Cam angle question

Post by mladjan »

Hi guys,

I have a stock FN2 with groupe N map, with modified fuel table. I was targeting AFR 13:1 on WOT which gave me nice improvement, measured on dyno today.

Im interested to find out what is the reason of torque drop after 4500rpm, and by looking into map (attached) I can only see logical explanation in cam angle, where I have 46 angle in high torque position, and after changing angle to lower number it starts falling down torque.
Screenshot as example: https://cl.ly/0X143X0p2Z2c

My question is, how to correct this torque loss? Is 'ok' to keep 46 angle through rpms to keep the torque?

Please post a datalog with 3rd gear pull from ~2000 to Limiter based on your calibration!

I need to create this log. I have a log for this dyno graph in 5th?

In all cases: To find out the best torque you need pulls to the rev limiter with each locked VTC cam angle.

Adjust the cam angle index profile:
!!! (Calibration > VTC > Cam angel index high: 0 15 30 40 50)

You are using a 40°+ degree profile which the ignition and fuel tables are not tuned.
In your case:
VTC profile: 42-46 degree of VTC
Your ignition and fuel tables start at 40 degrees... So 40+ degrees are not tuned.


Hondata recommended tuning guideline:
#1 fix the cam angle profile on the high cam table (select all press "STRG + J" and enter "50" in the section: "Set selected values to..."
#2 tune the fueling each cam angle
#3 determine the best VTC power / torque on the dyno...
pull 1: lock 50 degree on the high cam and do a WOT
pull 2: lock 40 degree
pull 3: lock 30 degree ... etc.

... at the end you can determine your best power torque VTC profile for your engine.

Thx for response! I was looking at hondata videos and I know the process of tuning on dyno, but because renting dyno on few hours is expensive, will do this when I mount a supercharger in next few months. Just wanted to play a little bit with my N/A setup to understand what and why is happening :)

The dip in torque you have is common on a stock car. You will need a header to open up the midrange

Can I use this map on stock FN2 or it's risky?

Ok I used this map on stock FN2.
Could somebody please check my datalogs
