Thanks for all the work. I went through the new file and compared it to the 260Z1109 and they look similar. I had a hard time comparing the spark and fuel tables, but it did look like the PW was different.
I'm still learning what I'm looking at so I'm sure I'm missing a lot of info.
Re: 260z project that needs some tuning help
No worries. Tunerpro has some nice tools to help compare different files. After selecting your bin file and your definition (xdf) you can load a calibration for comparison (Compare -> Load Compare Bins).I'm still learning what I'm looking at so I'm sure I'm missing a lot of info.
After loading the comparison file(s) you can use the difference tool (Tools -> Difference Tool) to see a list of what's different between the files. Select the files you want to compare from the drop down menus and click Search to get a report. The results are displayed in hexadecimal values so they probably won't mean much, but you can get an idea what is changed then look at the values separately later.
Or you can view current and prior data in graph mode.
You can also view tables and data and use the compare function to show differences. Clicking the compare function (looks like scales) can switch between bins.
I have been looking through the files and there are a lot of differences between what you have done and what the 260z9011 file has. One thing I noticed is knock settings, most of the settings are 0 on the 260Z9011 and have different settings on the Larryz_3-27-25 file. There are so many lines to look at it is amazing what it takes to do this. I'm starting to understand were things are and how it works, but the learning curve is very steep at this point.
Thanks
Are you using a knock sensor? If so I can move the knock tables over.
No, I don't have a knock sensor, just something I saw as I was looking at all the different tables. I'm looking forward to seeing how it does. I'm hoping to have the TPS on and working soon. What should I set it at, I'm
thinking 0.5. AFI wanted it at -0.3.
It's surprising how many differences exist between the two calibrations. In some spark tables it looks like values were set to mimic the original distributor operation. This is common when creating a baseline calibration. Over time, test and tune sessions can create spark and fuel tables with more peaks than what a mechanical / vacuum system could accomodate.
.5V is good. TPS voltage between .4V and .6V is pretty typical.
When it comes to tuning, I have done it old school, seat of the pants, vacuum gauge and listen for knocking. I have worked with fuel injection over the years but just keeping them running so when I installed the system in my Z that part was easy put doing data logs started to open my eyes on how much it takes to make these systems work. I now feel like I have now gone down the rabbit hole and I'm looking at a whole new world. I have started to see the flaws in the system (TPS and injectors) and partly in the way some of the files were written.
It is going to be fun to start going through the process of logs and tuning now that we have a better baseline to work with.
Thanks
