If someone could chime in please.
I was reading the information on hondata's website and they said yous hould idle in column 1-2.
So I wanted to know if i should check my Idle screw and stuff or if its comon for column's 2-3 to be the idle ones while using crome.

 

Each EMS may work slightly different from one another. I guess the question is where is your motor idling at?

 

I idle solid at 800-850. I get bounce between 2 and 3.
When I drive and log I'll get some readings in colmun 1.

 

Do you have a vacuum gauge installed? what are your readings? does the gauge correspond with the proper column?

Also, more specs on motor are needed. Is it cammed? Have you done a valve adjustment recently? INFO INFO INFO

OT: Are you really from Pawnee? Ever seen Parks and recreation?

 

I'll get a gauge and check against crome and see what I get. (never thought of this)

The engine isn't anything special
B20b (Jdm High Comp)
62mm ITR TB and 3" throttle body spacer (all port matched)
Hytech Knock off Tri-Y
3" intake pipeing with Velocity stack
3" Exhaust
3" magnaflow muffler 2x2.5" outlets
12lbs flywheel
P28 using crome pro/gold

I just did valve adjustments about a month ago, set them to dead center of factory specs.

Lmao, Pawnee isn't a real place. If it was though it would have been where I grew up. (I love the show and watch it every week!) Knope 2012!

 

every motor i tuned idles in columns 2,3

 

Your motor should be pulling 20-23" vacuum at idle if its good and healthy... Thats usually around the 2nd or 3rd column depending on how your scalar is set up.

 

I second this. Haven't been tuning for awhile now but when you mentioned this it reminded me. I have never seen my car idle in the first column.

 

Thanks guys,
I confirmed with my dyno tuner and he said same that they always bounce between 2 and 3.

I bought some books on engine calibration and dyno tuning and in the books they said using standalones you should idle in 1-2, so i'm guessing its just different systems different columns.

Which then leads to my next question. What is column 1 used for?
I see datalog a/f's in it.

Thanks again.
