TuneECU - How to adjust for adding Triple K&Ns

[tdragger]

Now for a more complicated question.

I'm currently running with stock intake and Staintune Exhaust w/ Cat delete.

Current tune is Triumph 20226 (Aftermarket Exhaust w/ Cat delete).

There exists a .dat file (Tuneboy) for the Staintune, Cat delete, full power, speedo correction. I believe that it is based on the 20050 stock tune.

I'm hoping that a generous Captain out there can convert the Staintune tune to TuneECU's .hex format.

I am planning to install the triple K&N filters soon (along with the 2 small sensor filters) and fit the 02 Eliminator plug. I understand that this is going to cause the bike to run too lean.

What adjustments in TuneECU need to be made to adjust for the lean condition? Is it only at idle or at all rpms?

There are two ways to convert a map from .dat (TuneEdit) to .hex (TuneECU)

1- Load the map into TuneEdit and copy/paste each and every table into the same base tune number in TuneECU. Save the file. Very time consuming, but possible by anyone.

Realize that there are differences in different base maps (different stock map numbers) that are not accessed with TuneECU or TuneEdit. As a result, copying maps from one base map number into a different one, will not always produce acceptable results.

2- Load a map into the ECU with TuneEdit, and upload it with TuneECU. Save the file. Less time consuming, but requires TuneBoy kit (cable, software, and key) and access to each specific bike make/model required for the maps - and a charger on the battery.

I hope this helps.

I have (just about) the set up your planning for, and are running the tune 20228 downloaded at http://www.tomhamburg.net/TuneECU_En/index.html

Works good, sounds good and air/fuel mix seems to be ok

The 20228 tune appears to be the Triumph tune for Aftermarket Exhausts without Catalyst meaning that the Cat box is still there but empty. Many 06 models were shipped with an empty cat box if I remember right.

The 20226 tune is slightly different in that it explicitly notes that the Cat box has been deleted which is close to my current config.

I'm looking for adjustments for adding the triple air filter pods.

Would a tune for the triple K&Ns with D&Ds or TORs be appropriate?

tdragger - I think the pig9rdyno tune would work good for you. It is a dyno tune I did with triples and Maddog exhaust. Several have run it with TORs also and I bet it would be in the ball park for Staintune. I think I saw it on the TuneEcu list. Here is the .dat file either way.

Thank you, sir.

Has anyone converted the pig9rdynotune.dat file to .hex format?

I could see the .dat file on the tunes site but not the .hex version.

I'd like to know what the difference between the .hex and .dat information is. Are they different in the sense of something like "the number of map boxes are different" or is it a software compatability thing?
I don't doubt that in a few hours some genius will write a program that allows one to plug a .dat file in one end and a .hex tune pops out the other end. I should try to understand at least a little before technology does another low-level fly by of my skyward staring, mouth open, brain. LOL

I believe that TuneECU 1.4 could read .dat files but that ability has since been removed. The format reading code exists, in other words.

Some of the hardcore programming types on here should be able to come with a small converter utility fairly easily.

In looking closely at TuneEdit vs TuneECU, you will notice some diffences in the mapping tables when it comes to RPMs. For instance, TuneEdit has settings for 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1000 but TuneECU has them for 600, 800 and 1000. TuneECU has some additional points in the higher end of the rpm range that TuneEdit does not. I don't know how much that really matters but it is a difference that I noticed.
