ECU Remap question

[M-R-P]

LOL, not sure how to take that Torque and boost is a hobby horse of mine tbh, it drove me to create my logger as I needed info to tune my car correctly and torque/VIDA/anything else was missing too much.

meant only as a compliment mate, I've been following your shenanigans with considerable interest.

Most of the data is bang-on. Especially things like rpm, road speed, fuel rate etc. What causes problems is old sensors - Boost sensor, temp sensor, oxygen sensor MAF etc. The app will only show you what the sensor sees so if the sensor is giving inaccurate information, that's what you'll get from the reader.

If you're tuning, I certainly wouldn't rely on anything other than a good mechanical boost gauge.

GOOD .......is the only operative word to use as i have had three different mech. boost guages and they all read about +7psi out even on idle -30mHg....also one reading up to +20psi the needle will not go over but it hits a stop so you could be boosting 25!!!

I was getting pretty peed orff keep sending them back so opted for a Digital one which reads to calibrate and sets every time you start the engine.....quite handy also as it gives battery voltage for 20secs before it goes over to boost mode.

Avoid "Aggressive Guages"

Also my Torque app. read 135 degrees on the coolant temp. and my temp. guage was normal with no fan going and it is a newish sensor!

Anyway i don`t bother with any reading etc. more to worry about!.......all the time it goes ok i leave alone except of course when adding more performance items...

which digital gauge did you get Keith? Fed up with mime reading 20psi when it's clearly not lol.

Got this one Martin....mine reads for psi, probably can get better but it is superb .....you get all the bits with pressure sensor etc. easy to fit......mine is wired to the light switch so i can interupt the voltage supply and the guage goes to battery condition or charging rate for 20 seconds before going back to boost condition......in otherwords you can see what the alternator is chucking out!.....with blower on or off or whatever!

Had a play around with the Torque app and set it up.. Got a few screen shots.

Hope that intake temp isnt right at 50C..
Fuel pressure is a bit far out.

Maybe i didn't set it up right.

Fuel pressure looks normal to me!

IAT will be right, looking at your AFR your car was in full component protection mode there.

On your photo the MAF and load readings are made up, the rest will be correct.

Just asking, I can remember seeing a reader that used a AV out signal so you could use a in car screen, anyone knows if you can still get it.

Me to it a very good read indeed.

So your say the fuel pressure is reading right? That's 5.2 bar.
why would it be in component protection mode ?

Yes it's correct. Component protection mode adds fuel to cool the cylinder walls, look at your AFR.
