The .bin and .mpt have to match...

ok after downloading the turbonator t3 file i try to open it and start over fresh and i keep getting this crash, sorry its sideways, tried to fix that but fail.

[Turbo Joe]

ok figured it out. since this laptop runs win8.1, i had to set program compatability to win7 and it opens files now

[Turbo Joe]

ok after browsing double'ds idle issue thread I noticed some helpfull info about the cal config options tab on how to manually turn on the turbonator functions and it now works again although it doesn't work to well. At part throttle the 2step works but with heavy throttle it revs to high and makes the rev window to long so the turbo won't spool much.. maybe some tweaking will make it better. FYI I manually checked the step limiter and have it set to the cruise set switch. I set the off to 4k rpms and the on to 3600 then tried 3800. problem so far is it'll hit 4k the first time and go down in rpms but upon hitting the rpm on setting (3600 as an example ) it'll rev back up but passes 4k and goes to 5k then bogs back down to 3600 and repeats. I have an msd dis-2 with 2step but no room for it unless it goes under the drivers seat..trying really hard to not use it but may end up doing so..

I think i only used about 150rpm (or about whatever could be set) spread on mine, but 89 smec.

[Turbo Joe]

ok cool Wayne, I'll try to adjust that tomorrow since it's kinda late to be throwing revs. does your limiter hold it to the desired limit or go past it?

[wheming]

Mines an auto, so that may make some difference. But it does prevent the revs from going past the setpoint.
You can hear it in some of Mini's videos on youtube.
Search "SlugmobileMeanMini" if your interested in viewing them.

Last time out i set it up to about 3300.

i'm getting the hang of MPTune now but a question I have is can I adjust a block of cells at the same time? and is there a way to increase or decrease the cell value without typing in a number, i.e. using like a + or - key of sorts like in F.A.S.T.?

When you are looking at a certain map, the plotted points can be clicked on, and then they will highlight that point. You can then use the curser arrows to move the point, or you can click and drag.

thanks man, but I was talking about the maps for the sbec1 T3.. they are 3d maps, there are some settings that use the scale point system but in the fuel and spark maps, there are individual cells to adjust

[wheming]

No problem.
I'm no expert, still learning too. The 3d timing map in the smec intimidates me!

joe - up until now there has been limited tuning that i know of using the 3d tables so not much has been done by me in months as far as feature updates. you can highlight a range of cells (click and drag the mouse), right click and copy the cells and then paste them into a spreadsheet to adjust if you want. then copy the spreadsheet cells back into the mptune 3d grid. if you wanted to use the +/- keys in a cell what do you suggest as an increment size (.1, 1, 5)? could be a problem if some grids use large increments and others small. ]

lmk any suggestions.

I would love to have a .1 or .5 would be fine.. heck at this point a solid 1 would be fine too for increments when highliting a block of cells.. thats one feature about FAST that I love cause you can highlite a group of cells that your working on quickly and if you needed more fuel just +or less fuel - that group evenly while total values are still different allowing you to still keep peaks where needed in your map. honestly thats probibly all you could realistically add cause of the way the code is wrote. programs like ECM Link and hondata and FAST, AEM, Newer haltech software are all just that, newer code made to be able to be managed in a realtime 3d manor unlike our caveman code.

[Turbo Joe]

thinking a minute more about it a whole 1 increment would probly be the easist way to do it since some groups use different sizing methods like some cells will round off to the closest value that fits..that feature would make it super easy for those trying to get a tune close enough then fine tune wouldn't be bad at all cause it would be smaller cell groups.

ok - i'll see what i can do.

[Turbo Joe]

OMG what in the hell did I do? every cal I try to open gives me this error. I even tried to uninstall MP Tune then reinstall but I still get the same error. I CAN'T lose my cal.. last thing I remember was I was in MP Tune trying to see where the wideband settings and what not are and I clicked show -psi in InHg but I didn't see any changes and accidently closed mptune instead of that cal and now I can't open anything...PLEASE HELP !!

[wheming]

You do still have your previous version saved though, right?
Do you at least remember your last adjustments?
For me I'm trying to keep a notepad log of my changes between my cal versions. Otherwise i would never remember.

[Turbo Joe]

only have one file and its on the laptop, but I even tried to open other cals I have and I got the same error message so it's something in MPtune and re-installing didn't help me. thinking the pc remembered my setting I screwed up and defeated the point.

[wheming]

I don't know how to help. I have not seen that error. Looks like Morris has some info there to help though, but i don't know what it means.
In the /Application Data/MPTune/mpterrors file, is there any information?

[cordes]

I don't know about that error message at all, but I do know that keeping a log of each change you make is essential. I even note the weather while testing in the log. It makes for unbelievable gains in drivability and trouble shooting.
