[QUOTE=Dominic Sorresso;1596425767]Did you got to ALDLdroid and select the correct .adx for your vehicle?
Also, sometimes w BT, you will need to disconnect and reconnect ALDLdroid to the ECM. The connection can be a little buggy at first but it works well after that.[/QUOTE

Not sure. They were not real clear as to how to do that. When I first paired with it a file name popped up. I believe it was the adx file. I selected it and then it asked me for the PIN number.

How do I do that? After pairing it did not seem to offer that option. It just immediately tried to connect.

How do I know which file? I see there are date ranges and there are several that include 1995.

I will contact them to see if they can direct me to correct file.

I have contacted the andriod app folks. I think the $FO file is available but not sure how to get it uploaded into the app if I find it.

New cats
New NGK plugs heat range 7
New O2 sensors
Oil change
Increased the windshield washer bubba injection from 30 gauge syringe to a 25 gauge.
1 quart of denatured alcohol in a near full tank
Slightly over tire pressure
No EGR
Old numbers (water inject only w/30 gauge needle):
Nox 25/25 998
50/15 1096
New numbers:
Nox 25/25 422
50/15 533
My initial numbers before any of the above changes, the old numbers above were just using water injection so you see there was an improvement just using that:
Nox 25/25 1255
50/15 1448

it appears to be working now! It is amazing how much data there is. How do I derive my air fuel ratio? Is see the counts and the intergrator value but not sure how to turn this into something I can understand?

I email and then use Excel to open the .csv file that ALDLdroid creates. ALDL creates a zip file to email.
If you go to my thread on Tuning the LT5, I have an example of the spreadsheet that u will see.

I guess I was expecting wide band type O2 ratio data. I see now where it is narrow band based on the block learn multiplier and integrator values. I am not sure how you dial in tune with this info but it would seem to me having wide band info at various RPMs would be a best case scenario. Perhaps I will add an O2 sensor bung onto my system for my LM-1 wide band. I do have a couple of dyno runs with wide band data logged.

Stoich.
Altho I have both Intake and Exhaust cams plus porting, I tune using
C/L. I do that because of the parameters that C/L makes available.

You would use WB O2 data if u are tuning in Open Loop and WOT(which is also Open Loop). Otherwise, you use the BLMs for Closed Loop. Part of the reason is that contrary to popular belief, a 128 BLM does not necessarily equal 14.7:1

Very interesting and makes perfect sense. I am torn regarding the future on my 95. I love the car and how it drives but would love to pep it up a little perhaps just going the cam and head porting route. It currently is at 400rwhp. After years of dealing with the aftermath of major engine work, I have grown a bit gun shy of a full out 415 or bigger engine modification. There always seems to be negative fallout of some sort and with all the builders so far away who work ion ZR1's, it is not like I can just drop my car off and have them take a look at it..... I had a very bad experience with a local (high regarded) race engine builder when building my 434 SBC for my 72. It is like I am snake bit when it comes to anything I do to my cars that I don't do myself. I could write a book on it.
Pete is putting together a “reasonably” priced Closed Deck 390 that should be in the 600hp range.

I found Pete's thread regarding the close deck approach. Looks sweet! Well....I could either push money into my current cars or buy a new ZR1..... for 10 times more money.....I wonder if it would be 10 times more fun?

I didn't read every post with great patience. I skimmed but didn't notice anything about controlling temps. Will limiting upper temps via larger fans and/or fan programming do anything for NOx emissions? I was under that impression and used that strategy in my build. (Still need bigger fans to lower limit to 200-210 degrees but I don't have to pass emissions in my state anyway. Just wanted to do it....for the sake of doing it,

Good work! And clever....with the water injection.

I have my (non-Z 383) turning on at 190...with aux adding in at 205 myself. That's not enough to keep temps at/below 205 in my case. That's why I asked. In my case, I need more fan.
Could be my dbl-row radiator isn't the best OR boring .030" over created that much extra heat.
