Apologies for bringing this post back up but I felt it was relevant.

Please can somebody confirm that these timing results I'm seeing is a result of ARMD kicking in on this 4th gear pull?



I've altered KFDMDARO to a flat 50 on the bottom row and the last 5 values of the 1st row but it hasn't helped.

Could it be that it needs increasing to 100 or could it be that I need to alter KIFZGHG and/or KFDMDARU?

Hello,

I have problems with bad performance and timing going up and down especially on 2nd gear, this has also made for two burnt exhaust valve. I assume that the exhaust gas can be quite hot with timing around 0 on high revs and load.

Problem is that I cannot seem to locate the KFDMDARO, NARAO, NARASTG or NARLLGA in the bin I´m using. If anybody has any suggestions on where to look I would very much appreciate the help.

Car is Audi A4, 1.8t, Wideband, ME 7.5, 8E0909518AA 0004.Bin

Also the rev limiter is bothering me, on locations 172A4, 172A6, 172AA and 172AC I have raised the limiter but still it does not have the desired affect. Is there further locations that contain revlimiter?

Help would be appreciated!

likely not. log dmar_w and b_ar and/or FF the last line of DARO to make sure.

btw that boost request is a bad idea.

You'll have to walk through the FR and log the ignition timing path like we did in the rest of the thread; i can't see anything obvious from the vars you have logged, unfortunately.

In the meantime, fix your boost req.

FF TMAR - that will stop ARMD, log to see if it's the cause.

Obviously better to tune it properly afterwards but as said, I doubt some big tuners don't do this.

In my car, setting the last row of KFDMDAROS to 50 and leaving KFDMDARO alone caused dmar_w to stay at 0 across the load range. I have double checked the disassembly and it doesn't appear I mapped them incorrectly. Did I in fact label them incorrectly, is this expected behavior and the wiki needs an update, is it different for some ecu's?

2nd. Do not fully disable ARMD unless you really like the race car experience. Note that the A4/S4 does not have a race car transmission/flywheel/gearing/suspension/steering etc. so you'll probably regret it even for a "race care" experience.
