Title: 01.5 S4 Pulling Timing(10deg sometimes) Under Load Only holding 15 PSI 91 Octane Post by: AustinLee on January 17, 2017, 10:32:30 AM I havent posted on here in awhile. Was having some boost issues so i did some data logging after swapping my N75. Boost seems ok; however ever since ive had the car, it seems to have alot of knock, and timing pull. Any ideas as to what might be the cause?
Sometimes Pulling 10 degrees.. Brand new coils BRKE's gapped at .024 15 PSI peak according to the data 91 Octane Fuel IAT's are super low, 0-5C? it was really cold outside when i took this file. Boost Leak tested to 18 PSI no issues It feels very smooth, It used to peak at 18PSI when i had the old N75, but it was shot. Boost would sweep all over. Now it peaks and holds pretty much at 15. Ive also reasearched quite a bit and am wondering what normal knock values should be? Max of 20v?15v? 30v? Some people also say if your car is puling timing its fine as long as its not too much, i know the ECU cant pull more than 12 deg, but sometimes mine pulls 10 so im a little worried. From what ive read peoples stock cars pull 3-4 sometimes? Im currently trying to upload the data but its not letting me. I will in the first response. Thanks for all the responses!

I dont get why i had to trim the files data all the way down to 792 kb....? i thought the limit was 29000.

Who's tune is this? you must have coded ecuxplot to deal with these log files that were imported into excel and resaved. OP, please post a raw log from ME7L. Do not open and save in excel, it completely fucks the CSV format.

Supposedly it was a GIAC tune? I have the ECU file i pulled from my car. Would i be able to tell if it was from GIAC by looking at it? Is there something special that they do to denote anything? Or is it just up in the air whos tune it is?

I cut the file size in half, and it still wont let me post with the attachment. The original file is only 10 mb, so im not sure what the issue is? Any idea what the issue might be with this?

I have zipped it. It is now attached. What did you mean by "No point in further logging?" Sorry if its obvious, im just not catching on?

I cant get mine to look like this...

Filter settings: minimum rpm range of run: 3500 (ignore short pulls) minimum throttle: 20 (ignore throttle cut) Title: Re: 01.5 S4 Pulling Timing(10deg sometimes) Under Load Only holding 15 PSI 91 Octane Post by: AustinLee on January 17, 2017, 01:17:09 PM Just saying it isn't as if you can alter the tune. Filter settings: minimum rpm range of run: 3500 (ignore short pulls) minimum throttle: 20 (ignore throttle cut) I gotcha. Yeah I do need to work on the tune. Ok though, i know i should just start with an mbox tune and go from there but id like to start with what i have already. Ive been told that if it indeed does have a GIAC tune on it everything is jumbled when i read the ECU and i wont be able to tune it correctly? This is to protect their tune from being stolen of course. How do i make sure i dont have a GIAC tune on it? Thanks!

Ok say i didnt want to tune it. What do you think my current issue is with the car? With it pulling timing? I cant seem to figure out why its pulling timing?

Your bigger problem is the throttle cut...

Your bigger problem is the throttle cut... I see. Ok ill grab 93 on my next fill and take some more data. Itll be a few days. Thanks for the help tho! |
