Automatic transmissions, air conditioners and power steering uses a lot of energy and may cause engine RPM’s to drop and may stall the engine. Usually idle control will cater for this but you will also need to set fuel and timing accordingly. To adjust this start with a hot engine […]
Graph MAP with TPS tuning
This tuning is the same as MAP graph tuning with the added adjustment to get the engine to idle on TPS calculations. It is still easy to tune without going to TPS matrix. So first tune according to this method. The same principles will apply to the timing graph but […]
Flat Shift
This feature will momentarily cut the fuel or spark or both for a pre-set time during shifting. This will slow the engine RPM momentarily to ease shifting process in the gearbox. It is initiated by a negative going transition pulse of a switch, or electronics or load cell that will […]
Engine Limiter
This block has a few protection features. Setting them may prevent the driver from damaging the engine in normal and racing conditions. Boost limiter This feature will cut the injectors clean if the MAP sensor detects a manifold pressure that is higher than the set value. It is not a […]
Launch
The Launch control feature can be used for Launch control or to retard the timing during transmission shifts. But not for both. The driver will have to set it up for one of them. These features came later than the hardware so plans were made to accommodate them in this […]
Turbo Settings
Graph MAP Tuning
Make sure all safety precautions are met as specified by the Dyno Safety rules from the manufacturer. Also remember to keep an eye on the water temperature of the engine. If at any time you hear detonation, back off the throttle immediately and lower the timing in that RPM range […]
Accelerator Pump Tuning
Accelerator pump selection The accelerator pump setting is used to richen the fuel mixture when accelerating to avoid flat spots or bog. Here you can select not to use it, use either the TPS or MAP or both signals. Below is the selections to setup each pump for TPS and […]
Fuel economy cut-off tuning
This feature will cut fuel to the engine under low load conditions. This will save fuel in town and downhill driving. The engine will run against compression as you are decelerating. It will also prevent flaming in the exhaust during accelerator blip. The injectors will be cut when the MAP […]
Calibrate timing
This section discusses how to set the ECU timing to be accurate with Engine timing. This is important to see realistic timing values on the software and also settings that use the timing real-time bar to protect the engine. First get the engine to start and idle smoothly as discussed […]
