If the LTFT-Lo is at a constant +12.5% and STFT is at +13%, add +26% to the 50 Hz slider in the airflow table. Repeat until you are happy. </p> </div> <h1>Rev Tuning (STFT) 150hz</h1> <div class="level1"> <ol> <li class="level1"> After you are done with idle tuning, rev the engine and keep it at the 150 Hz level.</li> <li class="level1 node"> Watch your STFT's for needed adjustments.<ul> <li class="level2"> If STFT fuel trims are positive, add air at the 150 Hz point in the airflow table.</li> <li class="level2"> If STFT fuel trims are negative, subtract air at the 150 Hz point in the airflow table.</li> <li class="level2"> Adjust the airflow 1% for each 1% fuel trims are adjusting fuel.</li> </ul> </li> </ol> <p> Example: If STFT’s are bouncing between +14% and +16%, add +15% to the 150 Hz slider in the airflow table. Repeat until you are happy. </p> </div> <h1>Cruise Tuning (LTFT-Mid +OR+ LTFT-Hi) 250hz</h1> <div class="level1"> <ol> <li class="level1 node"> Drive on the freeway at a steady speed to get stable fuel trims.<ul> <li class="level2"> If the fuel trim is positive, add air at the 250 Hz point in the airflow table.</li> <li class="level2"> If fuel trim is negative, subtract air at the 250 Hz point in the airflow table.</li> <li class="level2"> Adjust the airflow 1% for each 1% fuel trims are adjusting fuel.</li> </ul> </li> </ol> <p> Example: If the fuel trim is at a constant +7%, add +7% to the 250 Hz slider in the airflow table. Repeat until you are happy. </p> </div> <h1>WOT Tuning (A/F Ratio, WBO2, & MAFRaw) 400hz, 800hz, 1200hz, 1600hz, 2000hz, 2400hz</h1> <div class="level1"> <ol> <li class="level1"> It is easier to do this if A/F Ratio is right above WBO2 in the DSMLink application.</li> <li class="level1"> After a 3rd gear pull from 1500rpm to redline study the relationship between A/F Ratio and WBO2 at each MAFRaw Hz point.</li> <li class="level1 node"> Adjust the airflow at each MAFRaw Hz point in the Airflow Table using the associated Hz point in the log.<ul> <li class="level2"> When A/F Ratio is richer than WBO2 add airflow. OR when A/F Ratio is below WBO2 on the graph, add airflow to move A/F Ratio up. OR when you want more fuel, add more airflow.</li> <li class="level2"> When A/F Ratio is leaner than WBO2 subtract airflow. OR when A/F Ratio is above WBO2 on the graph, subtract airflow to move A/F Ratio down. OR when you want less fuel, subtract airflow.</li> <li class="level2"> For each 0.10 A/F Ratio is off, adjust by 1% airflow.</li> </ul> </li> </ol> <p> Example: You make a pull and you get the following results: </p> <span class='np_break'> </span> <div class="table"><table class="inline"> <thead> <tr class="row0"> <th class="col0"> MAFRaw (hz) </th><th class="col1"> 400 </th><th class="col2"> 800 </th><th class="col3"> 1200 </th><th class="col4"> 1600 </th><th class="col5"> 2000 </th><th class="col6"> 2400 </th> </tr> </thead> <tr class="row1"> <td class="leftalign"> A/F Ratio </td><td class="rightalign"> 9.3</td><td class="rightalign"> 9.5</td><td class="rightalign"> 9.4</td><td class="rightalign"> 9.2</td><td class="rightalign"> 9.3</td><td class="rightalign"> 9.5</td> </tr> <tr class="row2"> <td class="leftalign"> WBO2 </td><td class="col1"> 11.0</td><td class="col2"> 12.0</td><td class="rightalign"> 10.7</td><td class="rightalign"> 9.6</td><td class="rightalign"> 9.6</td><td class="rightalign"> 9.4</td> </tr> <tr class="row3"> <td class="leftalign"> Adjustment </td><td class="col1"> +17%</td><td class="col2"> +25%</td><td class="rightalign"> +13%</td><td class="rightalign"> +4%</td><td class="rightalign"> +3%</td><td class="rightalign"> -1%</td> </tr> </table> <span class='np_break'> </span> </div> </div> <h1>Notes</h1> <div class="level1"> <ul> <li class="level1"> With this method my fuel trims are both with-in 1% of zero and my A/F Ratio are WBO2 shadow each other with-in 1-2% for an entire pull.</li> <li class="level1"> LTFT-Lo tends to be slightly unstable, so do not go crazy trying to get it perfect. With-in 3% of each other and with-in 5% of zero is acceptable.</li> <li class="level1"> Some changes to the Airflow Table at the 150 Hz point maybe needed when "cruise tuning."</li> <li class="level1"> Adjustment to any slider in the airflow table WILL affect the two sliders adjacent to it.</li> <li class="level1"> For me, getting the 400 Hz point perfect created a nasty dip at the untunable 500-600 Hz range. Tuning the 500 Hz point using the 400 Hz point in the Airflow Table worked much better.</li> <li class="level1"> Sometimes tuning using a HZ point 100 more than what you are tuning, works better. So, instead of 1200 Hz sometimes using 1300 Hz works better. </li> <li class="level1"> This is not the "Ideal, Perfect" way to tune a MAFT, but it was sure easy. As with any tuning the main problem arises with boost leaks and fuel delivery discrepancies. So long as you have no boost leaks and your fuel system is working properly, this is an extremely easy and viable way to tune a MAFT.</li> </ul> </div>
