Title: Re: Your thoughts on Unisettings Post by: 10101011 on November 16, 2014, 11:40:54 AM Why bother when you can do it directly? Would it be good for a temporary adjust in case of bad fuel or environmental change ?? I have found if you changed the O2 sampling on a stock ecu would fix catalytic efficiency codes. The cat codes are caused from silicone poisoning. I have seen O2 & catalytic convertor silicone poisoning a lot at my shop. We have found the added ethanol and other fuel cleaners are causing this. Not many people want to hear they need a $1000 - $3000 worth of cats and labor. In Massachusetts the state inspection station's are looking for the readiness delete or set to ready. They are looking at the exhaust system and if the exhaust is modified your car is red flagged and you can't drive till every thing is changed back to stock. Oh crap.... I... just noticed I went on to a different topic. Sorry.

Just changing krkte takes almost no time with nefmoto and fast flash, so I generally don't bother, plus i'm rarely only tuning fuel or timing, usually other things at the same time.

Title: Re: Your thoughts on Unisettings Post by: 10101011 on November 17, 2014, 08:43:56 AM Tanks :) VWAUDIGUY : We found if we moved channel 6 up 100- 400 points. This adjusment all so fixes " O2 swapped fault codes " when you have O2 spacers. If you have the O2 spacers " MIL /CEL elliminators '' you will have to go down with the adjustment 100 - 200 points sometimes. The big problem we are running into with state inspections is the inspection computers are clearing the READINESS monitorss and seeing if any instantly go to PASS. If any of the monitors say PASS your car gets red flagged and you have to go to a state ran facility. They will perform a full detailed inspection and if any thing is not stock or within stock specification you can not drive your car till fixed. The old days of turning off the readiness monitors are gone ... :-[. Massachusetts and other states are performing this test on the ECU and other states will soon follow :'( What have you found to work with opening up the thresh holds with the SIA system or the CATs ??

Lee I originally thought the emission test stations were resetting to see what comes back immediately as "passed", but I had one guy check his readiness right after an emission test and they were still all passed. SAI systems are easy enough to just repair. |
