BM3 Custom Tuning help

[QTR FMS]

I’ll double check these
I also did get my car back, uploaded my updated tune without the psi limit and I hit the limp mode in 3rd. Limit it to 26psi again and I logged my car twice without the limp.

From the log, it seems you are hitting the end of injection limiter (RF Max 8) and the cylinder fill Limiter (131072).

You need to lower the values at the end of injection. You can make it 70 above 100 load.

And for the 131072 its basically a cylinder fill. It usually cause by overboosting or exceeding load, raise your load limiter and try to keep it 10% higher than your actual.

try the above changes then, make another log and it would be better to make longer full throttle log, in third from 2000rpm to 7000rpm if you dont have wheelspin issues. or otherwise 4000rpm to 7000rpm.

Edit: are you using OEM boost control or BM3 custom boost control feature.

Hopefully this is a better log

You still have 131072 code, which is closing the throttle down to 41%.

What are your Maximum Relative Filling Characteristic table values? and check if you are limited by other load limiter tables.

You might want to look at all load limiters, which I believe are 10 tables (some are already maxed out at 327%), and add 50 over stock values to get to 245% load. This should get you to 26psi more or less, and you can then fine tune it later based on your boost curve.

For load to torque, I only changed the last column from 200 to 300 and multiplied the values by 50%, this will make it easier to track limiters later.

You are also crashing your hpfp at 5000rpm and probably in the lower rpm, there are 4 rail pressure tables that look similar to the one below. Change the highlighted cells to 30MPA and then you can continue to fine tune the rail pressure as you continue to raise boost and adjust afr.

Your boost target is 25-23 psi, but the actual boost is 16 psi because your throttle is closing. This needs to be fixed before we try to raise the target further.

I noticed the limp mode usually happens 1-2nd gear after shifting during a pull. I even lowered boost by 150hpa and lowered p-gain and high end on the compressor map for flex fuel. I didn't have this issue before when I first worked on this tune. It seemed to be happening when I started messing with the torque tables.
I made those changes to all the torque tables you mentioned and read through the bootmod3 guides. Raised all the limiters to 1000nm and disabled all the torque flags/intervention. Is there one i shouldnt have disabled?
I also did a pull a couple days ago with the bm3 launch control in 3rd and the limp didnt happen, so it seems to be happening mainly 1-2nd gear. In 1st im running 30% torque reduction and 20% in 2nd as well.

its difficult to say without looking at a log with the issue clearly happening.

from the previous log it seems there are too many issues that needs to be solved before we can pin point the issue.

some of those issues could be causing limp mode in 1-2 gear but the only difference it might be worse in 1-2 due to lighter load.

you could be hitting hpfp or end of injection limiter for example.

unfortunately, with bootmod3 i cant look at your tune to recommend changes that might help. So i can only comment on the log.

i think i figured it out
my dumbass forgot to raise the exceeded acceleration table

thats great that you managed to find the issue and fix it but dont forget to optimize your tune.

Don't just increase the last column in the load to torque table. Great way to get transmission slip if you are making any power.

Whats your guidance on the scaling of the load to torque table when upgrading a turbo? Obviously hard to know exactly what torque the car makes at MBT even with a dyno, since we don't run at MBT.

Even on stock turbo, dyno results are ~100nm > than what the log shows when only the last column is increased.

The load to torque table Z values are inner indicated torque, in Nm.

Inner torque is the gross torque produced by combustion inside the cylinders: the torque the expanding gas exerts on the pistons, before any mechanical or pumping losses are subtracted. It's a pure thermodynamic/combustion quantity.

This is different than crankshaft torque. The difference between crankshaft torque and inner torque are the losses. Kind of like the loss differences between crankshaft torque and wheel torque. The DME subtracts from the inner indicated torque values, losses from friction, pumping, aux/accessory loads, and drag = crankshaft torque. So inner torque will always be higher than crankshaft torque.

It gets even more complicated as there is also a step within inner torque: the optimal inner torque (at best/reference spark, MBT) versus the actual inner torque after spark and lambda efficiency.

The torque to load table (KF_MDIOP_1_TQE) values matter a lot in the system because it's basically the modeling for all air flow. They are the best-spark inner torque the given air charge would produce. The DME then multiplies this by ignition and lambda efficiency to get actual inner torque, and subtracts friction/pumping/accessory losses to arrive at the crank torque. It's the air-charge-torque model:

• Forward, it turns your measured fill + rpm into the reference inner torque used everywhere downstream (reporting, limiter comparisons, reserve calculation).
• Inverted, it turns a required inner torque back into the fill target the boost/throttle controllers chase. Every torque request becomes a fill target through this map. Boost controllers less so when using MHD+.

All that is why it's important to scale with added power. The TCU uses reported values to help determine clamp pressure, along with a ton of other models.

I'm not actually sure which torque channel MHD has for it's torque logging. I'm going to assume it's either requested torque or crankshaft torque. There are a few different torque channels that the DME reports out:

• Inner (indicated) torque — combustion torque before losses.
• Crankshaft (effective) torque — the real output torque after friction/pumping/accessory losses.
• Wheel torque — crank torque multiplied through the gearbox and final drive, minus driveline losses.
