[5.0L Throttle Limit]

Late to reply but...

I't not percentage. It's degrees. As in 0 is fully closed 90 is 90 degrees from closed, or fully opened, but in the tunes 80 is fully opened which is why Roland says it seems to be an arbitrary number. 100 is technically past fully open and 10 degrees shut the other way

Hey Jacko. Never too late for me. Got distracted by life, work, caring for sick family and organising a funeral-just in time for Christmas!

As a result, I’ve not made much progress, but I really appreciate your advice. I hadn’t considered it was the throttle blade angle, even though it’s clearly indicated in the software.
 

With everything else going on, I relented and purchased a tune for the GS315 from TI Automotive. The car responded beautifully to the tune, other than the coolant temp gauge just stopped working. Flashed the stock tune in and temp sensor works, flash the new tune in and bingo-no coolant temps.

I’m getting over the personal hard times and I’ll definitely get back into the tune in my GS. Jason from TI Automotive has been so patient with continuing to support the tune he supplied me, even through my slow responses to logging/troubleshooting questions.

I’m sure most on here know Jason and his business to some extent, but I cannot speak highly enough of his customer service, commitment and communication. I’m sure there’s other stuff that he does well, that doesn’t start with the letter “C”. 👍👌

[5.0L Throttle Limit]

Hi Guys. Has anyone has taken the time to remove their intake to observe the throttle opening angle when using the 80% opening map for auF0083 and auF0084, as per the GT, GT-F and FGX XR8/XR8 Sprint:

For comparison, this is the map for the stock GS315:

Seriously Ford - 50%!!!!!! In a perfect world, Ford would've let the GS open the throttle fully and finished the development of the Miami/intercooled option for the GT.

Another way to look at it - I've never gained 20+ kW so easily!

I'm really interested to hear opinions about running the throttle map below (95% throttle opening), with a calibration that is a hybrid of my stock GS and parts of the FGX XR8 Sprint:

Thanks for reading this far and all opinions are warmly welcomed.

It is only in Workshop level at this stage as we spent a fair bit of time researching to find and test it.

Hey Roland. Thanks for the speedy response. I’ve had a bit of a crack myself-I’m OK with altering my GS tune to the equivalent of a GT335 and I’ve got a waaaaay better traction control than the factory ever gave me. However, I’m certain there’s a lot more power/torque on offer with E85 and a set of tunes from an experienced workshop than I’m willing to push with my limited resources.

I think I’m best to have a chat to one of the workshops who have runs on the board with your software.

Cheers,

Ben

Updated the main post to add these numbers which work quite well for a coyote 5.0 to give it a "ghost" cam without actually changing the cam timing. Cam timing can be modified for more affect but this gives it a mild lope. auF11706

Hi Roland. I’m having trouble finding the auF11706 table on my FPV GS FG MK1 with HAFFAE3.hex PCM strategy. The file template level is professional.

I'm not sure what causes Ford to change the factory settings there. Maybe different exhaust and turbo mean different temperature limits.

Regarding auF2233 Are you running the pro version of the software? Which strategy or catch code is your vehicle?

Hi Roland. I’m running pro version and the car is Mk1 GS Miami catch code HAFFAE3.

[HOWTO: Traction Control]

Putting on Dunce hat again in advance.....I can't find auF2233 in my ROM. I seriously looked until asking potentially dumb question was my only option.

[HOWTO: Traction Control]

Yeah thanks Roland. I actually did read your post and my question was based around the fact that my factory setting was 11, not 15. Once again, pardon the noob question. I’ll put on my dunce hat and sit in the corner now :).

[HOWTO: Traction Control]

Pardon the noob, but my FG Mk1 has the “spark min clip” identified as auF16586. Factory setting is -11. Any big issues with setting this to -20? Everything is factory FG Mk1 GS.

Awesome. Thanks Sam-I’ll have a look. Roland has hooked me up with a GT-F 351 calibration as well. Throttle stuff is as expected (80% rather than 50) but turbocharger desired limits are very different (mostly higher). I need to understand boost control strategies and transmission protection a bit better but I think there’s gains to be had here.

Great info in here.

[GT tune into GS]

Thanks Roland. I’ll check them out and let you know.

[GT tune into GS]

Haven’t got one for a GT yet, I was comparing my FG Mk1 GS with theFG-X XR8 Sprint. If anyone finds a code for a 335 or a 351 GTF I’m all ears! Likewise I’ll share if I find something.

[GT tune into GS]

I've been comparing the stock GS and an XR8 Sprint calibration, which was very interesting. There I was thinking I'm a frickin' genius after "uncovering" some major differences in "throttle angle (pedal position)" and "desired throttle angle". I then had a look in the forums to ensure I was using the right method to copy across changed data only to find that all the throttle position info I had "discovered" was sitting there for all to see, neatly framed in it's own thread.

This place is great-I was a bit apprehensive about the purchase price of the software but just making the GS perform like a GT will be enough to justify it. The insight into the strategies are a bonus!

Roland-Thanks heaps for your quick replies to my stupid questions!

Hi Roland. Great info. I noticed the same thing with throttle angle by comparing my GS file to the FG-X XR8 Sprint file. I just tried to download the HAFJ1K2 calibration and it doesn't seem to be there. Do you know of another FPV 351 calibration that I could download to compare to my GS cal and the XR8 Sprint calibration (HAFK0XB)? The XR8 and FPV351 are probably very similar but I'd love to compare them just to give myself a bit more confidence before uploading the modified calibration.

Thanks,

Ben

[GT tune into GS]

I see. I'll try to find a strategy that I know is from a 335 of the same model then.

[GT tune into GS]

Hi Roland. Cheers for the quick reply!

Good point-I've got no idea if the HAFFBE2 is the 335. I really don't know how many different Mk1 FG supercharged auto tunes are out there. I guess I just assumed that if it's different to the code for my GS then there's not too many other options out there. Please set me straight if I'm wrong as I'm here to learn.

Here's the difference:

Thanks,

Ben

[GT tune into GS]

Hey Guys,

I've recently bought an FG Mk1 GS with the 315kW Miami supercharged engine. I'm hoping to do a few tweaks here and there and I've got a bit of experience tuning my own cars (got great results using RomRaider in my Subaru which has seen bulk track time). I've purchased the professional license and I'm hoping to firstly upgrade the 315kW tune to at least match the FG MK1 GT335 state of tune.

I've downloaded the Mk1 supercharged auto file (HAFFBE2) and I've extracted and licensed the file from my GS (HAFFAE3). If I've done things correctly, there is bugger-all difference between the two files, using the "load compare file" function. The image below shows the difference between the two files.

Are there any particular maps that should be different or is it really the case that the GS is basically the same as the GT, other than the advertised power and the number on the bonnet? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben
