^ yeah just click on "FlashPro" with the FP connected to your computer, then click the Download button next to the calibration you want. This will pull it down to FPM, then just go to file->save as and save it as the filename you want.

 

[yoooooo]

and how do i change the govenor...the FP shows 200 but when i tested it its only 115mph

It sounds like a good idea actually to have a long datalog. However, you run into the issue of being "lost" in the middle of the datalog in knowing where and how you were driving at that particular time. My recommendation is to record many different smaller datalogs, each datalog with a different driving style (different load for example), and then you can get your info that way.

As far as how to tune the high cams, I vaguely remember the help docs mentioning to lock the high cams in a similar manner as the low cams (basically lowering the hell out of the vtec crosspoint) but I can't remember as to how much.

Can others fill in on this one?

I understand what you are saying about running a bunch of small datalogs, but my only problem when I did that is keeping track of overlapping data. I might correct the same mapping area twice due different datalogs in the same section. With the short datalogs you almost have to run 1 datalog at a time, tune, retest, tune, etc... Without a dyno or a nice empty stretch of road this can be very problematic.

The way I can keep track of where I am on a long datalog, is to zoom in on the graph at a particular section and follow along with the cursor... this highlights each section of the lambda maps as they are being read on the graph.

As for the high cam tuning... I have just been doing high rpm runs thus far. Varing loads and speeds, I do however need to try and step into vtec at different rpms to make sure I get the entire vtec window covered. Or I could do as you said and lock vtec well below the normal rpm.

Sounds like you are on the right track, and now I see and understand what you are saying. It is easier however with the stretch of road and doing small incremental tunes so that you can see the results more quickly. However, if that's not an option for you, then by all means make your long "trek datalog" and tune it that way.

How inaccurate does Flashpro make your fuel gauge?

Mine's accurate.

 

[Silversweet09]

Mine's off by a few bars...Anytime I fill up, it's always 2-3 bars shy of full and wherever it lands at after driving 3 miles it knocks off another bar.

I hate my fueld guage to be honest with you.

With mine, I can fill up and when I used to get about 40miles off the first bar, I now get about 30, and after the first bar is gone the rest just fly away. One thing I notcied though was that when it showed I had about 2 bars left and filled all the way up, It only filled 9.5gals where it used to fill about 10-10.5

When dataloging for partial throttle tuning... Is it necessary to raise the vtec point, to ensure you don't switch to the high cam during vtec window loads? Can you lock the vtec point low and run the datalog on high cam for partial throttle tuning as well?

yes you can do both and they help.

^ You can also change the "VTEC window pressure" and "MAP WOT determination pressure"

for some reason it sometimes engages prior to the set pressure. and it happens on k-pro too lol.

it's not all the time though. but to avoid this i adjust it by rpm too.

Right now my vtec window is set at 4750-5800. For low cam tuning should i set both values to 7000 and make my runs from 1000-6000? Then set vtec at say 4000 and make runs from 3k to 8500rpm for high cam tuning?

Also had a question for partial throttle lambda values. Hondata recommends 14.7 for all, even up near redline. Is this the same for high cam fuel values as well?

And as far as the fuel values when you let of the throttle... on my datalogs the values go extremely rich (about 10.5), before they head up to the 29.8. I know that it is normal for it go very lean when the throttle plate closes, but what about the rich portion that shows up on my fuel tables? Do I need to take fuel away here or leave it alone?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I answered some of these questions in the other FP chat thread...

Sorry I didn't check back with the other thread... Thanks for the help, I will try to do some more fine tuning tonight.

Coming home today, I drove 15 miles with no bars...filled the car up and only took 9.5 gallons. Drove 4.7 miles and looked down, two bars were gone LOL.

i have windows 7 and even with the directions i can't figure out how to install the program.

1. click the start orb
2. right click on "Computer"
3. click "Manage"
4. click "Device Manager"

i got to here, but i don't see flashpro.

i downloaded FP from hondata.com because my disc wasn't working. downloaded the beta version.

so what the heck do i need to do to get this thing working?!!?!?!?!!

 

[mucter]

You have the FP plugged into your computer, yes?

 

[dany08fa]

You have the FP plugged into your computer, yes?

i finally got it too work thanks too you!!! =]

anyways just got done driving my car. didn't know the new updates had skunk2 stuff on them

i have a sri s2rh and catback, but i'm on the map of cai s2rh and catback. that's close enough right?

anyways thanks again.

 

[mucter]

Yeah, the RH and exhaust are what dictate your fueling most. The intake won't make a big difference.
