Thread: Tuning for optimal mpg with DHP

This either results in worse fuel economy from entering PE too early, or knock from entering PE too late. Using cylinder air mass is a better solution since it relates to engine load. I used PE Enable TPS of 15-30% coupled with the cylinder air mass enable (both conditions must be met for PE to be triggered, so you want to set the TP% low). Result was a vastly improved daily driving experience. Give it a try some time. Table I used for cylinder mass enable follows.

This should be a good start, basically what you're doing is using engine load to determine when to enter PE. You can raise the cylinder mass numbers to enter PE at a higher load, or lower to enter at lower load. If you want to tune the numbers further, you want to enter PE as late as possible while still maintaining no knock in order to maximize fuel economy.

Where do you start from for adding this data? Zero(0) is the first value on the left in Tiny Tuner, then it is 400. The reason why I ask is you have 16 values and Tiny Tuner has 17 values starting from 0 to 6400. Just thought this would help clarify things for all of us.
