Beta Testing RevBox

[thisaznboi88]

Just got this in to play with from Ethane on v.6.p. It can control A/F and hopefully in the near future timing advance. There is also datalogging feature on it. haven't installed it yet because its cold and must do homework. So maybe this weekend.

AFR is set for 13.1

up and running. FYI make sure your battery is fully charged and don't have your car on while your flashing. My battery died half way into the flashing process. Got a new battery and then reuplinked it and flashed it again. You need to flash again or your car will not start. lol I freaked out.

So far the car drives a lot different. Its more tame yet powerful. Feels like my mom lexus. That could be because the ECU was reset and it feels fast again. Will update as soon as the roads are better. Only did a woot run 1-2 gears. Snow tires or not. If its icy you will slide. lol

13.1 AFR. So far it looks like the car has only learned 1 set. Correct me if I am wrong. I did the run without water/ methanol since it needs to be recaliberated

You have an afr gauge, or are you reading off the stock afr sensor?

[thisaznboi88]

stock sensor for now. I have the option of adding a wideband later.

Tim where do you recommend to have a dyno done in Ohio? That's on my to do list during spring break

[timot_one]

Dyno or dyno tuning? How far are you willing to drive? There really aren't any places in OH that are close to you in WV. There are only 2 shops I would bring my car to and they're not exactly close.

[thisaznboi88]

just straight up dyno. Willing to drive 3-4hours? Just need a reputable shop that knows that they are doing and doesn't charge me an arm and a leg. I want to do 4 runs. 2 with water/meth and 2 without. Also would be nice if there is a costco around so I can use my refund check. lol 

[timot_one]

Well, I wouldn't go to SlowMotion.  They are very unprofessional and even if you have a dyno appointment scheduled, don't expect them to keep the appointment or be on time.  If it were me, I'd make the drive to Innovative Motor Works to have Derek dyno your car.  They are very professional and are a well organized shop.  On top of that, they're pretty cool and have some really nice cars come through.

update

[thisaznboi88]

Product is working like it should for open loop tuning. Yellow line is WOT and red is AFR. At WOT AFR drops down to the targeted ~13.1. When out of the WOT range it drops back to stock map. Stock map AFR is ~14.6

[06RockHead]

I would really like to get in to this but I really dont know what im doing when it comes to the ECM and stuff and what all the little jargon is. Basically im afraid im going to mess my car up lol.

[thisaznboi88]

lol Just worry about the yellow and red line

Yellow line is throttle, red is air fuel ratio (AFR). Stock AFR is 14.6 with the piggy back it changes it to 13.1 so that you can get more power in layman's term

[06RockHead]

How well does it work though? I'd be happy to participate I drive almost 50k a year

It works fine when you are doing WOT runs but for DD it doesn't change that mapping. I think only the AEM FIC can do that right now and that looks be anywhere between 500-1000 dollar depending if you do street tune or dyno tuning. Both of them can't do advance timing tho.
