Feature request EGO Correction add fuel only

Post by Suprazz »

Hi,
I was a PRI in the last few days at the DIYAutotune/AMPEFI boot and a customer requested this and I liked the idea.

We want to be able to specify ego correction to only add fuel and not remove it. Actually, the authority number is a +/- % so if you authorize 10%, it can add up to 10% more fuel but can also remove 10% fuel too.

It would be great to be able to specify a different maximum correction authority on both add and removing fuel. Holley does that. So you can tell your ego correction to only have the right to add fuel at idle and not remove fuel.

Maybe a simple solution, for now, would be to add another menu to the ego options to specify how the authority percentage (or table) work with 3 options. It can add both and remove fuel, only add fuel, only remove fuel.

Let me know what you think.

I think it's a good idea, but I think that the simplest way would have two input values : "Min correction %" and "Max correction %". This way you have your desired feature with only two input values.

yes, best way to do it is with 2 tables. min table and max table so you can specify if you allow to remove and add fuel.

This would indeed be a nice improvement and definitely just separate correction add and correction reduce with 2 tables instead of the single table we now have.

Nice Commander950 screen shot, I only stopped using that ECU 2 years ago, although I had written my own tuning software to work with it in C++ and then again later in Java. I used to rely on the EGO correction a lot more then - with the MS3, I'm much happier using auto tune and all the modifiers to make the maps right and then using AFR shutdown when things go wrong instead of counting on EGO correction because the ECU didn't have the ability to model all the variables.
