Start Up Tune And Mass Air

[ra90coupe]

hi im looking for some help with a tune car has a 347 (big bore 331) 80lb injectors and turbo. currently have a abaco dbx and anderson series 4 pms. i was wondering if there wass a better mass air or if the abaco will work. its a mostly street driven car.

@madmike1157 may be a little busy with stressing over a bicycle purchase but we have @a91what that is our resident ms tuner guru, among others that will help you.
There is actually a turbo/tuner thread here that is informative.

That meter was sold by Anderson years ago. Do you have the software and cable to calibrate the meter? Is the meter calibrated now?

It will support over 1200cfm or 1500hp

i bought two of the abaco meters at differant times (though one was bad) from differant places one being anderson and never got the cd to reprogram lol. they both are set for 42lb. i tried to find abacos website with no luck.

 

[a91what]

No longer available. Do you have a copy of the transfer function curve?

 

[ra90coupe]

no i only got a receipt. i was gonna try anderson to see if i could send it back to be calibrated for 82lb. i tried to get ahold of the first place i bought from with no answer witch is normal (my engine builder) . i hate to buy another meter but if thats what has to happen then so be it. thanks for your help so far havent had much luck

The transfer curve for that meter with that calibration (42lbers) should be available somewhere on Google....

I'm not overly familiar with the pms system maybe @Decipha knows something.

The best way to tune with that meter is to "remove" any calibrations from it's tables (in other words, make V in = V out) and tune the car from there via the EEC (in your case with the PMS). I've been running one for about 6 years without issue.

 

[ra90coupe]

when the v in = the v out what does that do to the meter?

 

[NIKwoaC]

when the v in = the v out what does that do to the meter?

It just makes it so that it reports its true transfer function to the EEC. When your V out is different than your V in, you're "lying" to the computer, which is unnecessary when you have tuning ability via the PMS.

Did you reach out to AFM? Are they able to get you the software? If not, I can see if there is a way for me to share a copy with you.

 

[ra90coupe]

yes afm had a software cd it cost $10.00 shipped. unfortunatly ill be out of town for the next couple weeks so i wont get to mess with it until i get back

 

[NIKwoaC]

Ok, cool. The Abaco software is kind of confusing, let me know if you have any questions and I can try to help.

 

[ra90coupe]

finally got to play around with software. when making the voltage in the same as out should i just manually change the numbers in the voltage out colume
