What if I told you the fuel pressure in each bike did not match
I believe that. Book says; and not looking it up, but say the '06 had a deep sump pump, the '08 to current use the shorter sump size. Both call for 44psi so the pump is one pressure out the tube. The ECU cuts the pulse rate via how much amp they program at the injector's fpm (fuel per minute).
So when the press release says; 'we use 3 intervention techniques rather than the standard-2 the rest of the industry uses, meaning, inj/ign cut, we use fuel/inj/ign to cut, meaning, intervene on the power delivery. So yes, early gen [w/deep sump], used larger fmp injectors, and the 2-cut-standard. So I can see a fueling at the software manipulation, but the physical pump is mechanically preset to said [44 psi] range, give or take a few pounds at the processor.
So begs the question, was my flash ready to share. Answer to that was No, Yet some did take it, and did share it, made small changes and claimed as their own.(Long Sad Story, Yawn) You don't want me to bore you with the details.
Whooo, are we saying that Vic came up with a, 'can you do this' scenario, and you say, 'yet some did take, did share it, made changes' and now Vic is on a revised Romes map?
I can see you were the first to send that flash out, was in more of a development stage looking back etc., but then the sad as it goes story develops, and here we are. As far as the gauges on the lapper's screen, from left to right, looks like rpm is under 1,000 rpm, but we read the middle ignition degrees and book says; idle's ignition is set @ 10° BTDC; but looks like 10+ degrees with an under 1,000 rpm. Far right gauge reads AFR and we are looking at 13a+. So say 13.1 AFR. Idle/Ign/AFR look pretty close to me.
So how subtle can either one be? I'm trying to recall Lee's photos that may have shown a flashed AFR at idle? And how close were those numbers as opposed to the number above on the lapper? So now I'm getting confused. Vic finds no difference is a revised map from someone else?
What if I told you the fuel pressure in each bike did not match.
The deep think was when I dyno'd the '06 injectors on the '08 with the '08 ECU. It ran rich as hell and bellows of white smoke were pushing out of the pipe. The think Deep was already in place. Pressure behind each injector does not match bike to bike could mean cali vs 48 state obviously. The question, 'does one flash fit all bikes' is of course no. Look at the '06 injectors to the '08's ECU. I got that part.
You still have a demand schedule vs. handcuffed math. Did you disable the 3kills? Is the 2kills of old no longer in function? Doubt it; just different math or you'd flash maybe at the dash? No maps were altered for the 3kills so maybe there is a universal 'no effect' occurring? Main fuel map is the popup. I sit down with Vic, he's going to explain surface speak. Speak like in, 'when this milliamp exceeds ____ fill in the blank number, proceed to backup.' I know it's not how the code reads, but you come up with the idea, you can code it I would assume, yes? The processor can only do a job if told, so every map has to be written to perform said function, yes?
Rather than that surface shit, the way I think is backdoor. I've got enough processing steps to be dangerous in theory. If I knew the backdoor to the codes, then I could have a better understanding of the surface code Vic knows. So where I'm going says; the flash may not matter; we have no blinking warning window the flash pushed upon.
Again, the factory sells a preset, then you come along and fiddlefuck with it. This movement in tune becomes more like a plug$pay. You'll begin paying for more tuning fixtures on the bike; just because you upset the preset. Thus begins the halfassed tune>>> we start out with flash alone. This goes right back to watching the tuners and see who runs an ECU with pc, be it stock or flashed.
So WATT I see is more work at the tune w/piggyback setup. Autotune a flash for your neighborhood kind of:
1. Altitude
2. Ambient
3. Temp
My atmo sensor under the seat knows my altitude pressure. So for me to tune a bike, I'm not about to throw in some preset flashed bike with a 2,000 foot level. Because the flashed atmo number now uses this number against a 200 foot environment? And that high alt map was flashed with the AAT presets fed into the dyno room also. So that right there can factor or refactor the mapping to said 200 foot. So, here is our revised 2000 foot flash for your 200 foot bike... happy halfass racing/riding.
Where the racing community pack up their gear, head for the next state and that altitude/a&t, plug in autotune, save and are ready for a revised map to meet a new AAT.
