    Tune wideband with STFTs

    I have my plx wideband setup so it runs through the egr. Since I didnt get the pro version of hptuners (kicking myself for that), this is the only way to do it.

    Since I went through the egr instead of the hpt input, you have to use an equation that looks something like ([PID.2811]/0.5)+10, pid.2811 being the egr. I know the plx does not need calibration in itself, but sometimes matching what the guage says and what hpt sees takes some adjustment to the "+10" value above. Adjust it in real time proves to be quite difficult.

    My question is can I run in OL at stoich with STFTs active at a steady cruise so the STFTs dial themselves in, then use the STFT to adjust my WB equation?

    So say my STFTs read +4, could I do 10*1.04 = 10.4 for my above equation and it be spot on?

    I ask this because I know the stock narrowbands are very accurate at stoich, and what my WB tells me is lean and what my trims are telling me is lean are not quite together. For instance, during cruise I've seen my WB Error tell me -4% and the trims are +3.

    Ah, well, no beating around the bush at least.

    best thing to do is average the value in the scanner if you are getting a consistent AFR, and change it with that. What I like about the LM1 is I command an output voltage and tweak it like that (in warm/car off up so it is steady).

    I read in the plx forums that free air it should say 19.9 and with the sensor unplugged it should read 14.6. So I think I may give that a try.

    HPT should read 20.9% in free air or yours shows 20.9% or what? The DM-5 guage (the one I have) only goes up to 19.9

    hmm, why dont I just command the EGR to 2.35v using the scanner which is 14.7 and adjust it that way...

    That's the % O2 in atmosphere but not AFR...

    yeah, exactly, so HPT will not read that

    I guess he was meaning the output AFR is 19.9:1 in free air, wasn't thinking about that.
