Hybrid Racing cai tune
Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
Just took it out to dinner, drover perfectly fine. Think I was psyching myself out lmao.
Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
Glad it felt the same, haha. Yeah I haven't touched any fuel stuff for a couple revisions now, it's all been focused on the knock.
It's pretty hard for water to get into the area of the filter from normal driving. Air flows pretty freely through, but I don't believe a lot of water gets through the fender liner and splash tray. Granted you haven't modified those of course. So for the bypass, it only works when the air filter itself is submerged in water entirely. The bypass does nothing until the filter itself is submerged in water, as in under water. Once the filter is submerged in water completely, the bypass acts as a path of least resistance and draws air through the bypass. There was an old video somewhere of AEM's bypass, but all I could find is there page on how their bypass works https://www.aemintakes.com/air_bypass_valve.htm. Also, a little bit of water being sucked in through the filter oddly enough acts as a cleaner for the tops of the pistons. I can't speak to it personally, but there is a general consensus if you research it that a little bit of water being sucked into the engine is okay and cleans the piston tops. What I would do some day when you have time, drive it in the rain, then maybe pull back the fender liner and see how much water gets into the filter area and that might ease your concerns hopefully. But yeah, the bypass doesn't do anything unless the filter is absolutely submerged in water. I have a lot of guys that convert theirs to SRI for all the concerns you have, haha.
So the datalog looked good, but the knock is being stubborn so I am going to switch things up a little. Give this one a drive when you can. I'll need a clean third gear pull again, and then one or two fourth gear short pulls. Again no rush, whenever you take it out is fine.

Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
Believe this should be good. That third gear pull towards the beginning was definitely a heart stopper for sure... had a convoy of troopers doing about 90 while I was merging at redline lmao. They had more important things to do I guess. I did a third fourth gear pull at the very end to make up for the one I had to let off in, damn traffic haha.
Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
Don't know why it didn't include the datalog. here it is

Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
Oh man, I'm sorry. Haha. Yeah it doesn't knock on the third gear pulls, but on the fourth gear pulls it's a little stubborn in one area so I'm trying to remedy it as best I can. So I made a little different cam angle map and I think it helped. Cautiously optimistic at this point, but it was better on this one.
Take this one for a drive when you can. On the fourth gear pull, you can go from 5000-6200 if that makes it easier. Right around 6000 is the area of focus. Other than that, everything else looks killer. Sorry it's being stubborn man, I know it's annoying to go out and make weird pulls. Haha. I just don't want to leave you with any knock.

Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
I believe this was the right log just let me know if it isn't, did a little shorter of a run but had a couple of the 4th gear pulls and another longer pull so I could record it and show it off to my friends lol. I honestly don't mind doing them, especially when theres no traffic. Just gotta worry about waking a karen up and calling me in haha.

Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
No problem, as long as you're safe that's all that matters. Karens will be Karens no matter what you do, haha.
Yeah so that one looked good. No knock on the fourth gear pulls. We had one on a third gear pull when you let off, I think it was more of a false knock or a fluke. But at least it wasn't the area we've been focusing on. So I think we're on track, take that same calibration for another spin when you can, with a couple 5000-6200 fourth gears pulls to verify. If it stays knock free we might be there.

Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
I got this one earlier while out, traffic was rather slow so I was able to drop it to 4th a couple times for you lol.

Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
Yeah you're getting good at those fourth gear pulls, haha. I'm sorry. I am almost wondering at this point if maybe it's false knock because it doesn't happen on every fourth gear pull. You don't hear anything or feel any weird vibrations at all on the fourth gear pulls do you? We'll see how this next one goes, take it for a spin when you can, no rush.

Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
Will do that when I get ready to go out in a minute. I think the more I do the pulls the better they feel honestly, there never seemed to be any weird feelings doing them before they just feel better for some reason throughout each revision. I wanted to make note that my gf was behind me earlier and she said she “smelt something” when she was behind me and I floored it. Can’t take what she says seriously 100% of the time but figured I’d make note lmao.
Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
Believe this is right, computer was having one of those days.. *sigh*. Did a good amount of pulls, did one every chance I got at least. Let me know if this isn't the correct tune.

Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
Okay, I was just curious because I hate false knock because it's so hard to determine and be comfortable telling guys it's false you know. You guys trust me with your cars, and I don't take that lightly. As for your gf and what she smelled, she probably had the window down or the maybe had the dash vent on fresh air and smelled the exhaust. You would smell something from the exhaust just because of the flow. Once you put a race header in, that smell becomes more prominent and you will get a whiff of it when you come to a stop. I don't think it's anything to worry about though, accept you saying you can't take her seriously all the time. Haha. You better hope she never finds this forum. :)
That datalog looked great. No knock on the fourth gear pulls again which is great. We had one on third gear when you let off, again more a fluke I think. Go ahead and make another datalog when you're going somewhere and we will see how it looks.

Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
All good man. I think I can speak on behalf of all of us that need help with these kinds of things that we appreciate how willing you are to take time out of your schedule to help us, it means a lot (Especially when most of us have no idea where to even start). Thats what I was thinking, she said she had her ac on so I figured it was bringing the fumes through her vents since she was right behind me at lights and etc. Haha no worries here lmao, I showed her what I said.. she knows I like giving her a hard time. I did a couple random pulls on this one and got on one of the more fun backroads in my area since the highway was a little to busy to drop it to fourth as much as I wanted to. There's a little bit of everything in this one so hopefully it shows what all you need to see.

Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
Thank you! Yeah I'm happy to help you guys, I enjoy it. That's what this stuff should be about. We just have to be thankful Hondata builds this stuff so we can do this and enjoy these cars.
Haha, you showed her your post and lived to tell us! Wow, you found a keeper... Anyways, that one looked great. No knock on the fourth gear pulls, great, we had a couple on your third gear pulls when you let off. I'm pretty sure it's the vibration of the engine when it does that, but I made a small adjustment. Fingers crossed, but we'll see how the next one looks. I think we're moving forward though finally, everything else looks killer.

Re: Hybrid Racing cai tune
No problem! And I lived.. got some battle scars after though lmao. She definitely is. So I did a couple longer third gear pulls for you to look into those a little more, the fourth gear pulls did feel a little smoother there so maybe there was a little vibrating the last couple times now that you've mentioned it. Intake is loving the cooler temps today though haha.
