Just realize I said to set the dynamic airflow re-enable setpoint to 8k rpm. It should be set below the disable setpoint which we set to 100 rpm, set the re-nab le to something like 80 or 90 RPM. I don't know for a fact it matters but you are better off with the re-enable less than the disable.
Glad you mentioned that because I was questioning it as you showed it but i'm in no knowledgeable realm to question the goat! lol
Can you do a maf guide for the 5th gen camaro ss
Yep, check the 5th gen playlist. Going through the steps on my truck and documenting it now also under tuning the Superado
Did he mean 5th gen Camaro ss as in 4th gen LS engine management?
I noticed that you always renable your oxy sensors and stft and ltft after you finish tuning is that necessary since I want to tune my car in close loop maf tune all the time do I still need to re-enable the oxy sensors which will enable the open loop again ??
Hey guys!! Y’all need to check his videos out three months ago I didn’t even know what HP tuners was I’ve always been mechanical today I’m doing my own tuning still have a lot to learn he always answers my questions and gives great feedback so if y’all want to learn your in the right place subscribe give him a thumbs up that way at least I can keep tuning!! ABT!! Later!!
Thanks for the support, TJ!
A Sawatzky brought up a great point, it is a normal issue that the first cell in the High MAF table will have bad data in it unless you actually get high enough to register values in the high table. A way to fix that is to go into your high table filtering settings and use the following function to only allow data to show up that registers over the 5800 hz, to do so paste this in "[50080.50] >5800" and the bad data will go away but still allow you to log properly. It doesn't seem to be an issue on the Low MAF table but could do the same thing only switch the direction of the comparison function to "[50080.50]
I've followed this maf graph setup but for some reason I cant any numbers to display in the graph?
Data for the math formula is missing. Make sure both your wideband and commanded afr or eq are being logged
@@GoatRopeGarage Do you have a video on setting up math parameters for maf tuning
Man I’d just like to say keep it up, out of all of the information I’ve looked through trying to get started in tuning yours is by far the best with breaking things down and showing first hand how to get it done dude 10/10 love the content
Thanks for watching and thanks for taking the time to comment!
Thank you for taking the time to provide such a wealth of information in an clear manner your doing a great job and I find myself constant coming to you when I’m not sure and need a real answer
It's about time someone posted a video on how to do this! Beginners struggle with this.
I've done a course with the tuning school to learn this. Your information is a little different from what they teach, but theres more then one way to skin a cat.
So I can't say you're wrong.
But this was a good video, and seeing someone take the time to post video knowledge is much appreciated.
Good job!
Yeah, the there are a few ways to get it to where you can log things, this had been what has worked for me over the years. Thanks for watching!
@@GoatRopeGarage it's good to know about adding 1% (X 1.01) across the entire curve. As we all know the LTFT tend to carry onto WOT range.
That's if you nail down the zero range.
This was a well put together video!
I'm sure you'll get tons of views. Never take this video down cause so far it's the best explained on UA-cam. Trust me I've looked.
Good for you, good job!
Nice man really excited to dig into your info tomorrow. I've got a 06 5.3 that's getting a DOD deleted this week with a summit 8719 cam. Going to do some idle tuning and maf tuning. Really appreciate this info. Subscribed !
Another great video! Your videos are the best I have seen for explaining tuning. Keep up the great work!
Just discovered you a short time ago and been watching several videos. Good stuff, very helpful! I've got a 78 Bronco with a 2013 L92 engine and 6L80 trans. DOD delete, sloppy stage 2 cam and a little headwork, 3.5" intake tube, card MAF, K&N filter 3" custom stainless exhaust. Just started attempting tuning last week. I look forward to learning enough to get this thing running well.
Hey brother fixing to do cam upgrade my self I’m torn between 228r TSP and sloppy stage 2 I haven’t found a lot of data on the sloppy I was wondering were about your power band kicks in does it do good in the low end??
Just started watching your vids and just got my hp tuners looking forward to learning this art. Great content brother thank you been wanting to get into tuning for a long time
Fantastical video on e38 ecm!! KEEP EM COMING BOSS!
Great video. Just follow the steps and tune like a pro. Much easier than I thought.
Amazing how much I've learned from your videos. Thank you so much!
I have watch and then listen to all the gen4 e38 videos twice and I like to thank you I got screwed and taken for a ride by a local shop in the Miami area (West Kendall) and I had to buy a mpvi3 just to try to undo what they did I have saved my 6l80 from further damage at this point thank you so much I am not at all a computer guy what's so ever and had to have my wife set all this up just to turn on the torque management back on
Thankyou brother I was going to run off the first Video mines a Gen 4 2011 GMC Sierra and yes this one matches up to my platform. I was stating today so thanks for this video!! ABT
Just gotta say thank you man! You're teaching me for sure!
Dude! You are Bad ass! Thank you for making these!
2017 Silverado 3500 6.0 e78 ecm
It’s got one MAF table. Thanks for all the info!
Great stuff man!
Thank you appreciate the info
Thanks for your help bro
Bob Ross is crying in heaven 😂😂😂 "Money Green and Angry Red" 😂😂😂
Thanks!
We need more e78 specific content. Trying to learn how to tune is so much harder when basically having to learn gen iv and v at the same time adding on top all the turbocharger tables I feel like I’m doing 3 cars at once.
hey man can you do a cam chop tutorial for e38 ecu, and maybe idle tuning for a big cam
Yea
goat rope garage
I decided to try to tune my supercharged 2010 Camaro. After installing the supercharger I had it dyno tuned. Ran and drove great. Since then I added headers and cat delete and figured this would be a good point for me to try to tune it. I watched your videos but im running into issues. every time I start a log my eq err is rich along with reading from my wideband. I drove to get a log and by the time im done with a 10 minute drive to get data the same spots that were rich are now very lean same with my wideband. The engine is up to temp at each start up and commanded eq is constantly at .999. looking at the original stock tune from before I had it dyno tuned to what I started with I see a couple engine diagnostic parameters changed p0101 p0106 p0121 temps are bumped up to 256 degrees. Map high voltage test is set to disable. air flow correlation p0068 rpm is set to 8000rpm. could these be my problem when trying to do MAF tuning? Not sure what direction to go in at this point.
Used this today to sort out my CTSV with an LSA after my new fuel pumps changed things a bit.
Theres a couple things in slightly different tabs, but I kept having big swings the other direction whenever I made changes. Turned out there’s hot fuel pressure, default, normal, low flow and high flow modes and these kept changing fuel pressure. I had to set the normal, default and hot fuel setting to match the low flow mode at 50.8psi and after that my results in the maf error chart were much more predictable.
Greetings, You have a great channel for DIY guys and you do a great job of presenting the information, thanks for that! I have an 06 C6 ls2 Z51, 3.5k ft. alt. in West Texas. It has VR CAI and cat-less exhaust and ported intake manifold. P0171 & P0174 lean fuel codes are set. Are there tuning remedies to prevent these from being set? Regards,
Love the vids and info in them. I, for the life of me, can not get my new histograms to populate. I have followed step by step but I know I'm missing something.
Well I guess I’m doing catch up on all this tuning stuff, I’ve built up my 08 Z06, and with no tuners even close to me , theses videos are just what I needed.
If you could slow down your curser movements that be great.
thank you
Hey there, love the content, and its helped me out alot. With my understanding of tuning. Many 'Tuners' at shops try to make you think that tuning your car is some complicate process that requires a doctorate to understand. It does require attention to detail and understanding, but its not as scary as people make it out to be. OK, now the question, you touched on this in the video. How does making a change to the exhaust cause a car to run leaner? I only ask this because I want to get an understanding of how this effects the tune. I don't get how improving the exhaust flow would cause the metered air coming into the engine to be changed. I get that it improves performance, and helps the car run better, but I am not putting together how that change would impact how the MAF sensor calculates incoming air. I just like knowing this information because it will help me out. If you know of a good video or page that describes it, I'll take that also. thanks!
Thanks for the info man I'm still new to the HPTuners. I have a 06 Saab 9-7x with a I would say a mild cam and cant get this MAF close. I''m not using a wideband at the moment waiting for my long tubes and y-pipe to get in to install it. But it just seems like I make a small adjustment to add more fuel and then the whole table goes lean.
hey man great job on the videos..I have question you might be able to answer...I'm in the process of tuning my 2010 Camaro after a cam swap.im using a wideband but it's with a tailpipe sniffer..my question is how much should I allow for the wideband being a little lean they way I'm using it..I know it's no way accurate at an idle but up around 2k rpm and higher it seems work..but I'm sure if my wideband shows I'm at 1 lambda that its probably actually a little richer I just don't know how much...thanks again for all the video's they are really helpful..
I'm doing some fine tuning on my MAF - do you ever get what I would call 'false' lean readings in the high frequencies areas due to the delay between the commanded PE AFR and the slight time delay before that exhaust gets to the wide band sensor? It's only a few steps on the data logger but it does seem to skew the percentages. Any tips as far as timing on the scanner? Right now I am highlighting the areas in the scan after it is synchronized to analyze the data. As always, thanks
great video, im just getting into tuning, when adding fuel to the air flow vs freq low do you do the same to the high side? and what does the low side effect vs the high side?
working on 02 z71 5.3 bone stock besides muffler,keep showing knock it alot of cells mainly same cells do i need a wideband to tune maf better?
Great video and anxious to try it but I am new to this and don't have a wideband sensor. Does this still work the same way without one or am I wasting my time?
Thanks
hey man great videos!!! on a gen 4 e38 ecm can you show how to tune for bigger injectors like130LB. do you double stoich and cut half ivt???
1st off great video lots of information I'm just starting out on this I've been screwed over by shops so I'm trying to do it myself now question is do I have to Have a wide band sensor to do this modification I'm at the end of my project but low on money lol I finally got the car running and moving but just fosent run quit right did a swap from a 2014 camaro with 6l80 and the ecu to a 64 impala any help is greatly appreciated
Dude thank you so much. My car is way off and I don't have the money to have someone f it up more lol. If you know what I mean.
Much much appreciated info from another continent!!, I pretty much got my AFR dialed in after this video, but here in the middle east weather can reach 113F, My IAT is hitting 145F, Should I relocated my MAF/IAT sensor?
Probably more dependent on where your intake is pulling air from
Can you Make a video where you potentially upgrade an early Gen IV DELPHI Maf sensor (round style) to the later HITACHI (card style) sensor. I know there are some tuning involved with the frequency and the Idle map. Just dont know whats the best way of going about it.
Do you have to have the wide band just to tune the MAF? Is it use for the histogram?
GoatRope! could you make a video hooking up a aem30--0300 and using hp tuners to tune maf. i cant get mt eq or afr to read on scanner
Whats up man im a new sub and been learning a hell of a lot from your vids. I notices the layout on the fuel was different and im not sure how to correlate this to my tbss?
Make it match your tables
First I want to say thanks for all the videos. I've watched several of them multiple times. I have a 2011 Yukon Denali that is pretty stock minus drop in filter and replaced muffler. I've just been trying to wrap my head around the whole tuning program before I start changing stuff. Where is my best area to make some gains? Thanks in advance.
Dialing back some TM, bumping spark and leaning out your PE. A good air flow tune never hurts either.
GOAT ROPE GARAGE You are awesome!!! I have a 07 tbss and wanted to start tuning! I’m going to get the Mpvi2. Should I spend the money and get the pro version??
Not yet
When I set up for maf tuning I get the maf numbers really close at operating temps then at the next cold start it’s is 30% lean at start up????
Working on a 06 E40 TBSS. Injectors are out of limits so I had to use the double stoich method. So using AFR commanded / WB, WB showing 15.1 at idle and AFR Commanded is shooting for 26.64. At this point do I just need to switch to Lambda and use EQ Ratio? Using a LS7 card MAF but went from a 3.5" to a 4" intake tube in prep for the turbo air moving through it.
Thanks for any feedback.
Do you have a list of mpvi2 compatible widebands? I was looking at the innovate lc2 but wanted to make sure it's compatible before I buy or have to go another route. Thank you!
I have a 09 Silverado with the E38 ECM, it has a lot less parameters to work with. Do you have any videos with the "dumbed down" version of this ECM?
If I were tuning a completely stock gen 4 vehicle is MAF tuning necessary and could I just multiply the stock table by the 1.01 or .02 and see what I get on my wideband or would I still do this process to get the extra fueling? BTW I've been watching your videos like crazy and if I get tuning figured out it is 99% because of your dedication to spreading the knowledge man and I really appreciate it!
Is there any particular order you should tune? Say like maf, afr, spark, etc?
Thank you for the great videos. My situation is a little different. I fall into the engine swap category. I have a Lexus LX450 ( Land Cruiser) with a Gen IV 5.3 and 6l80. I have been learning and tuning it for a couple years now. Your videos make the process so much easier. I decided to take a fresh look at my tune and really try to get it dialed in. Can you do something on setting base airflow and idle tuning? My engine is essentially stock ( aluminum 5.3 ,no DOD but VVT) I love the combo and would like a fresh angle on dialing in the idle using just the oxygen sensors.
Yeah, going to be touching on the very soon
@@GoatRopeGarage sweet. I'll be looking forward to it
Do you keep the range all at stoich and just richen it up while in PE or do you ramp the afr?
Awesome information, my car runs lean under 4K rpm, hoping to clean it up this weekend! Can I add some percentages in the MAF table to richen it up as a start point
Yep!
Thanks again!! Had some beginner issues getting the wide band figured out to read lambda.. after a couple data logs, and a little interpolation my AFR is looking a lot better, (aka not pegged on 22)!
Pretty awesome to use the help off a free UA-cam page and get the car safer and making more power than a *tuner* did!
You sir have my full attention and appreciation!
I am new to this and learning to tune. I added a cam, intake, headers etc to my 2012 C6 and was wanting to make sure I am tuning in the right order. Is it MAF, Speed Density then Spark? Are there any other key tuning steps to perform? Also, when I tune the MAF do I use that final file as my base file for Speed Density then that final combined file for spark or do I tune for speed density using the original stock file then the original stock file every step then adjust all the tables at once on a separate stock file when I am done?
When you gathered your numbers from the scanner and pasted them into editor, why do you cut them in half instead of 100pct?
do you do any tune review for a charge, my local tunner has got it pretty close but I think that you can find more
Any particular gear in a manual can to log in ? For the maf data
I have a 2010 Camaro with the E38 and the tables are nothing like the ones you have there!!!
Tried to do this with my LFX powered MX5, having problems trying to dial it in, I start to get good data, then half way through it seems to lean out, intake temp, coolant temp all the same, not sure what i'm doing wrong..
Greetings, I have completed the MAF tune an a 2006 ls2 corvette. It now idles like it has a stage 3 cam. Is that the way it should be or do I need change something to smooth the idle? Thanks,
Hey so got the same car on the Dyno this week and our cylinder Airmas keeps coming down a little while the rpms are rising. For example .94 at 5000 rpm then 5300 rpm .88
Question on tuning the LTFTs with a Wideband. How would I get the Commanded EQ and Actual EQ from the WB to make the LTFTs to 0% or as close to 0% as possible? Thanks man
I have followed your steps to try to begin tuning MAF on my 2011 sierra. I added my AEM EQ ratio to the channel no problem but once I start scanning it disappears. I think this is preventing me from data logging with the MAF error ratio histogram you had us setup. Any idea what is happening?
What about power enrichment? Set it to 1 ? Or leave it factory (even though I'm running 9psi boost higher than factory?) Or leave power enrichment at whatever levels my current tune has in it?
Hey I know this is a older video. I upgraded throttle bodies and feel like I should be able to get it tuned. Would I use this method for larger throttle body Im guessing? I watched one of someone using STFT but I don't know if I trust it.
Also would I copy and multiply by half each time?
Its a Gen 5 LT4 car.
You got some great videos man, I just used this to dial the maf on a gen 5. Its a 2015 high country with a gen 5 pcm and a gen 4 engine, so i still have a issue with starting some times after cam install. it kinda just wants to turn over after a drive, and then will eventually start, after turning the key off and back on. Any ideas?
Did you ever figure what the problem was?
i have an e78 ecu on a 2011 2500hd 6.0, my MAF tables are labeled Airflow vs. Frequency and Airflow 2 vs. Frequency. the first has values from 0.0 at 0, 19.6 at 2,100, 141.9 at 4,200 and so on... the 2nd MAF table has zeros across the table. im not sure where to proceed honestly. any suggestions?
Hi love your videos man lots of info. I'm trying to dial in my MAF followed the steps in this video tried to get some logs going but no values are showing up in the chart. Any help would be greatly appreciated it's a 2008 silverado e38 platform
Did you ever figure out why? Please post if you did.
I'm just starting to maf tune on my turbo ls3 and I've followed all your steps but ill check again because I'm finding that as I'm cruising down the road it will lean spike from 3000hz to 3750Hz on the maf error histogram, I'm wondering if this is hardware or software, I've only made two adjustments so it's possible that it will go away with further changes?
Edit: you know I might just have air in the lines from swapping injectors
Im going to start on my wifes 2016 Tahoe with the ecotech 5.3l, would the gen 4 tuning work fine on the gen 5?
So I saw in the video you were doing airflow tuning with an additional afr Guage. How can you do airflow tuning without an afr guage
If installing long tube headers, and deleting the cats/ o2 sensor 2 in both banks. Would there be extra steps to this process?
When I did this evening read 0. I have a big Texas speed cam would you re enable ltft?
My 02 readiness it’s still at the max value but the car runs very well with it like that would you leave like that?
I have a 2009 sierra 5.3, I don't see the table in order to enable MAF only.
I'm in a 2015 chevy ss with a gen 4ls motor, I cant get the maf err graph to populate.
So since you are using lambda for your mixture and I’ll more than likely be using air fuel will the 10 and -10 values for the graph layout still work with afr or will I have to use lambda with those numbers?
so I have tried setting this graph up several times going step by step watching the video and when I connect to my vehicle while running the graph will not populate, Im trying to figure out why anyone have any ideas why? HPtuners logged into my laptop and messed around and said all was good but it is not
Nice vid explaining the process. One thing I have seen when logging on ecm's with 2 maf tables, you need to look out for, is that for example the high freq table will populate the lowest cell even if the freq is lower than the high freq table. Same thing happens if your in high freq table and it will populate the low freq table on the last cell. Not sure if I explain myself. And I think that's why you only got data in the first cell of the high freq table in this vid.
That makes sense as to why there would be data in that lowest cell, good to know! Thanks for commenting! Make sure you're getting data in that top table beyond the first cell to verify its using live data!
Exactly. I usually like to take the 2nd cell and up and then just interpolate the cell under because usually the lowest cell takes the whole average of the low freq table
I tested adding a filtering function to not allow data when below 5800hz and it cleared up the false data in that first cell. Good catch! I pinned a post to the top of the comments explaining how to do it.
Yea I thought it could be done with filtering but I knew about the issue and I lived with it. I have learned a lot of things from your videos so I'm glad I can be of help to someone
How would I go about doing this using the narrowband sensors? Just for partial throttle.
Does it work the same way when you don't have a hi & low table only 1 that goes from 0-15000 ???
Hey how come my graph will not record any data with the maf lo and maf hi. I set it up the way you said but when I log it i don't get any data?
I could not get my new graph to populate on I did everything you said to do.
i set evrything up for the maf error hi and lo and i cant get it to actually log data while driving? what would cause this?
I am a part time tuner. I only tune my own vehicles and have been listening to all of your tuning videos using HP Tuners. You are very well versed in manipulating the software which is what i was really interested in learning . It took me at least 5 years as a beginner user of EFI Live. I bought HP a few years ago but have never used it. I like the way HP addresses both MAF and VVE tuning on the Gen 4 engines but after having some success with MAFb tuning VVE is out the window. Dealing with graphic peaks and lows is not intuitive the way the tut presented it. I want to use HP. It appears that when you tune the MAF you do not reset the PE at a fixed value should I do that or not?
Can we please get some how to Videos specific to coyotes specifically gen2 2016 mustang gt
How hard would it be to tune out AFM,DOD. And tune for a cam with hp tuners
I have an 07 c6 base ls2. And in my scanner it’s not giving me an options to selects hertz for the maf. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I'm a serious greenie at tuning. I had a 'tuner' start on my '07 Suburban and he is in the wind now so I'm having to learn on the fly. I've got an '07 Suburban with an lc9 5.3l, long tube headers and a generic CAI, no cats, no DOD, no downstream O2's. I added a channel for the MAF sensor and set up the graphs but the channel disappears when I load a log file. Am I doing something wrong?
So, trying to do this now on an 08 TBSS. The table isn’t populating any info! 😅 am I missing something? Also, it’s lean AF without the VE table in use! 😅
In the process of doing this but notice on the wide band in upper rpm’s 4.5-5k plus it reads in the .7 but nothing on the log shows it running that rich. Any ideas?
Any info on a infiniti g35x with vq35hr engine? Im lost... i do chevy.
I've got everything setup and did the wash, rinse and repeat. But it's showing afr on WB 15.0 to 17.0+. How do I richen this?
Question. What if a wideband is not available for installation in an optimized location? All of the cars I have tuned DONT have widebands installed at all. I use STFT or STFT+LTFT in closed loop to get the low-speed fueling right. I switch to the wideband for WOT fueling (I keep a WB with me for tuning. Tailpipe mount, unfortunately). What are your feelings on this?
Since you're doing PE it's probably a safe approach, so long as you're watching knock. WoT is when it's critical to use a WB since you're narrowband sensors can't read correctly when that rich and you should have enough exhaust flow at WOT to keep issues from studying from fresh air hitting the sensor.
Woking on tuning my 07 trailblazer ss when i stab the throttle from a dead stop it goes into reduced power mode where should i be looking to correct this issue wanting to take it to the track but not get embressed by it shutting itself down
Have you done any tuning on the LFX V6s? I have a ‘15 Camaro with ported intake manifold, ported 80mm throttle body, a cell super coils and a 3.5” cai with a JET performance MAF. If I change the cai tube to 4” the engine doesn’t learn to run with it. Continues giving errors. That’s why I’m now a subscriber to your channel.
You change the intake size and your MAF needs rescaled, pretty straight forward
I have a 08 suburban and my platform is coming up differently.
