My newly aquired 89 LX has the FAST ECU in it and I'm getting ready to jump in and do a little cleaning up of the tune (has a couple of drivability issues) along with turning up the boost. 03OrangeSVT 07-22-2009, 06:33 AM Hmmm.... looks like I'm the only one. At least I talked to their tech guy last night and I cant wait to tune with it tonight... tuning on the fly is going to be so nice. illinipo 07-23-2009, 12:39 AM lucky duck. its going to go so quickly lol 1turbofocus 07-23-2009, 08:41 AM John you have the basics down from using the SCT PRP , it basicly the same thing with diff charts and graphs , it load vs RPM Tom 03OrangeSVT 07-23-2009, 08:41 AM well what a PITA.... stupid laptop wont reconize the drivers for the USB/serial adapter....... focusguy87 07-23-2009, 09:01 AM well what a PITA.... stupid laptop wont reconize the drivers for the USB/serial adapter....... I had that problem....stupid windows 03OrangeSVT 07-23-2009, 09:03 AM And you fixed it how???? illinipo 07-23-2009, 09:38 AM He had it with diablo, not sure if it would be the same... 03OrangeSVT 07-23-2009, 11:36 AM Not reconizing a driver is the same no matter what you are trying to hook it to. illinipo 07-23-2009, 11:41 AM it is very likely the different devices use different drivers. 03OrangeSVT 07-30-2009, 07:20 PM Well I got everything working and started retuning the car..... OMG it idled at 12.5:1 AFR..... it would litterly run you out of the garage... taken care of. It drove at highway speeds at 12.5:1 AFR.... not anymore AT WOT it went as low as 9.7-10.3:1 AFR.... now it lays on 11.2 AFR. I've started messing with the filter location... at highway speed IAT's were 106F... now I have them down below 90F and working out how to get them even lower. FWIW... it TOTALLY SUCKS tuning your base fule table with MAP (kpa) and VE......... 1turbofocus 07-30-2009, 09:16 PM LOL , yes it does , but thats because your use to MAF , If you had started with MAP then you would of felt MAF was a POS Its why most are going to MAF now days Tom Joseph Davis 07-30-2009, 10:13 PM FWIW... it TOTALLY SUCKS tuning your base fule table with MAP (kpa) and VE......... That's more of a limitation of your software's editing capability. With some of the more mature softwares (Honda's eCtune) I can take a stock 240cc injector tune and rescale it for 1600cc injectors/injector driver box in five minutes, everything from idle to WOT within 1/4 point of target AFR. I've never touched a FAST XFI, but I have tuned a few cars with DFI Gen 7 and BigStuff3 which were also designed by the same fellow, John Meaney. In some ways that "family" of EFI is dumbed down and overly basic. I like to be able to configure inputs and outputs in a fairly complex manner... if the AEM EMS wasn't such fragile underdesigned pile of failure I'd tout it as an example, but those are really a mixed bag. LOL , yes it does , but thats because your use to MAF , If you had started with MAP then you would of felt MAF was a POS MAF is a POS. Ford's implementation almost overcomes this, and the S13/S14 Nissan are at least simple to deal with. Everything else is completely retarded. 03OrangeSVT 07-31-2009, 07:33 PM It only took me about an hour to dial in the fuel table but why on earth do they want to use VE vs MAP when the software already has a RPM vs LOAD fuel table in it that you can also modify (just like SCT's/Diablo's stuff) They use the RPM vs LOAD as a commanded fuel table and the you have to tweek the VE vs MAP in to match what you need it to read..... I think its completely assinine since the software runs in closed loop off of the wideband anyway. FWIW this is the old FAST system not the Xfi. Joseph Davis 07-31-2009, 08:12 PM Ah, I have no idea about it, then. Sorry.
