That one felt better / less wonky lol. I think I did two 3rd gear WOT pulls. let me know how that one looked or if I need to do anything different.

Yeah it will get better. The knock control is really high because of the check engine light before, as that comes down it will feel stronger too.

That one looked good. We will now move to the 15* cam angle with vtec at 4500. Take this one for another twenty minute datalog with a clean third gear pull just like that last one and we'll see how it looks.

Yeah it looks like it's running solid now. The 0* cam sucks, but it's so important to build a base with less moving parts. But yeah, it definitely looks to run pretty hard on that 15* cam angle which is great. All looked good in a datalog, I made the normal adjustments as we move up. We will now move to the 30* cam angle with vtec at 5500 now. We will move vtec up and down over the next two revisions to find an optimal vtec rpm and tune fuel for before and after that rpm. Take this one for the same type of datalog.

In the first datalog there were a couple pending codes because of the Acuity intake. I forgot to change a couple settings for the Acuity. The Acuity technically make the ECU think there is an intake leak and some other things because of how it's designed. So we needed to change a couple settings that I forgot to do. Nothing unsafe, just things that store codes because of the intake. But it's all good now, and everything is looking good. We'll see how the next one looks.

alright, lets see how that one looks. I'm not sure if it pulled as hard or not.

No it wouldn't pull as hard with vtec at 5500 and running the 30* cam angle to redline. That's why these locked cam angles show you where the engine is making power and where it falls off. We will now do one on the 30* cam angle with vtec at 4000. This might be the last locked cam angle, then we blend it all out to see how it runs with proper cam angle rotation.

Yeah it looks good. I've gone in and blended out all the cam angle mapping and vtec looks to be happiest at 4500. With the cam angle blended now, it should feel strong all over again especially in WOT. It's not locked on one cam angle anymore, so the lack of power you were noticing should be gone. Anyways, take it for a spin when you can. It's plenty safe to have fun with, just be sure to get a clean third gear WOT pull and shoot for twenty minutes. Other than that, feel free to have some fun with it, just be safe.

the car felt pretty good overall. I noticed something after I stopped recording. I'm not sure if its a function of fp or whatever but when I pushed the "set" button on the steering wheel the tack went all goofy and etc, is that normal? I thought I had cruise control on and was going to set it, thats how I found out lol. I just normally leave cruise control on so when I hit set I'm good. the car seemed a little different after that but I'm sure thats in my head just want to make sure I didnt screw anything up.

It looks like you posted the wrong datalog, or the latest calibration wasn't uploaded before driving it. This datalog is still running Rev05. Double check everything and see what you can come up with.

What you're experiencing with the set button is the tach acting like an AFR gauge.

That most recent datalog 0006 is the same as the previous one. I can tell it has Rev05 in it because the only cam angle it's following is 30*. The cam angle map is blended now meaning it should be following a cam angle map from rev06 using multiple cam angles, but it's not following the tables from rev06. No big deal, load up Rev06 when you can and take it for a spin.

No problem at all. That one was definitely it, it looks really good. I made a couple small tweaks, but it's pretty much there. Take this one for a spin when you can and we'll see how it looks. You don't need to make any more aimless datalogs unless you want to, feel free to datalog when you need to go somewhere if you want. With gas prices it's a little expensive to be running around making datalogs, but if you want to go ahead.

Awesome! I'll throw it on when I get home. I appreciate all the help! I was dreading the whole "e-tuning" process but it actually worked out better than I expected. The car feels strong and responsive. So I shouldn't have any issues going forward? Will changing the plugs have any effect on the tune? the car has just over 75k on it but I was just going to change them when I do the valve cover shortly down the road because i'll be right in that area with the cowl off and not sure how the previous owner drove the car.
