Hi everyone. I'm a lubrication guru looking to get into tuning for my own car. I'm very green when it comes to this so bear with me. My previous experience with tuning is with carburetors so this is all new.
What I know...
- It uses a chip.
- It's speed density.
- Has the opti-spark.
This engine just has a bolt-ons with a canned tune. It's 100% track only as a bracket car. It's fairly consistent as it is aside from the fuel. I'm having inconsistency issues from one batch of pump fuel to another (different specific gravity and ethanol content) which is throwing off my predictability and forcing me to relearn the car every time I fill it up. I'm looking to convert to E85 (VP X85 or C85) for not only more consistency from one tank to another, but more consistent overall with the ethanol. I'm upgrading the fuel pump and injectors for this. That will of course require tuning.
I don't need real time tuning, I don't think. I would like to datalog a 1/4-mile pass and then be able to make adjustments and burn a new chip based on that pass. I think that's how it works. lol
Any advice for a newb is appreciated. Which burner? What software? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I plan to delete the O2 sensors and run only on open loop.
