It would be, if that was the only thing changed. But, since anyone who is modifying those tables would be changing a lot more, it's not really something that is done , if you know what I mean. The...

How the ECU reads tables, effects how it reacts to inputs

The resident man of knowledge about these ECU's had this to tell me about the DBW tables;
"Well, the basics are 3 sets of tables - requested torque base, which is effectively a denominator that is...

This is what works for me

I wonder why your RPM delta is at 3600? Mine is at -10000. It affects when Overrun Enrichment activates. These are the lowest MAF settings I've been able to use, and still get it start reliably, even...

Two words for you to ponder. Heat Soak.

Cold air makes a lot more power, and in Florida you probably don't get a lot of cold air. How about mounting both SC's in front of the radiator. You could have one pushing and one pulling air from an...

You'd have to ask Shiv that one. The Procede is made to do a lot more than throttle control, but only Shiv would know how.

As a Procede owner, I don't see why he couldn't run one with a Procede, and the other with a throttle switch. Mount one before the MAF and one after it, then stage them to provide continuous boost...

I'm making progress now

I've tested lower and lower Calculated Torque tables and found what makes the TCU shift really really badly. If the figures are too high, the TCU short shifts and bogs down. If the figures are too...

That's going to throw off the MAF compensation for sure. The electric fan isn't anything special. No telling what the fan vortices are doing to the MAF sensor just 12 inches away. I'd recommend...

Modding your Calculated Torque tables for better shifting, for A/T's only.

Because the TCU for these cars hasn't been cracked yet, I've started learning how to affect it with the ECU's programming, in particular, the Calculated Torque tables A and B, in the Drive By Wire...

Yes, there is something you can do.

If you have a way to edit your ECU, as in Ecutek, BRZedit, Tactrix, or OFT, you can open the Drive By Wire section, and edit the Calculated Torque tables to affect the TCU. I've just started trying...

Calculated torque tables are it!

I made some test tunes and found out the Calculated Torque tables are it. It works just the opposite of what I'd expect however. CT tables remade to mirror the power I'm getting now cause the AT to...

Post pics before going any further! If that is a Phantom Electric Supercharger, (electric fan) it is worth upwards of $1500 used. If not, you'll be better off with a stock intake and an after-market...

So you can tell all that just by looking at it

That OEM throttle map wasn't precise for me. It was full of compensations for problems that no longer exist. My AVCS tables are smooth, so there is no need to compensate for any kind of torque dip or...

Changing the Drive-By-Wire throttle map

The reason is, the cars...

Remapping the throttle is NOT a tune

For those who didn't know, a remapped throttle is only one map out of the hundreds that make up a tune. It is not a tune in and of itself. It does not change the maximum horsepower or torque of the...

If you don't have the guts to do it, scoff at those who do

The 2017 MT already comes with a 4.30 FD, instead of a 4.10. That had to cost them a bit. The DBW throttle mapping can be done for FREE. Neither throttle mapping, nor changing the FD would affect the...
