2)There were two very brief instances of FBKL. They occurred at loads of about 2.5, is that concerning given they were only about 2/10s of a second each time? I wouldn't think so but I wasn't sure.

3)The boost control showed an initial spike that reached 3.5lbs over target on the first hit and spiked 2lbs over on the second. Is this just bad boost control?

What gas was that log, I assume 91 with the timing...

thpically I would use g/s airflow to estimate power over calc load. If they're off in OTS maps high loads probably has to do with the maf cals

2)There were two very brief instances of FBKL. They occurred at loads of about 2.5, is that concerning given they were only about 2/10s of a second each time? I wouldn't think so but I wasn't sure.

yes FKL if 2.81 that is repeatable, op has what looks like leaner running and a tiny bit of boost creep, the combination of which likely lead to the timing reduction
3)The boost control showed an initial spike that reached 3.5lbs over target on the first hit and spiked 2lbs over on the second. Is this just bad boost control?
this was during a shift. A change in load, quick transient response, and stock ebcs are likely the reason

91 octane and it is winter gas.

when i took this log, i hadn't been to the RPM at WOT where i saw the FKL, not entirely sure if this is something that adjusts over time or needs to be looked at. i don't recall feeling any timing being pulled during those pulls the car has been running great.

i will take more logs during summer.

If you do another try adding command fueling and boost target like simplej suggested.

Why wait until it's warm? That's what comp tables are for.

FKL is bad. Basically it means that the ecu has seen knock in a certain rev and load range repeatedly so it is protecting itself in a predictive way.

-2.81 is not bad- anything over that is cause for concern. However, if you're getting a -2.81 FKL consistently that could be indicative of a problem

He was actually WOT. Pedal position correlates to a requested torque table. In simplest terms: If that requested torque exceeds what the engine can make- it will peg the throttle at the max open position in an attempt to reach the requested torque.

His throttle position is 80% but the throttle plate is actually 100% open. That's a wot log

accel % yeah, didn't really mash the gas pedal all the way down but the throttle % appears to be 100%. i'd be very surprised if the car had more power with the added 20% accel % as it felt quite fast.

road conditions and i'm on my winter tires. i'm not even planning to hook up the AP until mid-april or early may. i drive the car daily, and WOT here and there, just not logging it.

if i have FKL but no actual feedback knock, is it still a concern though? i've only been to that RPM range 2-3 times since going stage 2 (i installed it in november) so maybe i just haven't given it enough trials to "learn". ideally i'd like it to stay at 0 though.

also maybe important? this whole log was to test air leaks after installing an intercooler and charge pipe. needless to say i didn't tune for these parts, not yet at least. i took note on the FKL but plenty of people posting WOT logs on OTS maps have FKL on these motors.

thanks for taking a look btw, appreciate it.

Did it correlate to full requested torque? As I mentioned in a different thread the pedal controls more than just the throttle plate, this isn't a small block chevy after all. There are other parameters it controls, timing, AVCS, boost control.

I know my tuner often uses the last portion just for boost control. Its hard to know for sure what his did.

Does the FA20 clean up timing/knock wise if you add 1/4 tank max of E85?

Just thinking of the 91 octane folks, hippy gas is hippy gas.

That's a question only your tuner can answer.

As for a stock engine calibration, I wouldn't recommend it. Trading a proper AFR for a little extra octane doesn't exactly strike me as a good compromise.

Now if you were to get a flex fuel map.... then it's game on.

2 or 3 times since November? Christ I hit that in third merging on my way to work every damn day.

You don't need to tune for those parts per se.

Yes you willl see some FKl, if you don't that is a problem, even on a protune.

Think of it like this FBK is knock your engine heard. FKL is knock your engine predicted based on conditions where it heard knock previously, and will keep FKL for as long as those conditions are experienced and there is a knock, if no knock it will learn it away in increments of .35. DAM drop is your ecu getting repeated FKL and FBK and it says okay I'm just going to turn down the entire timing table across the board until i get it under control.

If you get this every time you go WOT its probably not good. Once in a while totally fine. above -4.22 and thats not good either.

Please see the table below, unless ATP is different (or I missed something), there is no correlation between pedal position and the variables you listed. Pedal position controls requested torque and requested torque alone. The other variables mentioned adjust based on calculated load, percent requested torque, and/or requested torque.

Yes, a few gallons, 1 or 2 max will clean things up even on the stock tune. No mods or flex fuel needed for these concentrations to boost octane.

The car feels incredible! I really like that it's full time CL, I was pretty surprised when I saw AF Correction at WOT on my first log - but I've realized it has some great benefits!

Better gas mileage, AFR always hits its target. Most tuners can't/don't know how to effectively tune this way.

PhatBotti/PhatRon tuned.

Gonna have to disagree with you there, personally. AFR in the 10s to mid 10s at higher rpm is pretty conservative, the timing scheme is a bit off because I didn't WOT until past 3000rpms.

This log is an example of a fairly aggressive tune/timing scheme. AFR is conservative (not as much as the E Tune) but that's about it. This was the only log I could take on that tune without knock. Almost double the timing throughout the log. This tune has lower boost, which was probably the only thing keeping it from exploding, a lot of the power was made through timing which is dangerous on these engines.

Ok that last log is straight up scary, seems like a good way to toss a rod.

Thanks for sharing the PhatRon log it is super clean, I guess I'm just unfamiliar with the timing maps on these engines.

You are correct, but requested torque can be used to control the other variables.

you're right, ignition is just load/rpm shouldn't have said that one

Interestingly requested torque values aren't restricted to the max listed in that table either.

Requested torque can call for max throttle plate position but not max boost

I'm full time closed loop as well. Couldn't be happier. I remember doing my first logs and saw A/F correction and was like... Umm... What...

here is my final etune on 91 from Ron aka phatbotti. this is it before he finishes it up on the dyno next friday and then he will tune me for Flex Fuel. can't wait!

goto my build thread if you want to see the mods: https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho....php?t=2802811

3rd gear...26-27 psi according to my non-Cobb AP boost gauges.

http://datazap.me/u/ustemuf/e70-efr7064

my car blew a head gasket or more just recently though. went to tune for flex fuel. my very first tank of 91 octane, one third gear pull with only 16psi and my engine went a couple minutes later.
still need to tear down to truly diagnose.

the log was perfectly normal looking as far as i can tell.... musta just been fatigue. 22k on the built motor.
here is the 91 octane 3rd gear pull...
