EK1Pro Tune - Sixth Element

Chasing a little advice on my situation,

I went out last night with some friends to give the Stinger a good run against some other vehicles, was getting my butt kicked all night haha.

A good friend of mine, she has a 2021 stinger, Only two mods to the car, Cat back Varex exhaust and a Unchip piggyback Dynoed at 387 WHP, Looked under her bonnet and she has stock intakes running on Pump gas only (met her at the fuel station and she filled while I was there. She left my stinger for dead, gapped me a good couple of car lengths every run, this was from a standing start, 40kmh roiling start and 80kmh rolling start.

I thought maybe its me so we swapped cars and tried it all again and with me now driving her car I was gapping my own car driving hers. I tried against a Mustang 400WHP and was also gapped amongst other vehicles.

I have intakes, Secondary cat delete 2 1/2 duel Exhaust, Sxth stage 2 tune (480WHP, this is what it says on the tune description, I know this in not confirmed and can vary widely) plus a Stage 2 TCU tune Short shift running E40.

I stopped trying as I was worried something may be wrong, my car runs fine with no issues, feels good to drive.

Any suggestions on what I should be doing from here to confirm if the tune has any issues or maybe something else going on with my car? should I get it down to the dyno to test what power its making? I have sent more logs off to Ryan at Sxth and waiting for him to have a look. Any other suggestions that may help?

Log attached, the log settings are set to Ryan's request.
That tune is really weak imo max 17 psi of boost and max of 18 deg of timing boost tapers all the way down to 13 psi which is stock boost… you have no igition values selected so i cant see if your pulling timing making you even slower

Thank you, I will go and run a log with ignition values selected and post them up.

Did two quick runs, see logs attached.

Looks like you have a little knock but nothing crazy! Do you have a dragy?

No I don't unfortunately
Hard to say then without really seeing what kind of times your running… but either way you should 100% be faster than the other stinger. What gear are you starting in one a 30 roll?

We were all rolling in auto then flat to the floor. Does the Knock on the logs suggest my fuel is not sufficient enough? I have never tested the E85 from the pump where I source it. I have been mixing 22 liters of E85 to 38 Liters of 98 RON fuel.

If your already at e40 forsure then idk if you should bump it up… but i put around 7 gallons of e85 in my tank. You could try another liter or two of e85 to clean up the corrections.

How are you getting the equivalent of 15.9 gallons into the tank? Are you bone dry? I do like 5 gallons e85, 8-8.5 gallons 91 at 1/8 full.

Those figures are the ratio I use for the full tank. (60 Litre tank total volume as per the specs here in Australia) so 38 litres of 98RON and 22 Liters of E85 make a full tank. Now I have a full tank of close to E40. This is my set point.

From here when I need to refuel, if I plan on adding let’s say Half a tank of fuel (30 Litres) I will use 11 litres of E85 and 19 litres of 98 RON. This will keep the tank at the constant ratio for somewhere close to E40.

When you add E85 for the very first time you need to account for the standard fuel already in the tank to achieve the desired ratio/blend.

Ryan got back to me and said "ignition is not good" He asked me to try another log after I reset the adaption values using the EK1. I also have the PO33500 code again, tried to clear it with no success. I had this same code with one of the Stage 1 revisions that had a lot of errors.

The logs attached are with the settings requested by Ryan after the adaption reset, No ignition values selected. When it changed gears at WOT on one of the runs the boost felt awesome for a second then died straight off. Something is not right with it. Think I will go back to the Stage 1 which felt better and similar power then this one until Ryan can sort something out.

Flash to stock and see if you can get rid of the code. Thats your crankshaft position sensor and could be causing alot of issues. Get that sorted out first. Could be from the tune so flahing to stock and deleting code to see if it comes back

Good idea will give it a try. Ryan made a new revision 1.02. I will try and clear the code and give it a good test tomorrow.

Cheers mate, That worked, I flashed it back to stock and disconnected the battery for 10 mins, Started the car then checked and the code is cleared.

I will reload the new revision tomorrow and get another log off to Ryan.
 
Update,

I sent the last logs and being the weekend had to wait for Ryan to get back to me so left the car alone. Today Ryan asked for a longer run with 4 or 5 WOT runs in the one log, so I left home and logged the whole time, managed only 2 WOT runs on the one log.

The first WOT run felt normal but the second one felt no good at all. It started fine then felt like the engine was losing power and did not sound good so I stopped the run and did not manage the 3rd, 4th or 5th WOT as requested. I was worried I may do damage so drove the car home and left it at that. I have sent this log off to Ryan and see what he comes back with.

Log is attached, the format of the log is as Ryan requested, it is a very very long log. If you look at the WOT run at the end of that log (starts at line 1811) and look at the MAP (kpa) it drops off, Line 1857 is 172.9 kpa, the next line it drops to 117.4 kpa under WOT in 4th gear. Not sure if this is relevant or not but something did not feel good in the car right around this time and the reason why I stopped the runs.

If anyone understands what may be going on in this log feel free to explain.

somethings either wrong with your car or the tune is just absolutely botched... on your first pull.. when your wide open throttle timing drops to 4 degress ign timing... its a occuring every time you go wide open throttle ign timing just crashes.

Hmm, Maybe I should flash the original ecu file and try a log, I am running E40 though so would this cause an issue on the stock ecu file? If so I can drive till the tank is empty, refill with with 98 RON and test?

it should be fine... worst thing that would happen would be a p0174 lean code which isnt a big deal...my first couple revisions had timing crashes to i think you just need a new revision.

I am at a loss with it, not sure where to go from here, New revision 1.03 and its worse, over 5k rpm and the car loses lots of power and has lots of backfires at WOT. I think I should flash the stage 1 tune back into the car and give it a good run and log, if the issue is present under that tune that would point to my car as the problem. Think I will test this out before sending these logs off to Ryan. May pull the spark plugs and asses them.

Open to any suggestions anyone may have.

well for one you hit 1.7 bar in one of the pulls which is 25 psi (not good) and you also have less than 6 deg of ign timing which is WAY less than stock.... do me a favor... flash back to stock and do a pull starting in 2nd gear at 25 mph floor it and shift at 5900 rpm every gear till you hit 4th gear and send the log here
