For general tuning I log the following:RPMLoadMAPBAPSpark advanceKnock SensorThrottle PositionAir tempCoolant temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackxr6turbo Member 61 Member For: 15y 10m 21d Posted 13/01/10 06:55 AM Share Posted 13/01/10 06:55 AM thanks heaps - I am assuming you have to do the calculation in excel by importing the .csv file. for some reason, the 4 variables below don't show up in the x3 when I am setting up the log file: MAPBAPSpark advanceKnock SensorI admit I haven't had any luck with updating the pids using livelink while connected to the car, I have just been using the x3 while plugged into the car and then later importing the log file into livelink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached is an example output of a quick 3rd gear run. Edit: boosts comes on late because I haven't stompted on it hard, I see max boost at exactly 3000rpm on the street.

1600dave Donating Members 872 Member For: 13y 11m 6d Posted 20/01/12 05:49 AM Share Posted 20/01/12 05:49 AM Is anyone able to throw up a lost of PIDS to log, similar to above, but with what they're actually labelled and which section they're under in livelink.just messing around at the moment trying to see what useful info I can get, but theres that many PIDS labelled very similar or the same, and some don't seem to do anything (645 PIDS in total)Also what units are the numbers in that its logging for pressures, temps, throttle position etc?

The relative throttle position corresponds to some of the AdvantageIII y axis tune tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 4m 26d Gender: Not Telling Posted 04/07/12 08:26 AM Share Posted 04/07/12 08:26 AM Great stuff IH8TOADS, I am feeling confident that this will be fairly easy (datalogging). I am now in the process of acquiring a genetic tune. Now one of my requirements was that I was able to change parameters, and it was confirmed that I could do this. My question is what parameters can I change, and what parameters should I ensure are available. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
