Today we finished the first Maps Library expansion which will be posted tomorrow. As outlined in the thread’s opening post, the “map families” offer tuning “tweaks” that slightly change the standard tuning solution that may be a better fit to individual cars with minor variations… with a download cable, you’ll be able to try each to find the ones that work best for your car. This is the first step building the families.

Each bolt-on configuration will have 27 different gasoline map variations available. To find your map, the first thing you’ll choose is fuel octane, then fuel tuning, and finally timing tuning. Each selection will open a folder that contains all the follow on options.

Octane. The first folders you’ll find will be the Low, Midgrade, and Premium octane folders. All of the options for a particular fuel octane will be in that folder.

Fueling Options. Inside each Octane folder, you’ll find the second break out which is fuel tuning. You’ll see “Standard Fuel,” “Fuel In,” and “Fuel Out” folders. To really dial in your car, the best bet is using a tail pipe wide band O2 sensor.

Fuel Standard – all maps in this folder have the fueling changes required by a typical vehicle and the chances are really good this is where your map will be. Inside this folder, you’ll find all of the timing options for the standard fuel tuning solutions.

Fuel In – all maps in this folder have a fueling change that is approximately 0.5 AFR richer than the standard fueling solution maps. These maps are intended for vehicles running slightly leaner than the target AFR with the standard fueling solution maps. Inside this folder, you’ll find all of the timing options for the fuel in tuning solutions.

Fuel Out – all maps in this folder have a fueling change that is approximately 0.5 AFR leaner than the standard fueling solution maps. These maps are intended for vehicles running slightly richer than the target AFR with the standard fueling solution maps. Inside this folder, you’ll find all of the timing options for the fuel out tuning solutions.

Timing Options. Inside each fuel folder, you’ll find the last map break out which is ignition tuning. You’ll see “Timing Standard,” “Timing In,” and “Timing Out” folders.

Timing Standard – all maps in this folder have the timing changes required by a typical vehicle and the chances are really good this is where your map will be. Inside this folder, you’ll find the maps for the bolt-on configurations for the previously selected octane and fuel tuning solutions that have the standard timing values. Click on the appropriate bolt-on configuration to load the map into the MapsQ software.

Timing In – all maps in this folder run slightly more ignition timing than the standard fueling solution maps. These maps are for vehicles that can tolerate the additional timing without triggering a flashing misfire CEL, or for higher than standard octane fuels. Inside this folder, you’ll find the maps for the bolt-on configurations for the previously selected octane and fuel tuning solutions that have slightly more timing that the standard map values. Click on the appropriate bolt-on configuration to load the map into the MapsQ software.

Timing Out – all maps in this folder run slightly less ignition timing than the standard fueling solution maps. These maps are for vehicles that get a flashing misfire CEL with the timing standard maps, or for lower than standard octane fuels. Inside this folder, you’ll find the maps for the bolt-on configurations for the previously selected octane and fuel tuning solutions that have slightly less timing that the standard map values. Click on the appropriate bolt-on configuration to load the map into the MapsQ software.

Tomorrow the complete Standard Fuel map folder will be posted with 135 mapping options giving you all of the fuel grade and timing variations for all of the current bolt-on configurations. The next update should be finished and posted in about a week.

More after the IT guys get the maps posted.
