be sure to log TPS as well so you know in the log when you are at WOT. :)

Looks pretty good , little knock at around 4200k

TPS = Throttle Position Sensor

It will tell you in the log if you where at WOT or not. :)

hey bryan,

narrowband 02 readings. Bank 1 is the 02 sensor in the turbo 02 housing. Bank 2 is the one after the cat.

Bank 2 doesn't matter.

I log bank 1 because it's useful to see fluctuations of it in the log. It's not to be used as an accurate AFR reading. (A wideband 02 sensor and AFR gauge is needed for that). You should see a nice steady number for 02 bank 1. 92, 94 or 96. If it's jumping all over the place your fuel is also all over the place.

make sense?

In a perfect situation, you would be using a Wideband AFR guage and 02 sensor as well. Mine is sitting on my shelf waiting to go in. I will be using the Zeitronix, http://www.zeitronix.com because it's a great size, has a logger, and you can also log EGT and boost with it as well (with the proper adapters). Plus he is a avid DSMer that really supports us.

you know what i've noticed.. that i should probably have another person in the car while i'm doing this. it's kinda difficult to hit the stop button and save it while i'm hauling ass on the road..
also since my car is flashed... i could probably take the rpm level up abit more. :idea:

You didn't go WOT untill 5500rpms.

To get a good log, Always go WOT from approx 2500-2800 rpms to approx 7000-7600rpms.

Stock revlimiter is 7600 rpms.

And you can wait to hit stop after you have slowed down. :) Yet another reason why logging TPS is important. :)

so knock is when the timing drops a little? please excuse the newb question.

that's how i understand it... but i was also reading that as you reach full boost timing may drop slilghtly and then raise slowly.... but i'm a noob at this too...

Look pretty good.

Where you dynoflashed for your 272 cams?

5800 to 6700 goes rich, then leans out a bit.

That is a good idea since that area can be picky detonation wise, but I think your car is leaving some power on the table with the timing and fuel.

Have you dynoed your car?

it was flashed for the cams... but i've never dynoed it... if i get some time and some shop around here has time when i can make i want to dyno it.. i'm hoping to be somewhere near 300.. but i think that might be too optimistic... most people with same mods are about 280ish... i have been meaning to call gruppe-s to schedule dyno time when i go to pick up my wheels that should be in in a few days... :) bronze weds sport sa 90s..
