Is it recommended to change tune for winter?
Total noob question here, but with temperatures/air density/fuel mixtures changing for cold-climate locations, is it recommended to get a tune tweaked for winter conditions versus using what was optimal over the summer? Not sure if the ECU compensates for these variables on its own, or if the tune has to.

From what I understand, there are considerations in place for air density changes in most tunes.

You shouldn't need to change tune for different weather. If you want a proper tune check our our OpenFlash Tablet: http://www.procedetuning.com/BRZ_FR-...ash/index.html
Even if you are in cold climate our tune has accounted for hot/cold temperatures/air density/fuel mixtures/timing changes. If you want a better understanding of how it works feel free to give us a call. Cheers Robert@Vishnu Quote:

IMO thats just what is is though... compensation. Depending on your mods, those compensation tables may not do their job as well and could need tweaking. Wouldnt hurt to do a datalog and see where your fuel trims are

We also include the same compensations for forced induction setups. On turbocharger applications, we use air temp, density, and altitude to adjust boost as well. You shouldn't need a separate winter tune as long as your tune has the proper compensations in place. The stock tune on the ECU includes environment variable compensations too. - Bob Last edited by Circuit Motorsports; 11-25-2013 at 02:03 PM. |
