Myself and Toolowsol are currently working on a step retard script for Uberdata. It will hopefully be completed for the next release The step retard system will allow more utilization of the ignition system by allowing different increments of retard per level of boost. For example, 0-3, 3-5, 5-7, 7-11, 11-15. Each would have different levels of retard. In contrast, the current retard function takes one value and multiplies it for everytime another pound of boost is added.

Just drop by the forum and ask your questions. You will get your answers there. www.ecimulti.org/uberdata

Very good thread You all have answered alot of my questions through 92's questions!

 

great work guys! i manually do step retards anyways, linear retards rob so much power down low, your work will make it a lot easier. i downloaded the script and put it in a 1.7 version, it looks pretty good. i have funny lines around the map settings under boost tab though

 

we will have to get this sorted out. I'll mention it to toolow.

I have a quick question. I asked on the pgmfi.org board but never really got answered fully.

When I do make a base map to make the car run, do I want to disable the closed loop process? Will this affect my gas milage a whole lot?

 

disable closed loop and o2 heater for tuning with a wideband, leave them enabled any other time. yes, you will get shitty gas mileage if you disable it.

 

Well here is the thing. I wont be able to get to a dyno for a few days/week. I can probally get ahold of a wideband from a friend but not guarantted days after the install. Thats why I need to know to run disabled or enabled.

 

like i just said, always have it enabled, the only time you disable is when you are actually tuning (unless you want shitty gas mileage, then leave it disabled all the time if you want). generally people tune in open loop, then once they have their tune where they want it, they enable closed loop again.

 

I've been running disabled for about a month now, and I'm getting about 22mpg when I'm not hard on her.

 

Ok cool I misread your first post.
