    Hoping to hit the easy button on this question.

    The one thing I would add is it seems you can only data log one bank and at the moment ...I have two banks doing something different from each other for some reason. and that is seen on the DLG1 Not a mistake between the two analog outputs.

    Hoping to hit the easy button on this question.

    I went to the site and found the formula. I forgot that there is an LC-2 device as well, not just the gauge. Live Link has a LCI formula that is right for the LC-2. 0 volts is 7.35 and 5 volts is 22.35 (v*3)+7.35 ,or something very close to that. One thing I hate about the innovate wide band...

    What would you do?

    I like some country but not much. Rebel Son and the Pine B ox Boys are interesting , though not sure what they are classified as. Banjos and steel guitars are neat even to this metal head. If you're into music check out Spotify.

    Hoping to hit the easy button on this question.

    I want to data log my Innovate DLG1 dual wide band o2 gauge. I did recently, but only in a voltage, which means nothing without knowing how to convert it. I'm using live link 2 and when I had a single AEM everything was great (just click AEM), but now not sure which to pic for the conversion...

    What would you do?

    I guess a reality check on that would be songs now 30 -45 years old for the most part.

    What would you do?

    I'll be fine ... that was over 20 years ago, though I don't think I got over it until the past 5 years. I don't know most songs unless they are heavy metal or rock and around 20- 30 years old.

    What would you do?

    My son is dead so I guess I have the luxury of that as well? WTF is your point ? I posted a question about tuning a car in the tuning section.

    What would you do?

    Some mechanical issues has been changed so now I might not have to worry about a runaway idle. I also have the dashpot set close to as low as possible , because I hate pushing in the clutch and the engine flaring and free revs that take forever to settle back down. I just wasn't sure how rich...

    What would you do?

    yes I'm trying this myself. Unless I peg the MAF on a wide open pull, I think I have the car set up nice aside from a few tune issues. The biggest thing was getting a big enough recirculating valve for the super charger and locating it before the intercooler.

    What would you do?

    Built engine with a d1-sc super charger. The engine can run 850 rpm warm, but not if I hit the brake hard, so that's why 1000 rpm idle . The issue starts the second the brake pedal is pressed... Same for my cold stall issue. 13.5 is what I'm seeing on the wide band cold and around 15 warm. The...

    What would you do?

    I have a car that runs great hot, well after 2-5 minutes . It will stall when braking any time before that. A 2000 mustang GT and I'm thinking the hydro boost brakes create just enough draw on the power steering pump to stall the engine. I don't believe this car has a switch to add rpm for that...

    Blow through or draw through Mass Air Flow sensor location?

    So after changing the pipes and location of the recirculating/ blow off valve to pre intercooler I now have a MAF add count variation of around 10 max. Going back to the start we see 100 max. Could a real tuner have made this car run good with the mechanical short comings in the set up? I don't...

    Blow through or draw through Mass Air Flow sensor location?

    I did so me research on that and many thought having it after would be better for power. And what made sense there was probably killing my drivability There might be a slight edge in all out racing having the blow off valve after the intercooler, but in my opinion and experience no gain would...

    Blow through or draw through Mass Air Flow sensor location?

    That's where mine is and it is fun at times and at others not with a stick shift. I have to go way out of my way to keep it quiet and it is a sound here people aren't used to.

    What is the best sparkplug to run in a supercharged 2v modular engine?

    My car has been through more plugs than should be needed. It isn't easy to change them either. Not the end of the world as far as hard but it involves removing the fuel rails and the mess that comes with that. I have run the NGK tr6 not sure what else and I don't like them. These copper core...

    Blow through or draw through Mass Air Flow sensor location?

    Today I did some work to the super charger pipes. I put the recirculating/ blow off valve in front of the intercooler instead of after and I can't believe how well this car ran today... though that was not the only change, but I think the one that has it running and driving somewhat like a bone...

    Is there a formula to base supercharger cfm at a rpm to dictate recirulating or blow off sizing?

    My issue to the best of my knowledge started with changing the clutch. I went with a lightweight twin disc set up 10 inches. I didn't think about it at the time, but the car now seems to need a higher rpm to idle cold. The flywheel is aluminum and always was, but I'm sure the clutch and...

    Blow through or draw through Mass Air Flow sensor location?

    TIAL Q 2psi after the intercooler maybe 1.5- 2 feet from the MAF.

    Blow through or draw through Mass Air Flow sensor location?

    It is in the straightest shot between the front of the tire and the throttle body. A little over 10 inches straight before and after. What helped the wild MAF fluctuation a lot was increasing the blow off valve size. had a 20mm recirculating valve and then added a 50mm valve as well. As is the...

    Blow through or draw through Mass Air Flow sensor location?

    I have a car that was draw through at one time. Someone changed it to blow through, I have been working at getting it better. No luck there and thinking about trying to go back to a draw through MAF location. This is a built engine and long tube headers making over 12 psi with a D1SC. My issues...

    Tuning issues 2v 4.6

    If you want a cleaner look I'd run a BA5000 in the smaller pipe. That's what I did. Not sure yet that I won't peg it though. I have 3 inch pipes . SCT has values for a lot of size pipes for that MAF.

    Tuning issues 2v 4.6

    There are some high dollar tensioners for the cars, you can convert to eight rib set up pretty cheap ( because trucks are), I think they make 10 rib kit?, My car has the AC pump deleted and it tensions the belt there. 6 rib belt yet and zero belt slip. I do worry the belt is so tight it might...

    Tuning issues 2v 4.6

    If you're seeing 409 at around 1000 rpm idle I would think you have something wrong. clocking of the MAF or lack of bypass or something. I'm new to this as well, so it is just an opinion. My procharged 2000 GT is bouncing around 150-190 add counts at 1100 rpm.

    chasing my tail.

    I pulled the plugs again and did a leak down compression test. Nothing wrong with the engine. The two plugs that were fouled must have been from junk injectors leaking, which I replaced last time I changed plugs. Plugs all look good now. I didn't explain the difference well last time with the 1...

    chasing my tail.

    Today I got things working pretty good. I would need to pull spark plugs to confirm the tune is going right. I'm working on a car that I believe has one or more bad cylinders. This is causing a misfire causing a lean wideband reading when it is really to rich for the bad cylinders. With new...
