View Full Version : Is it possible to force leaner AFR in closed loop?

HI..

I am going to be tuning aftermarket cams in my STi.. am running Kelford 276/272's...

I tune with StreetTUNER for RT and Enginuity for the base maps.

I want to know if there is any way to force a more lean AFR during closed loop easy crusing... has anyone figured out how to do this with the stock ECU?

Thanks,

Jeff B

yes, it can be done. it is under the Fuel tab in enginuity. look for it.

If you look under closed loop in enginuity you will see a heading for closed loop fueling, it is there you change the AFR. You may need to change the tip in fueling to stop any engine judder , this is what I did and on cruise I could get another 30-40 miles out of a tank at about 70 mph

This is not for the 32-bit ECU, though (OP has an 05 STi). Also, if the parameter is under the "closed loop" category then you are using old ECU definitions and you should update to the latest (will be under fueling category).

Yea... not finding any direct input fueling tables in closed loop tab... seems to only allow changing parameters that control when the ECU exits closed loop...

sorry off topic... I am getting a warning box every-time I open my ROM.. it says that a "newer version of this ECU revision exists"... so I downloaded it and I want to know if there is any way to "copy" the values in the modified ROM (old ECU version) to the new (without having to copy every table one by one)

Thanks

You still need to update the ECU (and logger) definitions:

You should not tune with old definitions because each update often contains important bug fixes, not to mention new tables and ecu support.

It is not necessary to update to a newer ROM revision unless there is something specific that will be solved in your particular case with the newer revision, which is why the newer ECU defs have eliminated that "newer revision" message from appearing. Yes, you will have to manually transfer your tune, table by table, to the newer revision if you choose to go that route. I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you know what you're doing (i.e. it is your own tune and you know what you changed). You should be fine with the older revision (although we don't know exactly what changed in the 05 revisions as it is missing from SOA change list).

Very good info.. I updated with no problem.. thanks a BUNCH for the post...

Jeff,

As mentioned in that EGT post on IWSTI that I referenced, you still cannot change the closed loop AFR (1.0 lambda) target with the 32-bit roms using Enginuity (even if you are using the latest defs).

Yes, this was already mentioned in post 4 of this thread. Regardless, users should always update to the latest defs.

Ok sorry for the duff info , I don't tend to "upgrade" software for the sake of it , if somthing works I leave it alone (software wise)

Sorry to drag this back up, but Im looking for the stoich table, and perhaps I just dont know the actual name Im looking for. I have the latest definitions, I believe, 0.8.0b. I just dont seem to see the a table that lets me adjust stoichiometric. Car is a 2006 WRX.

The 32bit ECUs don't allow adjustment of CL target.

Ouch. I guess thats why I cant find it then.

I guess my other option is shifting over the "Front Oxygen Sensor Scaling" table to trick it into seeing stoich as a slightly higher voltage (or is it really milli-amperage). Has anyone gone this route?

Didn't someone on enginuity.org shift the lambda definition for the front O2 sensor? They would need to shift the MAF scale too but only for low MAFv. It seems kind of complicated plus the transition between CL and OL would be tricky.

You can skew the front O2 sensor scaling and this will have the desired affect. Keep in mind this will not make you log a different front O2 sensor reading. It will go to 14.7, but you'll actually be running 15.0 or 15.5 or whatever based on how much you skew it. This would work on either 32bit DBW or the old 2L.

It will also tilt your fuel trims, and you'll have to decide how you compensate for this. You could change injector size, or just deal with fuel trims being slightly more negative.

And since tuning different intake MAF scales is based on having an accurate injector size, you could end up skewing airflow and load.

Pardon my interruption...
I have never heard of this list until now, is there anywhere I could look at this and maybe learn more about what the different SOA revs do for my car specifically (03 WRX)? I changed to the -400 rev a long time ago and never really knew why, i figured a higher number = new = better, all of the tables visible through Enginuity were identical so it must have been some unused (by us) stuff that changed.

Thanks

It is somewhere on the openecu site. I think it was posted by "Jon [in CT]". It doesn't list every change and the descriptions are vague most of the time.

Ohhhhh, I know exactly what you're talking about and I've seen it before. From what I remember it didn't have anything useful that I could find, and didn't have any info on the -401 map I was considering switching to.

Thanks for the help
