Not so "Smoke Show"

[DIRTBIKEZ]

I burned the chip myself so I know it is not a position issue. The 100 file seems to fuel heavier at lower rpms resulting in more black smoke. The 120 smoke show lights the turbo so quickly the only smoke you see is gray under WOT pushing 25psi. Guess I was just expecting more as my last truck with similar mods, a DP tuner, zf6 and ABs would really roal some coal.

To me it sounds perfect but we all know how I hate excess smoke.........


The following is just a suggestion unless you want to get ahold of Bill and talk with him about what is going on. Don't get angry....it's just an option.
It's no big deal to rename the files in your computer. If you like the smoke that the 100 HP tune makes, just rename it "Smokeshow" and call the present smoke tune 120HP.

ON EDIT:

I just realized that I edited DIRTBIKEZ post instead of quoting. I HATE where the edit/quote buttons are.

Sorry, DIRTBIKEZ. I didn't mean to edit it. I didn't change anything.

you can always email the 2 files to me or cody and we can look at them and give you feeback. My smoke show is based on the 140HP. What elevation are you at? if you are above 4500 ft you are into the high altitude settings which can change your results
Do you have minotaur too or just the FU chip setup
PM me I can send ya my email addy or get me on AIM

DJ,

Unless you have the .mdf for an 02-03 (which Bill likes VDH2) then looking at DIRTBIKEZ files won't do you any good. You could open his file with your VRAA6 but most of the values will be totally bogus.

I seem to remember bill said FN below 1200's were similar. a easy way for him to check would to be look at the low boost fueling which is a flat table at about 95 on the map for the smoke show...

I was looking at someone else's tuning and saw LBF at 115 in one tune.....

Dang tune runs good though. I would need a different turbocharger and forged/aftermarket rods to "trust" the tune for a drive longer than 5 minutes.

Yeah, it might be similar enough. It's like most of these different PCM families.....some tables "line up" between different families while most don't. Heck, even between similar families, most don't match.

DIRTBIKEZ could send it to you and you might get most of the maps to work with your definition file. It might be a good challenge for you.
