Any SoCal guys running e85 and an SD2 chip?

[nolanator]

Hey everyone. Good morning!
I am looking to find someone to help me tune my car. Ideally I would like to find someone who is familiar with e85 and SD2 to get my VE tables looking perfect. My goal is about 750bhp, and I am not too proud to admit that I can't do this tuning on my own. Regardless of how many times I read the instructions, I just can't compete with real world experience. I would be more than happy to pay you for your services. To aid you in your tuning, I have an AEM UEGO wideband and PowerLogger, as well as a ScanMaster.

The setup:
-235ci. (factory block 0.030 over)
-Precision 6766CEA
-120lb. injectors
-ported iron heads
-206/206 roller cam
-AC 3500 NLU converter
-e85

Thanks!!
-Ryan

You should come down to the pizza cruise on the 26th.

Too far for me

It's not that hard. You don't have to use the tables initially.
Have you tried to do any tuning? Where are you getting hung up?

In a nutshell..... this is the method I use.
-turn on closed loop wideband correction across the board (idle, low boost, high boost)
-set cells 5,6,7,8 all to 128.
-put the car in 2nd gear and make part throttle pulls at low boost. 0PSI, 5PSI, etc... Run all the way up in RPM like this (as high in RPM as you intend to go if you were actually at WOT) and let the correction tell you how far off your VE table is. Record it all ofcourse.... use your foot to keep the boost as steady as you possible can as the RPM's increase.
-use these part throttle pull recordings to populate / tune up your VE table at these low boost pressures and you essentially get the "VE Shape" of what you engine does as you run up through the RPM range, and you did not have to beat the hell out of the motor at high boost or go stupid fast on the street in order to get the info.
-You know that as you go up in boost pressure, you will need more VE %, so you can pre-populate the higher boost areas of the table with numbers that are higher percentages. 2% or 3% more for each row. You're essentially taking the "VE shape" that you learned at low boost and carrying that shape upwards into the high boost areas.
-Now when you actually do go to a little more boost, a 10PSI part throttle pull for example, you will be closer to where you need to be.

In the end, you can turn off the closed loop wideband correction because your VE table will be all dialed in.

Also, download a copy of tunerpro RT and get the SD2 definition file for it from the turbotweak forum. It's much easier to look at data and make calibration changes on the couch than it is to sit in the car with the laptop connected.

thanks for the advice, guys. I haven't even taken it out of the box yet. I'm just wanting to make sure it gets done the right way the first time and didn't want to approach this completely uneducated
