    I have a nb2 with itbs running me221, is there a way I could check for the same problems with meite?

    • @TheCarPassionChannel
      @TheCarPassionChannel  2 года назад +17

      Yes, it's basically the same exact thing, especially since you can use the same program, Mega Log Viewer, to check your logs and verify that your final advance matches what the spark map is commanding (at least when it's supposed to). The only difference is that the titles of each metric will be different. I believe in the ME logs (I use an ME442 in my NB) what you want to compare is "Ign. Adv. Final" against "Ign. Adv. Base Out." If those are different, you can use the other "Ign." metrics to see what's adding or subtracting timing, and verify if you want it to do that or not. During cold start and idle are prime examples of when those 2 values might differ, but they are supposed to.

    Hey Greg, motorsport electronic tuning, Is their software just for their stand-a-lone units? Is there something that is pretty good for the stock ECU's? I know there is HP Tuners out there. The Dragy you talked about, do they have tuning software or do they just pull logs that you would use another software to edit/tune with? I do not have any time under the hood with software. It always been timing lights and carbs.

I've tried to play around with a base tune, but i was at 14° timing and set my timing in tuner studio at 14° as well.. It ran terribly 😅 had no idea standalone needs to be at 10. May have to give it another go. Also would i have to run my 93 out and start using 87 just to get a decent base tune done, then switch back to 93 once i got everything running good on 87 and im ready to mess with that set of tables? Or just stick to 93 and tune it from there? Complete noob when it comes to the electronics side of the car 😮‍💨

      In a nutshell, use Audacity to run a compressor, EQ to raise lows and highs, and amplify as needed to adjust overall volume +/-. Then in Premiere I use a High Pass Filter @ 100Hz to pretty much eliminate pops from blowing on the mic. (Could also be done in Audacity I'm sure)

    No tps would have meant that it's essentially running in 2D mode and using the 0 tps lines of the spark and fuel maps. This is definitely not the tuners fault here as he probably had no idea the TPS wasn't connected, although one of the 1st things I do is Check the TPS calibration as part of the initial checks. I have run engines without tps but drivability suffers badly.

    It works fine when the eng is less than 70c on fresh plugs but soon as it starts getting up to temp it just nopes out and wont start again hot or cold and fouls the plugs again
    Coil packs havent even got 30 mins run time on them since i changed them timing is fine put in new lead,cas, fulepump, fule pressure reg, injectors and still having issues with it
    Cant set the base idle speed cause it simply wont get up to temp and stay there only outher thing iv changed about the car is i pulled the maf for an intake temp sensor
