Load Timing actually retards timing based on engine load. So low engine load will have the highest amount of retarding power. Then as engine load goes higher towards 100% then max timing is given. I'm running ZERO in this position. 

I remember Nick talking about this, but I would like to SEE what it's actually doing to the timing at different loads, different rpms, etc. How is this variable implemented (using what parameters) and how does it decide how much to retard using those parameters. 

 

I too am currently running 0.

Load Timing.....ugh sucks to explain as there is no good way to do so haha.  

 

So keep in mind that your RPM based timing sets your ACTUAL high limit for RPM at a given RPM,  AKA if you have 20* set as your 2000 rpm timing limit then at no point at 2k will you ever see more than 20*.  What load timing does is section off a * amount of that rpm timing to be related to load.  

 

 

 

So for this example load timing = 3*  RPM =2000 and 2k limit is 20*

 

Load = %25

Total Timing = 20* ( rpm timing) - %75 of 3* or 2.25*  = 17.75 of timing.  

 

Load = %50 

Total Timing = 20* ( rpm timing) - %50 of 3* or 1.5*  = 18.5 of timing.  

 

Load =  %75

Total Timing = 20* ( rpm timing) - %25 of 3* or .75*  = 19.25 of timing.

 

Load = %100

Total Timing = 20* ( rpm timing) - %0 of 3* or 0*  = 20 of timing.

 

So for this example load timing = 2*  RPM =2000 and 2k limit is 20*

 

Load = %25

Total Timing = 20* ( rpm timing) - %75 of 2* or *1.5  = 18.5 of timing.  

 

Load = %50 

Total Timing = 20* ( rpm timing) - %50 of 2* or 1*  = 19 of timing.  

 

Load =  %75

Total Timing = 20* ( rpm timing) - %25 of 2* or .5*  = 19.5 of timing.

 

Load = %100

Total Timing = 20* ( rpm timing) - %0 of 2* or 0*  = 20 of timing.

 

 

Pretty much I minus an inverted % of load timing based on load from 0-100%

Got it. You're reducing timing at lower load to try and spool the turbo(s) with less fuel. Well done!

I wouldn't say it is designed to help spool the turbo, more so to give a "weight" to load in the timing function.  Timing reduct should be used to help spool the turbo still.

From an MPG standpoint, you want high timing under low engine loads. Fuel Load Timing is counter productive. So on an economy tune, you want that set to 0. On a performance tune, I could see using that to gain good spooling of the turbo. Like on my economy tune I'm been using the "Low PSI Reduct" to kick the turbo up quickly on spool. Like today I jumped from 3* to 5* in this setting which gives a sudden drop of timing to light the turbo and then pops right back up nearly instantly. 

 

Gives me an idea on the performance tune though on how to use it I might play a bit tomorrow in Boise... (Evil laughter).

@Me78569 thank you for the list.  Reason I ask is because I have been averaging about 16 in town and only saw about 17 on the last tank that was mostly highway.  I need to pull back on a few things though that can help like low boost psi and tps wire tap.  Mine are way low compared to yours so bringing the fuel in quicker.

I would ensure your mpg tune doesn't have wiretap functioning at cruise.  It's unneeded fueling that is not really "manageable" to the level to get good mpg.  

 

Flash the latest hardfuel flash and update your vehcile for v2 quadzilla only.  Try that timing for cruise.  Ensure that at 65 mph you are seeing about 20* of timing.  I would be very surprised if you couldn't net low mid 20's

Can you put your signature in?

Level 2 FTW! Still making 40psi at 85% of fueling too :lol:

Ok. I'm enjoying the new flash. You have to make sure that the cruise pressure is high enough that you can keep it in cruise state. Then make sure your wire tap pressure is at least one pound over the cruise pressure. So I made the mistake of tuning for 55-65 MPH and then hit the interstate and struggled to keep the boost down enough to keep the cruise timing. I've got that corrected now. 

 

I did something unusual this trip and isolated my logs for my city driving. So after traveling around town in stop-go traffic for 10 miles doing miscellaneous shopping I still turned out a whopping 29.12 MPG logging only the city travel. This is with city traffic and speed limits of 30-40 MPH tops. My total for the tank right now is 21.6 MPG which isn't too bad. Still tweaking and tuning on the way home from here. I'm going to start splitting up my MPG logs and sampling more.

Do you need to start that low on canbus?  I would assume you would need to start in the 95 range for smoke free down there at sea level.  

 

Did you flash the latest I posted yesterday?  Cruise timing is better on that one, but you will need to bump your cruise setting to 4*

Wasn't aware you posted another one yesterday. File name looked the same, but I'll give it a shot.


Dumb question, but where did you post it?

 

Also no, I don't need to start that low but I was seeing similar result in fuel mileage with starting around 96 so trying to essentially force myself to stay out of it a little more.  Might work might not but I have seen no where near 20 like many here so hoping that will change.  

 

Also thinking about running over my valves again this weekend and check the lash.  It's been about 30k, and yes I know it's recommended every 100k but being that I have 110lb springs I worry a little more about wear and tear.

Pinned to the top of section.  

 

Something's up if you are only seeing 17 mpg though.  What's timing sitting at cruise? Canbus message?

 

I would run as high as possible on canbus without smoke.  That should ensure most efficient running.

I just tried updating my phone to the APK provided and got a version 1.9.6 but there is no custom tuning option. Maybe somehow I did it wrong. Do I need to use dropbox or can I directly download it to the phone.

I assume I need to chose beta tunning? As did before.
