Learned Octane Ratio (LOR) Gauge in Torque

[Larrylu]

LOR gauge functioning as advertised.

As far as -Kr, with the current brew I can be cruising on level ground at 40 and I see negative.....

Must remember that -KR is good!  Timing being added in!

Just a reminder for those typing in PID'S....some devices will auto space after you put in "signed"...this space will cause a flat 0 reading

Good call, mine did that but I noticed....

Im going to have to do some testing with this. I currently am jumping between -.82 and -.93. will have to see what different stations gas will do. Anyone ever use sunoco 94 octane? Overpriced but maybe it will get me to -1 without blending.

I'm stuck at -0.90 as well but I had some 87 left from my testing. I just filled up with 93 and a gallon of e85 to see what happens.

Is it more than vpower 93?

Yes. I never buy Sunoco or Shell because they seem to be so overpriced. Usually around here 93 at any other station is 20 to 40 cents more than regular. At Shell or Sunoco 93 is at least 80 cents more and 94 is just insane for all of one more octane.

Yup...after many entries into the formula area it got me again. As it sat at zero I couldn't wait to reach destination and delete the space.

That would be frustrating!

I put some e85 back in with more 93 and after just ten minutes my LOR was pegged at -1. Gauge is definitely working well and seems to be sensitive enough to trust.

It's just the latest in a series of excellent custom gauges, ecoboostsho :thumb:

Actually I have YOU to thank.  The article you posted/found from Cobb tuning was really the key to get me thinking about how this was supposed to work.  So...hats off to you!

Just added this PID and I'm at +.3 in my F-150 on 87.  Will dump in 36 gallons of 93 next week and see what happens!!

Thanks guys! This is cool.  I've got this setup on my '13 and it just shows -1.00 which I'm assuming is good.  I got the Tire PSI working as well in Torque. 

I'm going to try the LOR on my wife's '14 XSport as I know she sometimes puts 87 in the tank.

 

[WickedSHO]

I want to add this gauge, but can't find it in Torque.

Do I need to add it as a special PID?

 

[ecoboostsho]

Yes it is a custom PID. Go to page 1 in this thread or you can go to the stickied thread in the data logging forum and it is in there as well along with details on how to add custom PIDs.

Just skimmed 1st page...is the PID there?

Rich

 

[ecoboostsho]

Whoops. That would have been a helpful add. I will grab it from the other thread.

Posted it in the first thread but for reference here its 2203E8
