Any reason not to use Analyze Live under boost?

For discussing Phil Tobin's TunerStudio MS is the MegaSquirt edition of TunerStudio, a next generation tuning application. It provides the ability to configure and tune all MegaSquirt controllers and is 100% compatible with MegaTune ini files and msq's.

Any reason not to use Analyze Live under boost?

Post by WonkoTheSane »

The subject kind of says it all, I've been running TS for a few hundred miles now, and I'm pretty happy with the <100 kPa maps it's come up with, so I'm wondering if it would be okay to auto tune during boost...

Any reason why not to?

I do it :) But...

But, you do never know when something might go wrong, like a wacky sensor reading.

I generally recommend leaving "Update Controller" not checked if you are doing WOT runs. The updates wouldn't have enough time to make a difference at WOT any way and they would interfere with data capture. So, with it unchecked, it will come up with the recommended corrected table and you canned look it over for a sanity check before sending it to the MS.

It does give me a bit more confidence if the guy who wrote the software does it :)

I'll definitely do what you suggest and not auto update, seems like a good idea.

Thanks for the awesome program :)

I have created a cell that I call VENext in MLV.

[Gve]*[AFR]*[Gego]/(100*[AFR Target])

Note that it changes a little with code versions but the resulting output is great for the sanity check.
