Make sure for now you’re running closed loop. Turn off O2 correction.

Then build your VE table by feel and O2 readings. Then later turn it back on.

If you need help there’s an Alumni that comes by the auto shop a lot who has MS’d his 13B Turbo first gen RX7 and I MS’d my AE86 20v. So if you’re free bring it down.

Alright, i just gotta say that i absolutely love working on my e30. I blew the clutch, 2 of the 3 the pressure plate straps disintegrated, i dont know why really, but i was able to get another one in this morning in 4 hours from time of rolling it on the lift to driving it off to go to lunch to post up whats goin on. I will have some pics up tomorrow for you guys, do keep in mind that the car still does look like crap, but im ok with that for now.

Right now i have the car running on a 100% MAP based accel enrichment and its ok, smoother and AFR’s look better but i’ll have to try running Megatune w/o O2 support and seeing how that treats me.

I mean you’ve probably already read it if you’ve gotten this far, but turn the EGO off (step size=0) so any change you make to the table gets a direct result. If you leave it on, you’re O2 correct maybe canceling out any changes you make to the table.
