2009 Civic Si IHE Basemap

[AnnonZerp]

Hello, I'm working on a base map for my 09 civic si with AEM V2 SRI,1320 header, and fullrace exhaust. I used a map from a previous thread as a start and have been adjusting the fueling, it isn't perfect and there were a couple of knocks. I'm mainly looking for some input/feedback and possible help adding the finishing touches.

Since you're using my file, do you want help from me? What fueling adjustments are you making?

The knock you see only takes some simple adjustments to get rid of. Not sure what your goal with the AFR is. How many revisions have you made now?

I do a few things different in the tunes now over the file you have. If you want we can tune yours completely for your car, or make adjustments to this tune if you want. It's up to you.

I haven't made many changes mainly added some fuel in lean spots. Trying to learn a little bit, and was using your map as a guide

If we could tune completely for the car that would be great. I just want the car to run as best as it possibly can

[EFICU]

No problem. I'm glad you found one that was that close, everything looks really good considering it was built from another car.

So, the proper way to tune them is to tune each cam angle individually. We lock it on one cam angle, make a datalog, make adjustments. Then onto the next cam angle and so forth. It takes 4-6 revisions to tune each cam angle, then we blend out the cam angle map and dial in everything over a few more files. Usually takes about 10-12 revisions to get it to where it's dialed. If you want to do that let me know and I will send you the first file. If you don't want to spend that much time on it, we can work on the one you have now. Just let me know.

I don't mind the time aspect, would rather take longer and have it done the proper way.

[EFICU]

Okay good. I prefer to do it the long route since it's the proper way to do it. Although I am glad the complete files at least get you guys into a ballpark with your tune right away. What octane fuel do you run?

So here is the first calibration for you. This will be the 0* cam angle with vtec at 5500. Take it for a 20 minute datalog of normal type stop and go driving to populate the most data possible. Then do your WOT pull from 2500-8600 like you did in your other datalog. Looks like you learned the protocol from the other threads which is good too. Keep the WOT pull to only one pull for the first few revisions while we tune each cam angle, I like to be safe while we tune each cam angle so you're not out making pull after pull on suboptimal fuel tables. Once we get to revision 5-6 I will let you get after it once we get everything blended out.

I run 91 octane although 93 is available at certain stations. 3rd gear pull is in the middle

[EFICU]

Not bad for a start. Had some pretty good knock, so I cleaned up a lot of areas for that. Take this one for another datalog with the third gear pull and we'll see how it looks. This is the 0* cam still with vtec at 4000 now.

[EFICU]

Here you go, sorry I made a few changes and can't update the post.

Heres the new log, this time at night coming back from work while the iats are lower

[EFICU]

Looks good. Made some adjustments for fuel and knock. Now we will move onto the 15* cam angle. Same type of datalogs in length and driving, with the third gear WOT pull.

Sorry for the delay. Here's the new datalog, definitely feels smoother.

[EFICU]

You're okay. It's looking really good. I made mistake on the cam angle map in that last revision, I had you on the 15 cam for low cam settings and 30 on the high cam. This one, I will have you on the 30 cam for low cam operation and 15 for the high cam, that way we don't have to send you out to make an additional datalog for nothing. So take this one for a drive, same type of driving and datalog on this one. Two more revisions after this and we blend it out to see how it will run, which should be pretty strong, so we're almost to the point where it becomes fun. It looks great though, everything is incredibly consistent which is excellent!

New datalog. It's quite hot today should be a good reference for iats in a sub-optimal scenario.

Yeah it looks good. Here is the next one, 40* cam now, same driving type and datalog. Made a few fuel changes and some ignition for the knock we saw.
