EQT E-Tuning Q&A

[anotero]

I should clarify that Im at sealevel

I should clarify that I'm at 2700-2800 feet. Ambient pressure per the AP was 13.5 psi.

I'll run a log today of third and fourth gears to redline. I'll add IAT to variable list (I didn't modify the default list yesterday, that's why IAT was missing).

@anotero here is the EQT loglist if you want to load that in your AP

What regime did you log? 3rd gear? 4th gear? From what RPM to what RPM?

3rd from 2-6.5k but I think you should email or pm Ed on Facebook if he thinks its safe to do that, you might pop your turbo with that much resistance.

I just received my V2 Stage 2 93 fuel update. Diggs, what you think about my knock and intercooler?

Looking at your log, I wonder: would peak boost be higher at altitude (lower atmospheric pressure) and at higher ambient temperatuers? Based on your ambient conditions, you are pretty close to sea level.

Yes, my altitude is 600 ft. The ECU dictates boost levels and the turbo does what it can to meet those requests...working harder at altitude like me when I climb a set of stairs in Winter Park, CO vs Grand Rapids, MI

That's 14 meters off from my calculations. Pretty good.
So I assume because air at altitude is less dense, as well at higher temps that I'm experiencing, the turbo should compress it more to meet torque requirements, thus generating more boost. Right?

OK, dumb question. Why, since I had auto up-shift and full throttle downshifts disabled when I ordered, does it still happen? I can't find anything in the AP to choose from to toggle between on or off for these features.

Probably human error when making your tune. I would just shoot them an email and be patient, I'm sure Patrick will fix it and get it to you.

This.

Moreover, I think I was able to unintentionally replicate the DV defect on the revised v.2 file that supposedly cured the problem.

Got it. I thought I read something about being able to turn it on/off on the AP as long as you chose "disabled" when ordering. Didn't see any options in the tune menu to do this though.

They told me 4th from 2500 to redline. I did from 2000 to redline. How does it look?

Still looks pretty good to me. The fact that turbine actuator final value starts to diverge from base value may back up the idea that your intercooler is starting to restrict things when airflow is highest. Not terrible but decent IAT rise too. I say enjoy and get that FMIC when convenient.

This is happening in Manual mode selection?

Auto up-shift, definately. Have to try again for kick-down, but pretty sure it is.
