Are you comparing a ba ECM vs a bf ECM? If so the bf independently phase the cams which means you can run varying overlap to gain bottom end power.

The idle fluctuation is due to idle proportional spark. It's based off an allowable torque for idle requestor that ramps timing in and out to stabilize the idle. The base idle timing once hot in most cars is referenced from the decel timing map- it should be named "zero apps timing map" the proportional spark is then added to that. This proportional spark is turned off once dashpot idle mode is set - ie above 3mph. As for your high load knock retard I'm yet to see a tuner get this right - it can be achieved thought, even on ba ECM with a built motor and only 1 knock sensor.

Good stuff - Did you loose any low end resolution with the Tmap ie between 20-50kPa. I wasn't aware that there was a T-map that was 20-400kPa only 50-400kPa? BDM flashing?

So you have been able to enable injector cut on shift in BA/BF auto's PCM's??

Is there a way of using the FG injector cut strategy on high load shifts on BF series auto's? To me this is going to be of greatest value in reducing fatigue failures and reduce clutch wear/degradation.

So you couldn't actually stop the throttle plate from closing ie Torque souce 1 was still registering? You just tuned around it?

I have tuned with both SCT and HPT but prefer SCT - what ended up being the fix?

What your seeing is Torque source 1 (Torque truncation). Have not found a fix for this issue. You can set all the RPM for torque source to 6500rpm and the the issue still stays there. Good luck.

What fuel???

Just wondering what the differences are between BF and FG cylinder heads and also what is the combustion chamber volume in both heads?

The AU ECU is not the best ECU for tuning boosted applications. Are you still running the std MAP sensor? Are you sure there are no manifold leaks? There is most likely a min TPS for idle value that has been exceeded so it will not be using the idle timing map and the idle control will be in dashpot mode - check that the TPS is good and within range = 0.6V should be ok.

How much for a long motor?

I thought you would be used to those 2stroke motors Sir20B - maybe its fords new oil metering system!!!

So much missinformation here. If you go to the right tuner all you need to do is turn of the PATS(Passive anti theft system) in the ECU and it will no longer look for the body control to make sure it has a valid key. All you need is a standard BF ECU and harness and talk to Chiptorque as they have done this conversion before. A much better option than wolf and much cheaper. PM me if you need help - I know what wiring changes need to be done.

To me the problems I have seen with pump failures are when the throttle limiter is removed and the fuel cut is used only to control the revs. But these where massively abused cars. The reason for the reileif valve mod from what I've heard is due to "The cam phasors not working properly over 6250rpm due to oil control". Now I'm not sure where this came from but I know for a fact that the cams will turn off electrically above this rpm meaning the cams will go from 20degrees retard to -10degree advance.
