Here is my config. Hope you can download it! Also my tachometer wont work but i think the problems is my rpm meter in the car.

Your config is very bad(ign table, fuel table, injector settings, lambda table, mat compensation, accel enrichment...).
But i fixed cold start. Give me you email.

Why so bad?!

ve talbe- your engine increase VE with boost and rpm, that is very unlikely
ign table- same advance at 3500 and rev limit, also very unlikely
i sent you config to email, so you can try cold start.

Also, your config is set to run in closed loop up to 7000 rpm, i would not recommend that.
To boost, or not to boost!
Yea i know i have a lot of questions, sorry.. :)

At the moment it`s 350% at 0 degrees and 150% at 40 degrees, engine starts after few seconds of cranking. Tomorrow I will try to decrease cranking enrichment and we`ll see how it goes.
Here`s the latest vemslog: http://www.vems.hu/filethingie.php?subdir=iwbs/latest%20vemslog

From bmw stock car, cranking enrichment. For vems you need to scale with warmup enrichment.
bmw
temp   multy      
-30   9.66      
-20   7.5      
-10   3.45      
0   3.08      
10   2.5      
30   2.1      
60   1.8      
90   1.25

So what you`re saying is that for VEMS, cranking enrichment needs to be scaled with warmup enrichment? For instance if I take multiplier 9,66 on -30 and my warmup enrichment multiplier on -30 is 1,3, then 9,66*1,3 gives me the actual cranking enrichment multiplier?
What about afterstart enrichment in this case? Is it also scaled with previous curves?
Btw I`m using Audi redtop coils.

There is nothing wrong with that. If race cars who do 24hrs with the same lambda sensors can do it then why not VEMS?

Theres a video of a megasquirt seminar somewhere, some well known bloke, cant remember his name lol talking about wideband closed loop controlling individual cylinders on a land speed record car. By the sounds of it, they run EGOC all the way up to red line per cylinder

Here you go, found it. Slightly off topic i know.

I understood if that would be individual egt correction but wideband, that's expensive :D

The point is, these guys are willing to run egoc right up to red line on a very expensive engine, yet others say on here that its bad to run egoc past 4500rpm.

I think vems is better placed to be honest as if the sensor or circuit dies, vems ignores it and runs open loop. What happens with an ecu taking a 0-5v signal from a wideband controller when a sensor dies?

Max enleanment/enrichment % should be capped such that its not going to kill the engine if things get out of hand because of a dead sensor anyway, so running egoc all the way up to red line is neither here or there from a safety point of view. What if something changed suddenly for another reason that caused a sudden lean off, and egoc was not reacting to it because it was dissabled? Half a dozen of one and 6 of the other. Things have moved on, and egoc reacts faster than it use to, that and with these new LSU4.9 sensors, i dont see why not.
