I didn't want to post this but.... should a cold air intake be resulting in both positive and negative AFR's ?
This is logging from a stock map

It's concerning me tbh and it's not what i expected ...

Thank you for the reply. So you would expect this behavior from an unscaled Maf when looking at total correction ?

Do you have a good reference to read regarding finding the correct final correction?


My expectation for the change in flow rate with a cold air intake was that it would read lean across the board
Since Mafs measure the rate of cooling to operate...

These would be my initial corrections. I just didn't think they would be this large..... It almost makes me want to check for vacuum leaks

Does anyone have input on this? I'm worried this is mechanical as opposed to a tunning problem
Maybe someone could post the change in there maf scaling with a cold air intake (I know it won't be exactly the same)

Also feel free to call me out if I'm being stupid about something

Edit here's a random stage 2 map comparison i found online

Thank you this makes complete sense.... and is what I would expect.

But if this is how it works then why am I getting both negative and positive afr learning

The method you described would mean a cold air intake leans the engine out for the complete table

Unless I'm mistaken

Thanks man you've been a big help.

I was going to do some calculations on open loop MAF scaling (with my stock sensor). I have a 32-bit ECU where the O2 sensor works over a wider range but is skewed due to it being in the front exhaust pipe (exaughst back pressure). I wanted to do this just to learn a bit and see how off the values would be

I was using this guide as a reference
HOWTO: One Man's Way of Scaling a MAF - NASIOC

....
but then I realized I don't even understand how the AFR Correction 1 is calculated in closed loop
I figured it would be

A/F Sensor #1 / (1 - A/F Correction #1 * 100) = Closed Loop Fueling Target

But that doesn't seem to work.... do you know how its calculated

Sorry for all the questions lol

I have my wide band installed now. Would good practice be to decrease the AFR across the board before trying to tune open loop.

Just to be safe and have lots of fuel (preventing lean conditions)

eg reducing every cell in the primary open loop fueling table by -0.5
