Equation for tuning fuel maps. Please help before I try to tune.
 

Sorry for the new thread about the formula but I was doing some math and something doesn't work out for me correctly and I figured people could throw their 2 cents in to give me a hand.

Shoot me if I'm wrong but if you use the formula of: % to change=[(known/calculated)/known]*100 then it works sometimes. Example: [(10/11.5)/10]*100=8.6% then you want to pull 8.6% of your fuel. True, this was already discussed in a previous topic. My problem is like this if you are at 10 and you want to hit 14.7 then according to the formula you only pull 6.8% of your fuel which wont even get you to the previously mentioned 11.5. Am I doing something wrong here or is the forumla flawed?

8.6% equals 1:1 AFR change, so if you're at 10.5:1 AFR and you pull 8.6%, you would then be at 11.5:1

I see, so in theory if i want to get from 10.5 to 14.7 I should pull about 35%, IN THEORY-I'm not going to pull that much fuel at once because of how much it could truely affect, but that is how it works, right?

if you have a map in part throttle that runs 10.5 AFR's you should seriously consider a starting with a better basemap.

what part of your rpm range are you trying to lean out that much?

That seems really way too rich for a scaled basemap.

I would lean out 5 or 10% at a time in problem areas until you get closer to your target and then start using that formula. 35% is a pretty big jump.

No... the forumula is perfect, very simple math.

If you're at 10.5, and you want to be at 14.7.. Do this:

10.5 / 14.7 = 0.71428571428571428571428571428571

(0.71428571428571428571428571428571 - 1) = -0.28571428571428571428571428571429

-0.28571428571428571428571428571429 * 100 = -28.571428571428571428571428571429


...then you take, -29% ...very simple.

I use that formula in an autotune routine in my datalogger... I get almost perfectly flat AFRs in 3-4 pulls on the dyno... ..so, do whatever you feel like you need to do.

I see, I just had my formula wrong, thank you very much. Fook and 95redex 10.5 was just an example my map from xenocron is in the 11-13's range in vac. :)

ahh, you had me scurred for a minute there.

ok, say all that again for really stupid people :-\

[(where you are at/where you want to be) - 1] * 100

Example. your wideband reads 11.9 and you want to be at 14.7
11.9/14.7 = 0.809523809523

0.809523809523 - 1 = -0.190476190477

-0.190476190477 * 100 = -19.0476190477

So you highlight the area that you are at 11.9 and then pull 19% of your fuel from that area.
