Re: Vy commodore
Noticed in my last log that intake air temps were around 10deg/c higher then usual. I was driving around for awhile in start stop traffic and it was a hot day, before I logged that. So I’ll have to keep an eye on that. Refitted just the plenum spacer and done another data. Was a pretty cool night, so no high iat’s. Just something I’ll have to keep an eye on. A little bit of spark knock mainly into and out of throttle. Also measured the factory air box opening. Was 3.5” and the mace one is 3”.

Re: Vy commodore
Been keeping the changes in the tune fairly small. a little bit of fuel and some trans pressure here and there, while logging changes

Re: Vy commodore
The MACE CAI is a improvement over the OEM unit, however it needs some help. I add a snorkel from the side of the CAI going down to just under the radiator support using a old VN-VR V6 intake pipe and that really helps. Could make it out of PVC pipe too I guess.

Re: Vy commodore
Might have to do some more testing on the cai. I’d like to see what kind of iat’s I’m getting on a warm day without it all being as heat soaked as it was last time. I ended up re doing the fueling today. It didn’t look right. I’m glade I did. I fucked up and wasn’t getting everything up to operating temps and I’m sure I was getting some transient fuel in there too. Kept everything as steady state as I physically could, with much better results. I think next up I need to get a wideband in there.

Re: Vy commodore
Where do you steady state tune? There is nowhere anywhere I can drive long enough to achieve steady state that is quite.

Re: Vy commodore
Pretty much just broke it up into zones as described in the book, and logged each zone accordingly. Depending on what zone I was logging, dictated where I logged. Wot I use to do over where my dad lives, as he lives up in mountains, so I can hold high load easy. Over where I live it’s pretty flat
