EFI discussion

Must be like the crystals that you use on RC car radios to change frequencies
I could see overclocking being a sort of novelty computer geek project coupled with a piggyback or some signal controllers so that you could manipulate a stock ECU but theres definitely no NEED to do so when Megasquirt exists.
fun fact for computer geeks: The Siemens MSS54 ecu in the E46 M3 is a 32 bit dual core processor.

There isn't any reason to overclock an EFI system IMO, if it's not fast enough to do what it needs to do it needs to be upgraded. An automotive environment is very harsh and I would want a processor loafing along as cool as possible given the choices.
This is a good point. I'd rather be sitting in my office and have my PC fail from an overclocked processor than be in my car out in the boondocks with a toasted ECU

And here is where I am at today with some fuel adjustments vs. my baseline run (Tune A).
The AFRs are getting better and better. I recorded a few datalogs to sit down and disect tonight so that I can make preparations for the next tuning session. I know there is some more power to be found though.

it blows my mind how many hidden hp's can be found just by tuning.
nice work Brian

EFI amazes me. Tunes do Subaru's HUGE wonders. BMW's can pick up a pretty noticable gain. But the vehicle I've noticed that picks up the most notable gain in HP/tq and smoother power climb, is subaru's and porsches. Dunno why, but they can really pick up a nice amount with a good tune. Even all factory
