I am New as hell to crome and i have some Q and before you ask i have read all i can find on crome . what the difference Low cam ignition and High cam ignition and the same for low cam and high cam fuel is that for vtec? maybe. I see some roms have and some dont this High/Low settings this would help me alot if some one can help.The bin that i am working with is 92-93 Pr4.
disable vtec and use the low cam maps
I did that i just want to make sure i am doing it right:dunno:Quote:

I'm running a chipped p75 and the ostrich. I had my car roughly tuned in about 3 days of regular daily driving to and from work, which is about a 10min drive. I've been having problems with the wideband input into the ecu when data logging with crome and the voltage will just rise to 3.8v but I just tuned by watch the gauge and slowly adding more fuel in the cell i was running in.
Here's a couple of things that I found helpful when I was getting started.

But what the difference Low cam ignition and High cam ignition and the same for low cam and high cam fuel ?Quote:

Just disable them and you can set the rpm where in engages higher than your red line if you want a "fail safe" if for some reason the little check box gets accidentally checked.
That what i needed to know why i ask when i looked at some other bins the high" cam ignition and fuel where zeroed out but the PR4 bin was not it had them and it a none vtec ecu so i got confuse i wanted to rip out my hair out:rant: i read all i could find on crome and i could not find any thing about the high" cam ignition and fuel tables and what they were.Quote:

EricW, what A/F ratios are you running?
I am useing crome 1.2 i tryed 1.2.5 but it dont come with the plugs and when i tryed to add them it would give me a error so i went back to 1.2 .thegreatdane whats your email and i will send you copy of the Bin that i made and you can tell me what you think if i on the right track or not.Quote:

I believe you have to have windows. But you may want to go poke around the PGMFI forum and see if you can find a definite answer.Quote:

Yea, a lot of people find a cheap decent laptop so they can use it to data log while they drive, and not have to worry much with it getting beat around.Quote:

yeah, you can probably pick up a laptop that will do the trick for ~$200 tops on ebay. and really, if you pay $200, that's probably more than enough laptop for tuning. you could also see if anyone has converted it to be able to run on a pda as those tend to be a bit cheaper.Quote:
