drive by wire and effective area? im trying to figure out what to do for this z06. the dynamic and idle desired airflows are off by about 6 g/sec. i know the iac steps wont work, you cant do it like the cable tb's. how do you guys fix this? i know there is a scalar but im not sure as what really needs to be done. anything i can do to get these airflow values closer would be great. thanks

2001 Z06- Open Loop SD tune, , heads, cam, NW 90 mm TB and FAST intake, headers.
Here is what I did for the 90 mm TB. If your Z06 project isn't a 90 mm then I suspect you'll need a lesser ETC scalar value than mine ( But greater than stock). Either way the Below should work for 78 or 90mm with a differing ETC Scalar value.
My conversion factor ("ETC Area Scalar" in HP Tuners = 0.0255 stock) is set at 0.0320. I tried many values between 0.0191 and .0330. My car runs best at 0.0320. Others have confirmed this-> http://www.efilive.com/forum/viewtop...=1169&start=45
Using EFILive and scanning the "DESIAC_B" (g/sec), "IAC-Warmed Up Airflow in Gear" (g/sec) and "IAC- Final Airflow Sum" (g/sec) PIDS. At 0.320 these PIDS tracked together....not exact of course - but very close. DESIAC_B should track at a slightly greater value than both "IAC-Warmed Up Airflow in Gear" (g/sec) and "IAC- Final Airflow Sum" (g/sec). Actually, if DESIAC_B is less than "IAC-Warmed Up Airflow in Gear" (g/sec) my car won't run.
I'm not positive but I believe the following equivalencies are correct....if not someone please correct me:
1.) The "DESIAC_B" (g/sec) value eqates to "Idle Park Postion Airflow" (g/sec) in HP Tuners.
2.) The "IAC-Warmed Up Airflow in Gear" (g/sec) value eqates to "Idle Base Gear Airflow" in HP Tuners.
3.)The "IAC- Final Airflow Sum" (g/sec) value eqates to "Idle Base Sum Airflow" in HP Tuners.
Hope this helps some.

But if it's a C5 78 mm TB (i.e. stock or ported) here is the best explanation - gojo's -> http://www.efilive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1169 . Excellent write up!
