Upgraded Fuel Map on ECU (Questions??)
I was just wondering what this actually means and what effects a richer fuel map has on tuning the car.
Q1: does this basically richen the whole map by a certain percentange, or just certain parts of the fuel map?
Q2: With an upgraded fuel map, does this mean if you were running a raised fuel pressure to compensate, the upgraded map will compensate for some of the added pressure, thus making it possible to lower the fuel pressure slightly?
Q3: Am I just totally lost on the whole subject?
Q4: Should I be flamed and called a n00bie?
I have tried search and found pretty much nothing.
I am running a skunk2 ECU (from about 2 years ago). It's a P72 ECU.
I want the knowledge as to what the richer fuel map encompasses, and it's effects.

Re: Upgraded Fuel Map on ECU (Shft@9GSR)
Basically what you have is a prog that just dumps more fuel from where ever SK2 programmed it.... It very well could be through the whole band.... It will have a different curve around your VTEC x-over as well as on the ignition timing... I can see that from Q1 that you basically understand what is going on... Really it can do either it all depends on the prog. On Q2 the ECU isn't quite that smart so it's not going to start pulling fuel to compensate for a raised value fuel pressure. No you shouldn't be flamed on this is a cool question and i hope that i answered so that that you could understand it... Peace
