Good stuff! The issue you had when you switched the idle airflow back to 6 and then it didn't want to stay running is because your long term idle trims were still -3 so effectively you were commanding 3 g/s idle airflow, the short terms trims were then saying you were 3 too low and were dialing your long terms back towards 0 which got you back to 6 g/s. Much like fuel trims, the short term trims only capture higher resolution data and then averages to make changes to your long term trims which then adjust your commanded. Enjoyed watching you go through the process!

For cam change you need to decrease low rpm fuel and add fuel at higher rpm. Cams are inefficient at low rpm so are rich down low and lean out as rpms increase

After a year of screwing around, moving the injector normal and makeup values higher to around 6.2 is what finally got mine running right. A wider cam timing needs a wider injector timing boundary.

Hey man your channel is very informative and the main reason behind that is that you take us with you during the process of tuning to devolpe an experience even from watching a video specifically with idle tuning not alot youtubers do this instead they would just show you how to do a base tune and then your on your own dialing that in you have already made a gen 3 idle tuning I am expecting a new gen 4 Idle tuning process just like your gen3 idle video soon enough so we can see cause and effect and diagnosis instead of just a base tune not alot of videos out there specially during the process great content keep them coming

When the setting would not go to your desired 8g/s it was interpolating between the two cells because he engine was 93c and on the table the values in the cells were under 80 and 100, so if ya graphed it and drew a line it would be spot on at the displayed value at 93c

I was always told not to touch airflow or timing and you should be taking away fuel at low RPMs and adding it at the Higher end because the power curve of the cam needs less fuel until it gets close to where the power comes on

I just recently installed a summit 8701 cam, DOD/AFM delete kit and Ls6 springs in my 08 Silverado. This video will be what I follow to set my baseline idle and in gear idle but do you have any information for us noobies about adjusting fuel trims and timing under load? I'm going into this project solo and I'd really like to collect all the information I need before jumping into the knitty gritty. I've never tuned before, but I know enough to follow along and read the important data.
@LowbuckLS
@LowbuckLS 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Audi Alucks, this video was done on a Gen 3 ECU so there will be some slight differences on your truck, but most of the concepts will apply. With regards to adjusting fuel trims, I do it differently on my truck since I am turbocharged and running a speed density operating system, but for your truck there are two parts to airflow tuning. Under normal driving, the truck uses data from the MAF sensor and the factory O2 sensors to decide how much fuel is required. To tune in this mode, you would log your short term and long terms fuel trims and adjust the HZ in the Airflow vs Frequency table until your STFT and LTFT are as close to zero as possible. When in PE (power enrichment) mode your truck uses the VE table to calculate how much fuel is needed. To in this mode, you need to force your truck in to speed density mode and then log short term and long term fuel trims and then adjust the primary VE table until your STFT and LTFT are as close to zero as possible, or use a wideband O2 gauge to monitor air/fuel ratio and adjust the VE table until it reads whatever the ECU is commanding for AFR. For timing under load, the best way is to use a dyno, but for street tuning the way I do it is to first change any regions of the timing map that have negative values to zero or a slightly positive value. Also make sure your brake torque management is disabled. Then you can log knock retard and increase the values in the wide open throttle region of the timing table until the ECU starts pulling timing due to knock retard, then back off the timing until no knock is detected.

When you were advancing ignition for idle near the start, you were fighting the idle adv which was taking 10 degrees away from what you had set, it was trying to drop the idle speed to your target rpm I think

I think the cam profile itself is going to lend itself to making crazy torque down low, so it’s going to need more fuel in that regard. From what I’ve seen these type of large duration split/moderate lift cams at that Split angle don’t make big top HP numbers but excellent torque production.

I’m assuming you’re still using a MAF tune? So many people recommend going Speed Density but in a true driver it can be a challenge during the changes in season and altitude when traveling. I’m surprised you were able to get a recovering idle without cracking the throttle blade or enlarging the bypass air hole in the throttle blade. 🤔 Maybe with the Turbo blowing into the TB, even w/o boost per say it’s still adding air. Interesting video, thanks for sharing your Testing and Results! 👍 PS just saw the ending where the Turbo isn’t hooked up yet! Still surprised it idled by only using the tune, my 4.8 w/ 216/220 cam was a bear to get a recoverable idle 750-800 rpms.

I am running the 3 Bar Enhanced OS from HP Tuners which is a speed density system but I did notice it is pretty finicky and my AFR readings vary from day to day as temperatures/conditions change. I did end up adjusting the set screw to open up the throttle blade a bit in the video I did about adjust IAC counts.

@LowbuckLS
@LowbuckLS 5 жыл бұрын
Miracle Motors I’m not familiar with the Gen 5 stuff but you probably only need to increase your idle speed about 75-100 rpm from stock. Basically you want as low of an idle speed as possible without being so low that it’s unstable. A 75-100 rpm increase is probably a good starting point.

Normally for these LS engines it will cost 2 credits per vehicle that you want to tune, once it has been licensed you can tune it an unlimited number of times.

But for most people it will cost 2 credits per serial number.

Dan Driver I didn’t change any of the proportional/integral values from stock. I did figure out the issue with it stalling in gear, there is a setting called brake torque management that I turned off to solve that issue.

@@LowbuckLS you should change your proportional, integral etc etc to clean up your lope. Loping for a long time with incorrect instantaneous air and timing can burn/foul plugs, cause overheating as well as hotspots especially with aluminum heads. Most clean it up for "that chop" but really should be done for efficiency and burn quality

You might get a little better idle at 13-13.2 af.14.7 is good for cruising at highway speeds .

13.2 at idle? That would wash the hell out of the cylinders. Lol the o2 sensors adjust the fuel trims to runs at 14.7 no matter idle or cruising which is ideal. The only time you should run 13.0-13.2 aft is wide open

Correction. Didn’t see the turbo. Wide open more like 11.5 afr

ThatDudeTrent yeah that seemed a little rich for idle. I’m running an open loop speed density tune so my O2 sensor isn’t going to make any correction to the AFR I have to do it all in the tune. But yeah I’ll stick to 14.7 ish at idle now that I think about it.

Lowbuck LS manufactures set the engines to 14.7 af for emissions . After you throw a big cam in that engineering went out the window . You can change the af and watch the map change up and down . The best af is slightly leaner than your best manifold vacuum reading for idle. Some people just run open loop for idle then the ecm is running a fixed program.

Yeah I think I had issues with the real time tuning, it works great for VE tuning but not that great for idle tuning. I don’t think it worked in gear I don’t remember the exact reason but I ended up giving up on the real time tuning for idle airflow and did it the old fashioned way.

Ricardo Villa it might just be a result of the c swap, if your new cam has a lot of overlap it could be letting some extra unburied fuel through into the exhaust at idle. I have heard of guys messing with “End Of Injection” timing to fix that but I don’t have any experience with that myself

@@LowbuckLS well, I've figured it out for the most part. I've done VE based tuning before, it was nice seeing you apply it to this Chevy as some kind of mark of similarity between these three vehicles. But the maps on the Subaru were far more straight forward. There was a closed loop section that defined everything needed for idle, a VE section, a base openloop fueling section to directly adjust AFR, etc etc. So the indirect strings that this SRT8 has given me threw me for a bit of a loop today. Luckily Theres a post on HP tuners that can open my eyes more to this.
