PROJECT BLACK PEARL
AI-Assisted ECU Calibration & WRX Development Platform
310 WHP @ 12 PSI | VF22 | Custom ROM Engineering | Live AI Logging
Current Calibration State
- Target Boost: 12 PSI (heat-consistent taper)
- WOT AFR: 11.3–11.5
- Ignition Advance: +1.5° conservative midrange
- Max Feedback Knock Observed: -1.4° transient
- IAM Stability: 1.00
- Idle: 875 RPM stabilized
ECU Development Strategy
Boost Control Architecture
Wastegate duty cycle reshaped for midrange smoothness and high-RPM taper stability.
Prioritized consistency over dyno spike numbers.
Fueling Strategy
Open-loop fueling optimized for thermal safety and knock suppression.
Closed-loop cruise retains drivability and economy.
Ignition Strategy
Incremental timing advancement validated through multi-log review.
Emphasis on repeatable performance and long-term reliability.
Knock & Safety Logic
Conservative retard limits with real-time AI-assisted log monitoring.
No aggressive timing chasing — stability prioritized.

AI-Assisted Calibration System
- Real-time OBD2 logging via Tactrix OpenPort 2.0
- Python-based log ingestion and trend detection
- AI anomaly detection for knock behavior patterns
- Boost and timing trend correlation monitoring
- Local LLM-assisted log interpretation pipeline
The system flags irregular correction behavior before mechanical thresholds are exceeded,
supporting disciplined incremental tuning methodology.
Recent Calibration Revisions
Revision v1.3 – Boost Stability Update
Objective: Reduce midrange spike.
Change: -4% WGDC adjustment at 3,800 RPM load column.
Result: Flatter torque transition, reduced knock correction.
Revision v1.2 – Ignition Curve Refinement
Objective: Improve throttle response under moderate load.
Change: +1° advance in 2.2–2.6 g/rev range.
Result: Improved response without IAM fluctuation.
Stage 2 Development Roadmap
- VF22 Turbo Integration Addons
- 1000cc Injector Scaling & Latency Modeling
- AEM 440 E85 High Performance Fuel-Pump
- Rev9 TMIC Thermal Efficiency Testing
- Target Output: 305 WHP (conservative street calibration)
