Help with Data Logging needed
My car is a base model 997.1.
I had a tune installed and am having some issues with it. I only had the tune done because I put high flow cats on the car and had a stumble. The tune company is wanting a data log with the following actual values.
1. Engine RPM
> 2. Injection Time/Injection PW
> 3. Ignition Angle
> 4. Pedal Position
> 5. Actual Throttle Plate Angle
> 6.Actual Lambda Value Bank 1
> 7. Mean Fuel Trim Bank 1
> 8. Actual Lambda Value Bank 2
> 9. Mean Fuel Trim Bank 2
I started out trying to get this done with Durametric. The first obsticle I ran into was Durametric did not have compatibility with the variant on my ECU. I called their support and they were able to quickly get this resolved. The problem that I have now is that I don't have any actual values for the Actual Lamda Value for Bank 1 or Bank 2. Durametric basically told me that they have nothing to do with the values and if its not in there they can't help me.
I am looking for other means to get a quality data log. I have just purchased an ODBlink MF wi-fi unit. I also have a few phone apps like Torque Pro, OBDdoctor pro, and OBDLink. The problem I am having is I have several Lambda PID's to choose from and am not sure witch ones to use.
If anyone has suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. even if the solution is using a totally different data logger.

Post your question on the Turbo forums.... and look around the internet for Durametric threads. Google 'Durametric Tuning" for starters.

The Durametric guys you spoke to don't fully understand their product. They are just the USA sellers and 1st line of support. The product was written by a group in South Africa (IIRC) who reverse engineered the Porsche system. There is no real data dictionary for Durametric or any map of what is buzzing by on the CAN system available. I strongly suspect that if those values are needed by a Porsche tech, then that data exists in CAN system and Durametric sees it.
I did some light data logging myself and like you, were confused as it appeared some were the same or confusingly named... some returned bizarre values or junk.
