Default AE, cold start enrichments, and base fuel enrichments for ectune.

Question...I just tuned a fuel map for my low cam
And high cam.

My ignition corrections are disabled.
Question for the ignition corrections being
Disabled at the stock value(1080 mbar)...when this selection is checked off, all of my ignition
Corrections that are inside my parameters are disabled right ? So they won't come into effect ? If this is true then I don't have to go back through the ign corrections and set some of the values that are either advanced or retarded to 0. Example for like a certain iat or ect degree..?
This way I have freedom to properly tune my fuel and ignition tables ?

The other thing I wanted to ask is Am I fine with the stock values ectune provided for me in the parameters as far as fuel correction and such or should I turn all that off and re-create a new map ?

Don't disable ignition corrections all of the time, leave them enabled per the default settings.

1. Use the stock values in the software.
2. Tune the car as you normally would.
3. Let the car cool down completely, then tune the engine coolant fuel compensation parameters during warm up etc.

But how am I ever going to setup a proper driving stoochiometry afr map with the ignition corrections enabled if the ignition is going to effect my afr datalogging? What else do I need to disable ? Do I need to disable the ect and iat ign corrections ? just put all that down to 0 ?

i was always told just leave the ignition corrections alone when out of boost, and lock it in boost. i dont believe it will mess with the afr logging.

I have neptune but the only things i have disabled are ELD (my wideband is using it), 02 heater and knock sensor. once the turbo spools i'll use the "lock ignition above load' box. does ectune have something like that?

I'm with mtber on this one.

let car warm up, tune car using the base fuel and ignition tables
let car cool off, tune car using correction factors

on a side note I also do the same thing for the battery correction factors. After tuning the car, I unplug the alternator and tune the car on 12 V by editing the battery correction factor for the injectors just to make sure whatever preset battery tables for those specific injectors are correct.

Okay mbter, I apologize for Questioning your authority further along for fuel corrections. I am concerned about finishing up with the fuel maps and moving to ignition corrections. Should I disable ect, iat, AE ignition corrections or leave the stock settings provided by default, during ignition tuning ?

Leave the stock settings, use them as a base & tune off of them....

Are you talking about "disabling ignition corrections after anything up above a certain set load has been approached ?" Then yes it does. There is a specific value u can target where this comes into effect. But it states that IAT/ECT/GEAR/ANTI-LAG corrections are still active. What exactly is the purpose of this little help feature anyways if those ign correction parameters stated are still active during Real Time programming.

According to what I'm reading, Looks like that this feature enacts once the load has gone up above atmospheric pressure ? But what exact ign corrections are disabled ? I'd figure the following would be disabled up above atmospheric pressure, but guess not ? Can anyone chime in on this ? :/ I'm really worried that it is going to effect my Ignition tuning since I am approaching that very soon enough.

Did some research..

I guess it's only related to subtle ignition corrections, part of the main basemap in which we have no control over in our parameter tables.
