MPI Tuner Anyone?

[changedman]

I will be getting the MPI tuner with my kit. I can't wait!

how much boost you gonna run? Also since you are being sponsored by MAM..Can you talk to them about sponsoring a clutch deal for me!

LOL

Actually i emailed them for a quote/Sponsorship..and they haven't responded back yet!

To start off, 6psi.

As I work and learn more, I will be going higher. I will take it slow are careful to avoid blowing a second time.

chas- he is in california today. give him a day or two. when did u PM him.

Nick,

do you have aolim or some other way of contact other than on here? how big is this mpi tuner, where is it placed, and do i tell you the specs i want before and you tune it that way or do they all come the same way?

here's an old pic of how big it is.

I have had some people ask about the timing control. If your are driving the coils with the MPI Tuner you have complete control of the timing. If you type in -7 you have -7. If you type in 12 you have 12. It is a one to one when you drive the coils.


Hope this clears up any questions.


Thanks again

Thanks, that clears me up. For example if you have -2 on 4750rpms in a given load and the current stock timing @ that rpm is 24 then you have 22.

right?

Yes if you set it at -2 and the stock timing at that point is 24 you would now have 22 total. Also if you look at the sreen shot you will also see that we have boost retard in the amp scale. This will also retard the timing even more under boost. As the boost goes up the timing retard goes up.


Thanks again

Good, but, how the MPI know how much boost is going in. I mean, in that table, what imput uses the MPI to know where is it in the AMP scale in regards to the current boost?.

 

[Kooldino]

igdrasil - whatever is hooked up to that wire is what will tell it. Typically the MAF. In my case, it's a MAP sensor.

MPNick - when did you figure out the timing madness? How'd you come to that conclusion?

When the car is running at idle the red box is near the bottom of the Ign AMP scale. As you build boost it will climb to the top of the AMP scales. You can calibrate the AMP scales for your car. You set the min and max of the scale.

I want to do the MAP tunning.

I want to do the MAP tunning.

I would stick to the MAF. It is a better way to tune.

Thanks again

I ask the people that make the units for me.

(yes) I did the same. Thats why I decided to go the MPI route over the "phantom unit" (hump)

The unit is promising, looks like it got a boom this year! Im glad about the success.

But -7 what? What is the unit for the number? Is it degrees? As in 7 degrees retard?

THanks!

If you have -7 it means you are now -7 degrees of timing over the stock curve at that map point.

Nice. Thanks.

Well, technically it would be "under" the curve, right? Since you're retarding timing?

Have you NOTHING better to do?
