2018 Forced Induction VQ Tuning Thread
I thought it might be a good idea for us to have a central thread where we could discuss tuning for our turbocharged/supercharged VQ cars. Give us a spot to pool our collective knowledge/experience.
I’ve predominately worked with ProEFI on a few VQ’s and Supra’s, a bit of familiarity with Haltech software too though.

As to not hijack Silva's thread...Circa 2018 FI Tuning Thread
I think you can do this ... I open the software, open my map I want to modify (ie not in the car) make whatever changes, save the map and then go upload to the car and reset the ECU(Control + F12)...am I missing something?
Yeah, I have those for sure but nothing much fancier than that!
I run a channel showing my O2 correction on my interface. I think you have to have Haltech's widebands installed for this to function as closed loop fuel control in conjunction with the target table.
I'll look for the Fuel/Ign - ECT Correction channel
I think there's a way to track the % of correction in the log too so you'll be able to see exactly what compensation your ECU's making. Think the channel is Fuel - Cool Temp Corr and Ignition - Cool Temp Corr, should give you a % value.
Edit: Maybe we should have a new FI VQ tuning thread?

^whats your method for auto-datalogging? Do you use the haltech onboard system? If so, what do you use as the channel activation?
came across this...
Meatbag - so if I want to use on\board activation and I want it to start recording when I hit boost (ie 0psi manifold pressure) I select my activation for 'manifold pressure' at '0 psi' - is it safe to assume it'll record when manifold pressure is at 0 psi, and above 0 psi, and while I'm in boost and then it'll deactive once I drop below 0psi? (I thought I did this but my datalog didn't indicate this methodology) - much appreciated

I use a laptop if im trying to datalog for any tuning, ill just use the onboard in a pinch. Channel activation will just depend on what im looking for. If its cruising stuff i usually use mph, if its at an event or racing, TPS or MAP or whatever turns it on when im trying to log a problem area.

Well my data logging question has been answered thanks guys. I run an AEM wideband that I have wired from the sensor portion of the gauge to the ecu so I can monitor and log 02. Will that enable fuel correction if the ECU sees an 02 signal? Ill have to go through my fuel/ignition correction tables and see if theres even anything there. I've noticed my car struggles to idle when its warmer outside but A/F stays constant at 13.5-1. Also when its warmer the A/F is consistently .3 richer than when cooler. We tuned the car at 11.6 on pump93/110 mix. When its warmer I see 11.3-11.2. I'm going to guess that has everything to do with with fuel correction tables. Also Im getting to the point of wanting to do some boost by gear things. I have been using an AEM true boost gauge/controller which so far has been great. I have the Haltech aux plug wired for to control the AEM mac3 solenoid I just have to plug it in. So i know theres a open loop and closed loop function for boost control which one do i use for boost by gear?

I'd log a quick pull from the bottom of third gear to redline with O2 Control disabled. Then enable O2 Control and and make another identical pull and see what the variance is between the two logs.
Log the percentage of correction too.

As far as O2 Control, I think if you go to Setup/Main Setup/Advanced, under the 'Functions' column you should just have to click 'O2 Control'.
