Your data logs look good and looks like u are on the right map due to the timing being conservative. But like every one else said its hard to say with our air/fuel.

Inno air fuel connects like the aem with a serial port. I use mps due to easier to use for me.

I don't know what your asking on the last question. I highly suggest reading the utec manual. It will answer all.

Judging by your logs you are running +12.5 timing at 8.5 psi which is really conservative. Who tuned your car if u don't mind me asking.

Also it looks like u need to adjust the throttle % looks like it never went over 95% at wot.

always use logger 1 its 100 times better there you go:

RPM= 6093
Thottle %= 095
Boost= +8.2
Load Site= 80
Timing= +12.2 (when showing ECU that means the Factory ECU is in-charge not UTEC)
A/F = rich (of course its not WB)
Knock = 00000 ( i guess so )

Logger one will sound more complicated but its much much better

Thanks for the help guys. I would have read the manual, but I don't have one.

The car was tuned by JT @ Performance Factory. I was there while he was tuning it and he showed me everything and said it was good. Had made a little more power. I asked him to make it a little safer even though he said it was already. I figured I wouldn't miss a few ponies til I build the motor.

At some points it went over 100. What does that mean?

You can download the UTEC manual from the TXS website.

Mine does the same thing, although probably goes to 101 only. You have to calibrate your throttle with settings in the UTEC. The manual explains it, but basically there's a off-throttle reading that you need to enter, and full-throttle reading.

Here it is from the manual...

TPS Minimum Value for Mapping is used to calibrate the TPS sensor. Modify the value so that the TPS value on the Dashboard reads 0% when the throttle is not being touched.
TPS Maximum Value for Mapping is used to calibrate the TPS sensor. Modify the value so that the TPS value reads 100% when the throttle is fully depressed. You can do this using the Dashboard with the key in and in the ‘ON’ position but the car off. Fully depress the throttle and make modify the voltage value until it reads 100% at WOT.

oh lol i see now were you went to 104% throttle.... my bad i just took a quick glance at the max boost point .... you should be fine as long as your throttle is reading a little more over 100% you are ok ... but since jt tuned it i know he tuned it for 90% and 100% column so it wont make a dif ...


I agree with you that conservative is the way to go ... +12.5 is good atleast you know that you can get more power by adj timing a little and that you are not at your mid point ....

For us F/I guys, it's RPM x Boost. It's basically a spreadsheet, and the "load site" is the cell that is used at a certain RPM and Boost pressure.

If you haven't read through the manual at least 2 times, I would highly suggest it. You learn quite a bit.

What is normal timing on a stock block? Avg of course.

On you data logger 1 it will tell you what the stock ecu timing wants to run vs. What the utec changes it to.

To many things to consider, what octane gas are you using? With 93 octane then you can still bump the timing above 6000rpm and 8psi to 14deg and still be on the safe side.. 12deg close to redline is a little low, maybe at peak TQ 12-13deg is good.. Looking at your logs, 10deg at peak TQ is kinda low for a custom tune.... Maybe JT saw some knock up in the higher rpm and that is why he went extra conservative on your car. As stated already for so many times, use logger 1 to log.

So, when tuning. Around where peak tq is made timing SHOULD be a little lower? Or are you thinking just maybe there was a reason he did it? I'm sorry if I am asking to many questions. I'm trying to learn tuning. Maybe not for the extent of complete tuning myself, but modifying it for add on's.

Is there anything (threads or sites) anyone knows that are good for learning?

Yes, you want your timing the lowest around peak tq coz that is where you have a higher tendency to knock, as your tq goes down then you can start adding timing...

as stated before read the manual 10 times and read it again while playing with the utec ..... there are a lot of articles out there in the wrx world about how to tune ....


heres a quick one to get you started ....

Okay, something I noticed while taking your advice of reading while playing with the Utec. Under the "Open Loop Fueling" menu where you would input you injector size, new & factory, it says "For Future use"

I looked around but couldn't find anything on it. Any idea what that's about?

I run a log on the way to work under Logger 1 and got a KNOCK count at 5952. Is this something I should worry about? The log is attached and was done in 4th gear.

v2.8 did away with entering injector sizing.

tough to say if that was real knock or not. but, if it was, there was no timing (or very little) pulled. Thats the worrisome part.

But at 11 degrees i doubt it was real knock. no wideband?

Yeah, I have one. Just don't have the program that combines the two. Upgrading to Haltec soon so not gonna spend the extra for it.

Nope....got another one for you guys! lol

Reading the manual it talks about tuning the 0% column for drive ability. It also speaks about setting the parameters so the Utec will be in control 100% of the time "Like a standalone", never in the 0% column. Would adjusting the 0% column help with hot start problems I'm having?
