Digital truck scale near my old work. The owner said he keeps them well calibrated because it cost him too much money to be underweight or overweight on his loads. It’s a short scale intended to weigh one axle at a time, but I managed to get my whole car on it.The Dark Side of Will wrote:
What kind of scale?
VEMaster + TTS Datamaster = Your best tuning friend for these computers. Should take care of your fuel tables at idle and part throttle (non-PE mode) and all that will be left is tuning spark and WOT fuel.crazyd wrote: My BLMs are currently at 110, and until I see that come a lot closer to 128, it would be counterproductive to do a dyno run. But I'll tell you what. If someone with MAP tuning knowledge on a 730/262 or similar ECM would like to review my current BIN and help me get to that point, ensuring my AFR is dead on for max power at WOT, and we take up a collection for the dyno run, I'll do it.
I've already got the last three. The 110 BLM I mentioned was obtained from Datamaster. I'll see about getting myself a copy of VEMaster.Sinister Fiero wrote:VEMaster + TTS Datamaster = Your best tuning friend for these computers.

What you will need:
-VEMaster 2.0 or 2.1 for "8D" code mask
-TTS Datamaster 8D
-Laptop PC
-Laptop to ALDL interface
I've already run one of these logs, so that part's done. I drove around for about 15 minutes while datalogging.Sinister Fiero wrote:Datamaster is a very nice scan tool program that can save/store a very detailed log of all the scan data gathered during a data collection cycle to your laptop pc's HDD.
I have had an O2 sensor plug installed in my exhaust pipe just for that purpose. Now where do I get a WB?Sinister Fiero wrote:For WOT fuel tuning, I suggest obtaining a WideBand O2 sensor and using that for the best results.
It's difficult to do a log to that level of detail in this car because it's so powerful and has such short gearing. Giving it anything more than about 5% throttle is the fast track to highly illegal speeds, and there just aren't many places to do that around here without spending a night in jail! Nevertheless, if you'd like to take a look at the log I ran, I'll send it to you.Sinister Fiero wrote:A note about getting DM logs for use with VEMaster tuning: You want to hit as many cells as you can during the drive in which you are logging data. These "Cells" are known as the stored fuel trim values (BLM cells). There are typically 16 cells used in normal driving in these computers and they are divided up by engine load and rpm. It also takes time for the BLM to learn a given value, so make sure you drive the car a while without resetting the computer before you take a log for use with VEMaster. You may also need to adjust the blm cell boundries in the .bin file to make them work better for this purpose. Most stock $8D code masks have a very narrow boundry for the BLM cells pertaining to the RPM side of the equation, and you will definately want to address that in the chip programming before getting these logs.
YOu know there are these things called a dyno. You can go there and put it in 4th gear and do 4th gear pulls all day without having to worry about breakign the law. You should know what a dyno looks like right? MotorTV said you went to one already. Which you still haven't commented on after I told you who said it. So it must be true?crazyd wrote:
