LinuxRacr's Haltech E6X Log..

[TurfBurn]

the haltech has control provisions for individual injector fuel trim - would not getting a good base map with the stock injectors like Nick said and then using the trim function with the larger injectors to even it out make sense? or am i looking at it all wrong?

No it is more proportional... you can't just bump it by x percent across the board.. has to be bumped more in various areas... just a weird thing of injectors... especially if you have an RRFPR

 

[TurfBurn]

these problems were my nightmares as well. Haltech works great when its warm, but when its cold it can be a b****. This is why i am looking into the aem or emanage...

-B

AEM will have the SAME problems. Same maps have to be adjusted. and it can't use autotune for startup. And I don't know what emanage will get you.... if you want to go piggy then buy Nick's MPI as that will do a far better job than the EManage ever will. Otherwise if you only want to do fuel I have a secondary option I can make available as well... but would run about 800-900.

dont take this as a criticism against you, but its all about the tune, has nothing to do with the design of the hardware itself

attached are pics of the changes i made to the air temp correction. i dropped it down ALOT across the board. the first attachment is the one Linux sent me and the second one shows the changes i made.

I'm surprised at how linear you guys have those graphs... I know when I got mine right they were FAR from linear.... but it could just be the way things are stacking.

mine is not so linear, i just wanted to give him a good place to start from.

Wow pat..this is crazy..with the startup issues..i am glad i decided to go w/ piggy back..the weather in NJ if fucken crazy..one day it's 50degrees..and the next it's 15...i could only imagine..what would happen in the summer...

Good luck & keep us updated!

hes had it for like 2 days people, once he gets it tuned there wil be no startup issues. why is this so hard to realize?

 

[vindication]

how would someone like us in the north east deal with this with major changes in temp? just change from one map to another? I knew this was gonna be hard, but I think it's gonna be harder than I thought.

 

[Dexter]

Ken has it working fine and we are in chicago, it gets pretty cold here too, ya know.

 

[RyanJayG]

it is just the temperature calibration map that needs to be set. when it was proffesionally tuned the other day it was perfect, but obviously you can't tune for different temperatures in one day. and at $300 its too much to go back over and over again when the temperature changes. therefore he just has to learn how to adjust the temp map himself.

give him some time already people

colder than texas and toronto is colder than both of us, yet we both have working systems and some how its still implied the unit can't handle the weather.

wow. its just like that here by the great lakes and holy s*** my car runs fine without starting issues. must be all in how you tune it....maybe? possibly?

No man... it's really simple.. you just have to get the correction maps right.. then it's golden.. you go through this ONCE... after you have all the correction points lined up you are all good to go and the car will run regardless of conditions... it's tuning... plain and simple tuning. Nothing big about it.. nothing hard.. just a matter of making the adjustments and getting it right... that's why people like Ken and I are happy to help.. we've been through it and know what it takes... and once you do it once it's easy to do a second time.. .

LOL.. Ken is getting annoyed now

cool. thanks for not jumpin down a tunning noob's throat people.

I hope that wasn't sarcastic as I hope I didn't sound like I was being harsh! I had to learn it too... so I'm happy to help at any time with any system.

And on a humorous note... I got asked last week to tune a 70's supercharged Camaro... I'll be doing that sometime this spring.. should be entertaining.. should be in the 500+ range for horsepower.. Talk about a departure from tuning the FS motor

 

[vindication]

no, no sarcasm. I appreciate the answers.

sorry, did it show ? i think the same misconceptions in this thread have been corrected by the same information by different people a million times now. its like a cassette that you need to rewind and play back. reminds me of the scene from Stone's JFK; "back...and to the left, back...and to the left, back..."

bottom line - its been negative 10 degrees fahrenheit here on several days and each day i have been able to go out to my car, put a key in the ignition, start it up and drive it away. its been fifty degrees here and I have been able to do the same thing. why? because i made myself a decent map.

standalone or piggyback - doesn't matter beans if the map isn't good.

patrick send me the map to my mailbox.

If you are tuning with the haltech, no need to change maps.

If you look at the screenshots that Ken Posted you can see that the temperature range available to adjust runs all the way up and down the scale. When summertime gets here, it will just be a matter of adjusting cold starts for those temps.
