My understanding is Rob actually has the whole vehicle now down here in the Costa Mesa area. I haven't seen him in maybe 9 months, but the last I talked to him he said he wanted to get it up and...
Obvious question... why are you still running XP? Haha. Pretty straightforward to move over to Windows 7.

Unless you turn on PM's to be emailed to you, this new forum format isn't very good at letting you know you have PM's waiting for you. Try to contact someone on the team via their website or facebook...
They're probably Sumitomos. Don't waste your time trying to find them. Even if you do find them, the minimum purchase quantity will probably be outrageous. It's generally advisable to pigtail sensor...
Dare I ask how much "jumping all over the place" constitutes? If your idle is "2000-ish" and full throttle is "22000-ish", you're probably going to see plenty of movement in all the way up to the 10...
What features are activated? How much logging memory currently?

Haha. Boy, talk about making big leaps in a logical argument. Correlation versus causation... anyone, anyone? There were thousands of reasons those programs were different and ended up differently....
Variable fuel pressure... like every post-throttle referenced fuel pressure regulator? ;) In my mind, the idea there is to maintain the same pressure delta across the injector at all times,...
Agreed. Frankly, the fancy benefits of sequential fuel and ignition (fuel timing and individual cylinder ignition timing) are often overlooked due to lack of program resources. That said, I have...
Oh snap. You're right. I don't know what I was thinking. The battery voltage comp in the Motec is a value in microseconds. In the Motec scheme, "The table value is a plus or minus time offset...
The 0 psi value for the MAP comp should be zero, not 100... but you'll probably never get there even on a massive lift, but it's worth making it correct.
Battery voltage comp is used to compensate...
TPS is known to work well... pretty much always. You're not going to find it on an emissions vehicle, but it's damn handy and easy to use on pretty much all race cars... yes, even turbo cars. ;) MAP...
Your laptop is *significantly* faster than any engine controls or sensors on your car. The fastest way to tune things accurately is going to be to use the logging function. I suppose you don't "need"...
There was a thread about the basics recently... http://www.fsae.com/forums/showthread.php?11661-Time-required-on-Dynamometer

Matt said it way better than me! Yes, that's what I mean. It works pretty darn well once it's dialed in. It can also be very effective at keeping the engine from doing the classic "FSAE surge" at...
Quick lambda is a nice feature in theory, but rarely as useful as you might imagine. The only time I've found it very useful is on a load dyno where you can very tightly control the rpm and load on...
Agreed with most of the stuff above. The most important thing for your first time is "keep things simple". Often times, your first time on the dyno with ANY new setup will be an exercise in...
There's a big ol' long thread about this exact topic on the forum somewhere. If you want to run batch fire, it's not a big deal, if you want to run sequential, then it is a big deal. You can clearly...
Bill, you are one interesting dude. Your replies always crack me up.
Whenever you're pitching an idea to a potential sponsor/customer/client/whoever, you always need to be thinking about how it...
Don't get too excited about the throttle body one. I submitted a detailed proposal in 2005 with all sorts of rational justification. The arguments I heard back were somewhat non-rational. There are...
What's wrong with the copper ones?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think that item is still in the rules. Check out the official rules on the SAE site to be sure. I would contact the Rules committee as well just to see what the possibilities...
The throttling device(s) has to be before the restrictor. You really need to read through the rules some more and think about what they're saying in practical terms. If you can't make a simple intake...
I think that's one of your best posts Z. All very good, practical advice with a minimum of grumpiness. Haha. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
