it was the other stuff like being able to switch on the knock sensors etc that I sorted with using barrys version till friday night

From the very first release of the CAPA Flash Tuner software the knock sensors have been enabled. In fact everything that is enabled in the stock program is enabled...since that is the base we use.

There has also always been the 'number_of_knock_sensors' setting under system switches. By changing this value from the standard '1' to '0' (as you are now state you are doing) you are actually switching the knock sensors off. In fact when you highlight this setting with the cursor, a warning comes up on the bottom of the screen and states - "The number of knock sensors the engine uses. Setting this to zero disables the knock sensor function"

Its all there in black and white.....and always has been.

Re the SCT tuning software. Who said that the software is tuned on TPS vs RPM. I find this hard to believe.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You are quite correct. The main fuel calculation is a reasonable complicated Speed Density or MAP based affair, which is documented on pages 72 and 73 of the CAPA Advanced Ford Flash Training Manual, and covered in some depth by myself for those that attended the later training course. It exists on the main tuning menu under the header 'Speed_Density'

These guys are instead referring to the Base_Fuel_Table which is a lamba aim correction relative to this Speed Density calculation that trims the fuel supply to add an extra dimension to the system. It indeed is TPS vs RPM based, but is in no way the primary fuel calculation for the engine. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Martin for clearing that up.

As I didn't go to the training course best I have a look at the manual when it arrives

.. I reckon ~20 rwkw would be had with a $100 boost controller ( from any tuner ) till CAPA gets it's F6 map in order.. ( HINT HINT )

Please supply some details of the problem with your boost control

All I know is that both Extreme and Wog had issues trying to get more than 12 psi in the top end.

Best either of them post relevant tech info regarding the problem and what causes it/needs to be done to rectify ) I just saw two near identical boost curves.

I thought Extreme had contacted CAPA over this ages ago??

Maybe it was because they didn't use/didn't have 'J' revision?? I'm not sure..

I dled J yesturday, but what you are reffering to is the way that you use the boost tables and the mapping for the boost. I havent converted my F6 maps to use the method that is now being used on the XR6T maps on the F6's yet like is aid to you before because I need to get on the dyno with my car and do some testing with it first. What ever you do with an XR doesnt apply with an F6.

Hence why other tuners had been loading xr maps instead of f6 maps and driving around with the oil light on.

If you saw the original F6 mapping to what we have today its a huge difference.

if ben posts the dyno graph you will see there was no problem controling boost but a problem with bleeding enough air note same boost curve as yours only 1-2 psi less and no solenoid click hence proper boost control!

why use this method well wanted as much boost as I could get with out using 100% dynoduty as you would have so as if there were a change comanded boost will keep things safe!!!

with 100 % duty our boost curves overlayed perfectly! although this is fine it offers no insurance!!! nothing wrong with what you did just me being overly cautious!!!

Just a thought..... When I got my Unichip tuned by Ovaboost in wangarra, I had the Unichip boost controler doing the job.

Mick put a restrictor in the boost line to stop the volume of air heading towards the solanoid. Just a brass ball with a hole drilled in it..

Would this help the ford boost control solanoid??

pm'd you for your email adress last time we had the knock discussion but it did not work hence why I asked gerry and that's when he was talking to daniel etc and said he was not happy with the operation as such had not activated it but you say he was talking about the deisel????

thanks to barry I now have control!

screen shot from lap top for you!

this will give more boost but retards the swing valve actuator promoting uncontrolable boost spikes!!! ouch!!!

it takes a certain volume of air to control boost properly!

Yeah, he had some 'pre-drilled' ones and had a knack for knowing which ones to use for different cars and varying boost etc..
