canada section next time I go...probably very soon as we've got 2 more Wednesday nights before it closes for winter and a few more Friday nights before it closes entirely for winter...time to take advantage of the clean/cool Canadian air up here

Exactly...and my ambient temp last night was at 14C (57F), don't need meth there other than if you're using it for octane but I was already on 94 pump gas and my meth, according to my flow sensor, flowed only a third of what it should've

It's not your typical meth bump in power, but almost the same as racing in extremely great weather conditions.
It did jack shit last night

You do really need the timing advance to take full advantage of race gas and/or meth. I'm sure it will be awhile for Cobb, or they'll just let ATR peeps mess with it.

EDIT: actually just noticed that Cobb is working on race/meth maps.
Thanks man! yep a custom race map will be awesome...thing is though I'd like to have the ability to run "close" to that ALL OUT race map on the street with pump gas and meth...that's what I'm playing with now...the stage 2 map from Cobb for example is a great pump gas map but on meth, which I run 99% of the time, more boost and timing can be squeezed out...for me to run it all the time I'd like to have it wired in with meth flow and something that'll raise boost when meth flow is there and thus this little pet project

well, glad I helped you choose your tune but I don't see how anything I said could've suggested any particular tune as that wasn't the point of this thread at all LOL but good for you..

Totally agree. I always was PRO-progressive meth mapping and still like it more than "dedicated" flash maps which require reflashes...until then I'm trying to do my best with what's available and IMO many ingredients are there, trick is getting them to work together in harmony, away from the forum bullshit, in the absolute best way possible which to me means none other but fucking repeatable high 10s lol but it won't be easy that's for sure

thanks buddy...everything needs time and I don't mind waiting when I can also have good times playing with what's available in the interim

So, here's the logs of what actually went down last night...take a look at boost, boost targets, DME (flash) boost target, meth and timing...you'll see that meth is hitting "2" on the graph when it should be hitting "6"...so jb4 doesn't up boost by more than 1-1.5psi progressively at best...first graph shows just cobb stage 3, second graph shows cobb with jb4 adding a bit of boost but very little and not enough to flat out that boost curve as there wasn't enough meth according to the meth flow sensor...

Cobb stg3 only (basically a pump gas tune):




Cobb with JB4 adding a bit of boost on top when it sees meth flow but only a bit...you can see exactly how much boost was added by looking at DME BT (cobb's flash target) and Target (JB4's boost target) as well as Pre-Boost (actual boost that was being hit)...you can see timing went to shit here in 4th gear, post shift, as boost was too high and engine was too hot probably as meth wasn't there...



You can also see that IATs didn't come down but kept creeping up meaning meth indeed wasn't flowing fully because if it was IATs would've been stable and not rising through the pull...had I not run meth and had the JB4 just up boost ignoring the meth flow sensor it might've been bye bye to my motor last night but this way it'll die another day

Oh, and WHO changed the title of my thread and added JB to it as well LOL should've pasted my whole sig up there!

god those crayon jb logs are ridiculous to look at. I think my 6 year old cousin drew logs very similar to those once - but they were a bit more smooth


can't you bring that data into excel or something and graph it out better?

If anything just make 3 graphs and display 3 items in each graph (with thicker lines). Do it terry

Nice going dzenno. I am not sure why you trying to reinvent the wheel by going the flash route. I think thus far I am the only person that has run a eleven with a flash tune only. The tuning part was effortless. I then plugged in the Procede and ran near identical times.

Deleting fault triggers is like a pandoras box. At this stage you have done your thing for the misfires but how do you know your tuner is not clearing other things along the way to make the flash work on the larger turbos?

Great run indeed, a lot of posts have been deleted or what as i see Dzenno replying to posts that i didnt come across. Anyway the haters can go away. Im excellent at reading Jb4 logs and these look good.
No matter what time you got or traps, man i would never contribute or test the fuck out of my car as much as you or the time you put in, do you have a job? lol

Good job! I know how frustating it can be tuning a car. But those times are very impressive, especially the mph.

I been stuck in the low 11's for ever and I cant wait to get into the 10's in my car.

Hey I see youre a Mostar fan, are you from Bosna?

Thanks George. As for why flash and why bother its really simple. I can't tun them alone. I can send/post logs of both procede v5 rev 2 and 2.5 and jb4 on latest firmware showing leanruns at part throttle and post shift. I can't run those safely and consistently in terms of AFR on my car when on high boost period. I "need" the flash to set the AFR targets, piggies can't do it to my liking. If you like I can post them in a new thread but trust me THAT is what would open a pandora's box and not turning off misfire detection on my own request.

Question to you is how do you trust your piggie with AFRs when I know for a fact that on high boost you'll have leanruns? Let's please not go there in this thread and I don't want to participate in that convo, just do some high boost logging on a piggie and check for yourself what happens with AFR at initial throttle stab as well as post shift.
