PATCH: NLTS + Valet + KnockCEL
#451
The only complaint I have (if you can even call it that; this is a huge improvement over what we had before) is that I'm very used to how NLTS on DSMLink and the code I wrote for our old 1g DSM worked: that is, rather than an RPM "drop", you have a fixed target NLTS RPM. So, rather than revving to 7000 RPM, then having an offset applied to current RPM for target shift RPM, you'd have an ideal target shift RPM set statically, so that no matter where you shifted, you'd get a consistent mid-shift RPM. Handy for the occasional freeway pull where you'd like to build a bit of boost before accelerating.
I've also noticed that, unless I set the TPS threshold very high, quick throttle blips when downshifting get squashed. (ie. You're at 3000 RPM in third, clutch in, blip the throttle to get the RPMs up, shift to second; NLTS as implemented here trips me up pretty good, because it doesn't allow engine speed to rise higher than 2500 RPM, while the fixed RPM version does pretty much exactly what you'd expect.)
Yes, you just have to make sure that your TPS threshold is high enough and you don't go past that threshold to blip the throttle for a downshift. A setting like 95% or somewhere around there shouldn't be an issue, unless you're flooring the throttle to rev match for the down-shift.
I actually like the TPS threshold compared to DSMLink, because with DSMLink the NLTS was active all the time and you could hit it shifting during normal driving if you went over the static NLTS limit. It was a bit of a pain, jerking around when you didn't want it to happen. Having a TPS threshold eliminates this to an extent.

o nm i finally got it all to work but dont kno how to turn off the valet mode once its on. i got te holding the gas pedal down thing to turn it on,m but dont know how to turn it off, i tried hoilding it again and i hear the ecu click or something cliocks but it wont turn off. thakns

*nod* I started off at the default 70%, which completely threw me. I have it at 90%, and it's less of an issue now, but I still trip it every so often. I'll give 95% a try and see if that works out better.

When you hold the gas pedal down to activate it, the CEL blinks really fast when its activated. Just keep holding your foot to the floor for an additional amount of seconds (whatever you set the activation timer for...mine is 5000ms). So, whenever you deactivate it, the CEL goes out

Is anyone having difficulty logging with EvoScan after loading these patches into their respective ECU's?
EvoScan wiggs out everytime I try to log with the patch.
When I re-load my ROM prior to loading in the patch, EvoScan works fine.
Any suggestions? I would like to not have to load an old ROM everytime I want to log..

Anyone else ave any input on this?
I believe I am still using EVOScan v.99.... (I think)

I don't get any error messages, it does log, but all of my variables jump around something wierd. After it being connected, the car starts doing really funky things, as mentioned once by I thing Eric (l2r99gst) that it might be sending things to the ECU to run checks or something...
I am lost on this one, as it does it on my car, as well as a friends.

mine did that as well... i had to uninstall evoscan and remove it from the registry and then reinstall it... also, do you have ecuflash and evoscan open at the same time ? maybe you have some sort of conflict with both programs and the cable ? not likely, but a thought.

I am very disiplined about not having ECUFlash and Evoscan open at the same time due to some conflicts int he past.
Maybe tonight I will try to do the complete uninstall/reinstall.
