Default Rogue Logger/Tuner Discussion

I wanted to start a thread for promoting Rogue Logger/Tuner sharing and discussion.

I have been messing with it for a couple days and am in awe of this thing . I have used the logger to fix a couple issues that would have been much more difficult to track down without it:

First I had mis-wired the logger by attaching the logger ground to the pin 28 on the DME. The Logger functioned fine. The M-Tune uses pin 28 (DME side) for the MAP sensor output. I had looked at the DME pinout without realizing the previous MTune mod. Whenever I would give any throttle AFR's took a dive! It was very easy to find because the logger said I was running -28 inhg! LOL oops!

Then during breakin I would be running about 2200 RPM and all of a sudden the AFR's would go high out of the blue. The Rogue Logger log showed I was changing from primary to secondary DME maps at the time of the AFR change. I found a problem with my coding plug switch in a matter of minutes. This would have taken a great deal of time without the Logger.

Who is using the Logger? The Tuner?

Anyone used the Tuner to modify their MTune base maps?

Obviously I have it and have used it. One of the first things we found was that my DME temp sensor was erratic, causing some weird issues.

We've also used the tuner at the track and dyno to add fuel and timing.

I feel very fortunate that Josh put the time into this.

It will be interesting to see what the MAF measurements show for those using the std MAF. Could be a measuring system.

I'm only logging with my lm-2 as i can record with out a computer, but i do log AFR, TPS, MAP & MAF

I'm looking into a knock counter/detector and i may get the tuner but i can't really afford to send it in ATM because that's another month my car is off the road. I could have done it during the build but i've spent enough during it.

So most i can do is share logs

Yes, I would be great to have a general curve for comparison!

Paully, are you going to dyno the new motor?

Yep, after i sort out this low rpm misfire issue i've been having on Part throttle i'll take it to the dyno. I'm waiting for Josh to free up some time do he and dave can have a small talk with my new set up.

Shawn, in relation to the chart you posted, are the top numbers from the last dyno or guess numbers?

So far I have a few lingering issues I need to work out but it does run and drive. The little bit I did lay into it - I like it. It drives very differently from the 26/6.

I'll throw up a separate post tomorrow.

Do you reckon you can email me a 2.85 log and dyno? I want to get your data into 500rpm increments as a maf vs hp graph so i can roughly get some numbers from my log? And i'll post results

This is what i came up with, If more people can send me a dyno and a logged run, I can get a more accurate graph.

Shawn sent me 2 logs one from the 350 hp run and the other from the 410 hp run.

With a bit of playing around, i got this. I can't say i am making 400 rwhp because the logged MAF voltage wasn't consistant with the 2 runs, so i used an average.

I did this so i could get a rough torque graph to see how my engine is producing power. Pretty interesting what i came up with.

By the looks of things, if i sharpen up my boost from when the wastegate opens to full boost i may be able to increase my peak torque and bring back my peak torque a few hundred RPM

Just note the HP/Torque before 100 won't be accurate as theres no logged dyno graph to pull a maf voltage from.
