Default Closed loop lambda setting

When you guys set up a tune to make an auto tune run what lambda setting are you using?

If you call DJ ask for Roy. he is a sharp guy with the PV and TT. But you are on the road to a good tune- be sure to "export learned" and save it into a tune slot, then load that new tune file to the ECM and you'll be running with the new changes. from there you can run AT again and further tune it as needed. more than likely it is only going to take 2 or three tuning sessions at most. I had mine done in 2 tune sessions.
I highly doubt it added 19% more fuel.

^ And why not? a 19% max VE change is not that much on a specific cell. If you have a current VE cell that is say 81, and auto tune increased it 19%, then it added a bit over 14 to the VE value. new value = 95.58

your lambda values are the AFR ratio table. just use the one given to you in your TT-enabled tune file. As you learn more about tuning you can make changes to the AFR ratio table as needed to lean or richen things up.

But first order of business is to run TT-AT a few times and get the VE's dialed in correctly. using the current AFR ratio table for that is fine.

It made a volumetric efficiency change to one or more cells of 19%. Afr's are not 1:1. 19% raw fuel is allot to dump. Maybe I'm simply not following your logic. Personally, I wouldn't have scaled. But I can't see how many cells maxed out or which cells in the map maxed out. Being the first tuning run I would have capped it and see what happened over the next couple of runs. Either way, if his CI only went up 8 and that gave him enough headroom to not max out then it still works.

To be more specific, I'm looking for information as to where the mid point of the sensors are. I understand 450mv for AFR cal but new to lambda cals. If the bias is built into the lambda setting where would the sensors be most efficient.

By that I mean that at least one VE was set 19% richer in fuel. How much actual added fuel that represents depends on a lot of factors - rpm, air temp, engine temp, map load, etc. - you are correct, fuel is not 1:1 on a VE change.

19% richer in fuel or a 19% increase in modeled airflow through the engine?

There are quite a few books online that discuss Delphi EFI systems and components in very good detail. To put it very simply, the Main VE table is fueling at different engine loads vs. rpms. The VE table kpa is the measurement of air pressure to help determine the load on the engine or Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP)

Increasing the VE table values will make the engine richer, and vice-versa. A lower VE value will lean the engine.

Although some HD bikes, like mine, have VE table load expressed in Throttle Position - which I find very confusing and not overly conducive to good tuning.

What? Are you sure the Main VE table isn't a number that reflects airflow through the engine?
