Datalog your Audi B8 S4 with VCDS & Integrated Engineering Powerlink

[@VancityAudi]

SAVE MONEY ON YOUR INTEGRATED ENGINEERING PURCHASES BY USING THIS LINK: - performancebyie.com/vancityaudi Now that I've had some time with the car I have realized that if you don't push through the kick down when you floor the car, it will not downshift and it will stay in the appropriate gear you want to log the car in. I'd also like to apologize for the horrible glare while filming. Since I've recorded this video I now use a screen recorder to share all of my datalogs so it is easier to see and understand for you all.

[@bagelbandit6076]

So DONT push through the Kickdown? Interesting, Do you know if you use the data log with only the dongle or do you have to pay for each vin?

[@VancityAudi]

@@bagelbandit6076 correct. Do NOT push thru the kick down for an accurate WOT log and it won't downshift. I registered my VIN to the cable so I think you can only use it for a certain amount of cars.

[@prcheese]

You're backing the right horse, congrats to IE for the new record with this platform!

[@davidmusiyenko4158]

What record

[@Justdrivinaround]

I know it works for the door deeper, if you push the ‘reset’ button twice, on your right stalk, it mutes the beeper. It might work for the ignition beeper

[@VancityAudi]

Thanks!

[@frederickt6052]

Love your channel especially since I got the same car and looking to mod mine too! And the fact I'm from the same city makes it special. Can't wait to see whats next for your car!

[@VancityAudi]

I'm excited to get started on this car as well. As soon as the racing season is over with the RS3 I'll be diving in head first with the B8.

[@kevi1349]

You don’t have to code out the annoying noise, underneath on the wipers handle is a button that use to switch the hud.... double tap the button when the door is open and it will turn off that annoying long beep.

[@VancityAudi]

I'll give this a try! Thank you very much!

[@khaledwaleed755]

but on the vcds you can save your parameters one time and very easy to used every time just open and log , thanks for the information best of the best !!

[@VancityAudi]

Very true. You can do that. It is just already loaded and ready to log with the IE software.

You can trim the graphs, or zoom it so it wouldn't be so clutter. Just click, hold and highlight and it will zoom in. Great video!

[@VancityAudi]

Thanks! I knew you could zoom, but only by accident when I never meant to, lol. Appreciate recommending I do that. Would make it SO much easier to read.

[@seansok4205]

A little late to the party, but did you ever post the next log with the ethanol blend?

[@VancityAudi]

No. This video was simply to help show people how to log their car, not show my physical logs.

[@seansok4205]

@VancityAudi good stuff. Thanks for the info

[@jdmsi92]

Can you clear codes with the data logger?

Yes, you can.

[@patricksauvageau2517]

Hi Adam, I'll be tuning my stock 2018 TTRS with Unitronic Stage 1+ next week and I was wondering if IE Powerlink cable would be the best tool to do data logging. Thanks!

[@VancityAudi]

Unitronic offers Unilogger which is an amazing logging software that you can use on your TTRS. Once you're tuned with Uni software fire me message on social media and I'll help you out.

Very nice video !! Make a video on how to flash it to stage 1 with IE. thx

[@zerofuckkksgiven8027]

I see this being an issue in many places. I’m in Reno Nevada and we have shit fuel. What if you blended 110 race fuel??

[@VancityAudi]

Simply blend with E85 instead. Way cheaper and provides much better cooling: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3iypWpufdiYhdE

[@zerofuckkksgiven8027]

Vancity Audi yeah we don’t have E85 either,

[@VancityAudi]

@@zerofuckkksgiven8027 you can always buy it by the barrel online or make a road trip to Sacramento to grab barrels of it from their pumps if you have the means.

[@zerofuckkksgiven8027]

Vancity Audi cool, thanks! I’ll check that out

[@goldenn80]

Does VCDS have any advantage or feature than IE datalink doesn't?

[@VancityAudi]

You can make modifications to the car with VCDS. You can tune with Powerlink. They both can datalog.

[@BigMotorLover]

Why datalog with this? IE normally doesnt do revisions. Maybe if your adding a JB4 and its not as if you can change the IE tune yourself

[@VancityAudi]

The fact you're asking why you'd log your car scares me. How else would you tell if everything was running properly or if it's running to its max potential? This has nothing to with making revisions to your tunes..it has everything to do with checking on the health of your vehicle.

@@VancityAudi Just ran into your unilogger video. I'm hoping once I get the cable in my name (it's on it's way to Canada) maybe it can help me log in a bit more detail than VCDS. Thanks.

[@VancityAudi]

@@pklifter the Unilogger is a vastly superior tool for logging RS3's over VCDS.

@@VancityAudi Is it available for S4's though? I'm still working through getting the cable in my name so haven't been able to do anything with it just yet.

[@koncretesurfer5295]

I have IE. I currently have a misfire on 2. I assume the injector because happened after injector cleaner. I am trying to learn and understand what to look for and log the best i can but honestly this has been the best info. Can you or anyone please direct me in anyway to learn and diagnose my misfire! Also came up as an imbalance followed by misfire. Please!!!!! @vancityaudi

[@koncretesurfer5295]

@VancityAudi

[@VancityAudi]

Are you only experiencing timing correction or retardation in cylinder 2? If so, then you know the problem is only with that cylinder and could be a spark plug, a coil pack, or an injector. If it is pulling timing equally among all your cylinders, then it could be something wrong with a fuel pump or the fuel itself.

[@koncretesurfer5295]

@@VancityAudi thank you. Yeah changed plugs, swapped coils. Stays with C2. Seems to be in the 50-150 misfire range when cold start and than goes away to maybe 10-20 if I step on it. Other than that it goes away with normal driving. Going to plug in IE when driving. Just looking to figure out what variables to watch for now.

[@VancityAudi]

@@koncretesurfer5295 I can't believe you're stepping on it while it's misfiring, lol. Talk about just asking for it. Scope it. Leak down test it. Have your injectors tested. Don't f$cking step on it while it's misfiring horribly, lol.

[@koncretesurfer5295]

​@@VancityAudiI'm not exactly stepping on it, no WOT but I was testing the waters while logging the count. It doesnt seem to misfire when I do drive it. Sorry if any confusion. Only misfiring at cold and goes away once warmed up. But I will be sure not to do any driving til its resolved. I'm just trying to learn. This video will help tomorrow. Thank you.
