... tuning that can be achieved only through flashing..." There is no module other electronic item that will change the rev limiter, for instance. There is no way to change timing as intricately as it can be changed through flashing.
That right there says the Muzzy advancer turns obsolete. We have a timing map. So that automatically/EE (electronic engineer-ing) times the cam in to the crank. Manually, you physically move the single square wave out of phase with the dual wave of the cam. They both sit 'balanced' in that map.
...but if I still need a full array of Dynojet stuff even after I have this awesome map flashed to my ECU, why not just skip the flash and store the awesome map in the PC5
That analog out the ECU is recaptured by the pc. You can't set the mechanical advance, and then set the pc's timing thinking you can dial in the cam too. See that move? It gets complex.
Is it that I will need to adjust my awesome map from time to time and that is why I need the AutoTune and PC5 + AFR gauge???
Autotune is the AFR gauge. It uses the 02 to learn how to smooth out your performance map for best economy and best performance. The speed of the 02 vs. the gauge is pretty fast. That's the type of 02 they use is the faster model [more wires] for the box of the pc has all that chip stuff in it and the 555 chip clicking off the 1010101 at any speed you put it at. So if you watch the air gauge, it goes on and off via a signal. It turns on and off. Now, if you walk old auto car parts like a primitive PAIR system, it functioned under light loads, like cruising speed. When you stomped it to the floor, you causes a lot of vacuum so now that mechanical door that was flapping with your foot, is now stuck closed. See that move? So vacuum wise on the bike, it's going to feed off of your custom map, shuts down the 02. Physically, you'd think the evolution would mimic the same theory, yes?
So if this autune keeps learning throughout the rpm range, it is going to cause a balance between the two, yes. Say you learn between so many rpm ranges and leaves the others alone. See how your performance map comes back into play? There may be a 3rd variable, I don't know? I'm now inside the ECU and I'm looking for that electrical number in the alchemy of that fuel variable number.
Because if it is, I still am not getting the advantage of having your OEM map erased from the ECU and replaced with that which could have been stored in the PC5 (among other maps).
WATT you are watching is that 'air gap of a signal' you are waiting for. So you take one of my posts is a BG'map. You now try to rewrite it so it makesense. Now you are typing in so many different letters, it's going to readifferenthellikeyougunshoudn'tipseatoethere. And that's when you hear a cry for a different map. So if you don't have the flash right, the cry is, "I need another flash." But you can turn the pc off and have a stock map, yes, no burn... Big advantage when reselling the bike. You present a stock bike. Where are you going? How much reach around do you want to pocket out? It's hard to stop, but you go whole hog, or penny pinch small amounts of power increase no matter how you look at it.
...and that Top Speeed Limiter?? Yeah, we all want to get rid of that. A Bonneville will do the job just fine + it will correct the speedo. The ECU flash will also do both, you say?
No, just one. The bike will unlimit but no speedo reset.
When I played a little with the factory's ECU-kit, it had a sprocket change map. Because it was a racing ECU, so do the tracks change for things like more top end is the front straight, yes, so a map was for this purpose. With this street ECU, it may not have this kind of map? Unless WoolyRacing is still digging for any kind of map or all that is all that showed up are it? I have no clue how/where to look. So all I can do is mention the diff between a racing ECU and why would I need or make a map, if I already have my numbers from the tire diameter down to the crank to clutch ratio and all that math to make this turn this mph if you have this at so many rpm to wheel spin, etc. In other words, it's preset I would imagine. Besides, who gives a fill in the blank when you are not limited. You'll be closed course with a ticket at the end. You want a lap time and average speed? There's math for that too. Are we measuring our dick we need to know how fast we went on the street?
OK, but what happens when you change sprockets or your tire wares down or you just get a tire with a different hieght? That flashed -7.5% speedoo correction will be way off. So I need to keep my SpeedoHealer or Bonneville on the bike now too so I can adjust the speedo correction that was flashed to my ECU and is no longer accurate?
I think that extra wear is factored in. Besides, that speedo is not increment accurate or we'd have a huge gauge to add the mph marks from 0 to 10, 10 to 20mph,etc.
C'mon fellas. Is it really all that convenient to have a flash instead of the modules?plus you can't sell your flash if you ever want to get rid of it. You have to spend more money to have the ECU unflashed.
Yes and no for convenience. Yes, you have a limiter rpm, limiter mph, ign curve, fuel trim. Then again, no accel enhancer that the pc/pig presents. And of course you can sell both units, or hold on to them for the next bike. Well, you have two options really. One is to send in the ECU twice. The other option is to use that double think money sink and think of buying the unit, you break even. You can go to the pig sites and share maps all over the place, meaning, pig for pig unit. So as far as getting the thing tuned, you can learn to tune it, or download a map and be done with it.
Racing wise we weigh bike for bike, we are even. You install a pig with how many boxes sticking out of it? How many places did you try to hide it is one. Now that you have all that crap off the ECU wire, look at the flash without a wire attached. You begin to add pounds back on the bike... Not convenient looking is it for speedowning is your pig unit.
