Good article there. Any feedback OP. Maybe put the original stock Ford chain and bits and pieces back on.

They do home brew ethanol, sometimes methanol that they sell to the tourist sending them blind or to the grave. Put a bottle of that in the tank.

So you will ask the question but won't give an answer. You sound a bit like Jet

Just checked my tune. I meant to say "open loop fuel TPS threshold" set to zero.

Setting the O2 temp to 2500 deg does not work (not in my strategy). Surprised it set trims to 0. It may work on your strategy. Normally you just set the throttle position/closed loop table to a high double digit number in all boxes and that is it. You cant stop closed loop at idle. It wont let you do it. But the setting of the 02 to 2500 is meant to work on the mustangs and mentioned in the La Sota online tuning manual but not our Fords from when I tried it.

You are not fudging anything with the slopes. Altering the slopes is the correct way to tune the car. Altering the SD maps is the wrong way to tune. You don't really want to be playing with the SD maps Ford spent ages doing with full access to tuning equipment and software. For the purposes of what you are doing just forget about SD tuning. You need to stop making this more complicated than it needs to be. Ford has done the tuning. You are just adjusting the injector data so it puts the tune data where you want it. It does not have to be perfect. Everything will be OK if you are out by .5:1 air fuel ratio. You need to start to understand the injector data. High slope deals with fuel delivery just above cruise speeds. Low slopes deals with fuel delivery around idle and very very low load around 60kph whilst on a flat road. Raising slope leans, lowering richens. It is a juggling act between these two to get the air fuel ratios you want. You have a good starting point with ID1000 data but its a starting point. You got to adjust actual air fuel ratios to desired and you are most of the way there for a basic injector scale. It involves driving around and observing ratios and when in the ball park you can start loading it up a bit more. If you are in the ball park at moderate load you will be in the ball park at high load provided you have the injectors and pump to keep up.

Rolex, you got to forget about SD maps and forget about learning anything from Jet (not that he knows anything anyway). The SD maps have all be done by Ford. You are not going to better it with the aftermarket software we have and at moderate boost levels. Just learn how to tune the slopes first and foremost.

Lower the slopes to make it richer http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showthread.php?50588-ID-1000-injector-data-rough-idle-when-cold These are the values used by a "pro" tuner on an FG. I don't like his injector offsets and the car used to run rough at startup indicating to me that the high slope may be a bit lean IMO. (BTW have not used ID1000) but we will get yours running fine. Nevertheless lower the slopes by 5 to 10 lb and leave the rest the same. Its all about the slopes now. Forget SD. Go for a drive. If at cruise lean compared to desired lambda then lower the hi slope. If at idle lean then lower the lo slope. Just chuck them both at 110 and see where you are.

I reread the posts. As I said I have always tuned timing via hearing. The problem lies in pinpointing the part of the timing map that needs adjustment and to do that you need some sort of datalogging where knock is datalogged against boost/rpm/load. So to get around the phantom knock a more dedicated knock box would help along with some sort of hearing device to back up what is going on. So you can do a tube setup which I think would work, but it will only put you in the approximate area of adjustment.

When tuning in the 90s we used our ears. We just worried about the pinking/pinging we heard and all was good. Using the hose might work for some. Even a microphone of some sort with earmuffs. I would just wait for the HP TUners datalogging that should have knock logging soon.

How does the Kaaz sh*t itself??

http://www.followmee.com/ Its $10 per year and can track per min or on demand. Better than sending SMS

First point of call for me are earphone thingamajig with the metal prong which will get you closer to where. Some good listening devices out there where you can position different place and switch between them. Second point of call is I start cutting observation holes in things like rocker cover, timing cover. Might make the noise easier to locate.

I like the compressor nut/nose and how it tapers to the wheel nicely. I wonder how they tighten it.

There is a Road Spec model KAAZ for the Falcon. Check out https://www.mdspares.com.au/products/645/Kaaz-LSD-Rear-DAG3830RS $1177 then $600 odd for gears, all settled.

It seems that 3.07 gears are now available for the M86. I was considering putting 3.23 gears in the rear (that was the next closest ratio till now) to take a bit of load off the box but since turbos like a bit of load, 3.07 will still keep load on the turbo whilst taking a bit of load off the box (does that make sense). Also was looking at the Diff Options. I really prefer a mechanical diff but the two pinion factory diff, even modified will never be able to cop abuse just by the nature of the two pinion design. If it was 4 pinion with seperate halves I would use it. Truetrac/wavetrac, any worm type diff, I see as being a diff centre you put in a girls car. So it really just leaves a KAAZ. In the description of this ebay seller it seems that he refers to some Cone Springs in their centres that make it quieter. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/KAAZ-LSD-REAR-Ford-Falcon-XR6-Turbo-DAG3830-/151262549009 Also have read that there are some differences in the BF and FG diffs where the FG may need a spacer to fit the DAG 3830 but the BF does not. So it might be better starting off with a stock BF diff for the build. Nevertheless things to look into further.

You need MGTOW (look it up : Men Going Their Own Way)

Was gonna say the same.
