Maximum fuel adjustment during last nitrous activation (blacked out
█ █ █
during nitrous
activation). This can be cleared manually and is always clear upon next nitrous activation.
This can be cleared manually and is always cleared upon next nitrous activation.
PSI 240
For systems without a N2O pressure regulator (NON in lower right-hand corner of Startup
Screen), this displays current nitrous tank pressure. For systems using a N2O pressure regulator
(ADJ or FIX in lower right-hand corner of Startup Screen), this shows the maximum nitrous
pressure during the shot, where the pressure is measured after the solenoid valve. The
maximum is averaged over a 1 second period.
MxTP 208
Maximum throttle position reading since this menu was last cleared or since engine was last
started.
Selecting Y will clear these values. Use any arrow key to select Y or N. Pressing “SEL” takes you to the Main Menu.
V. EFI Tuning Suggestions
Each Fuel adjustment setting goes from –99 to 127. Positive numbers add fuel and negative numbers subtract fuel. The
Control Box will not prevent a lean burndown! You must take the proper tuning steps the same as if you were tuning a
carburetor.
The maximum is set to 127. This does not mean you have an effective range all the way to 127 – you will likely max out
the injector before this setting is reached. Your usable adjustment range (max value) is dependent on how long the ECU
already has the injector on. This will vary depending on rpm, throttle setting, temps, and can be different from sled to sled
even of the same model.
Exhaust Gas Temperature gauges can be an effective tuning tool, but they are not a substitute for reading spark plugs and
piston wash and feeling how the engine runs. Use EGTs only as a backup to verify what you see. They can be misleading
under certain conditions and safe readings can vary greatly from engine to engine depending on such things as probe
placement, fuel, timing, pipe design, porting, etc.
Tuning tips:
Important: Find the settings where your motor runs rich before you decide to go lean!
1. Tune with the engine and pipe at operating temperature. The sled’s ECU will make adjustments as the engine
warms up – you might think the engine needs leaner settings then later realize you are too lean once the engine
warms up.
2. Use the Load/Save Map feature to quickly change and compare fuel settings when testing. This can also be
useful for riding under different conditions. For example, changing elevations or temperatures may require
different adjustments if the stock ECU does not compensate properly for your modifications. For drag racing,
you might want to run richer settings for longer distances than you would for short distances.
3. One method for finding out where a fuel adjustment setting is effective, greatly increase only that setting. Run the
engine to find out when it suddenly becomes too rich – this is where that setting is effective. Be careful – you can
easily flood the motor, especially with LO load or low rpm settings. If this happens, to restart the engine you may
have to pull several times with the throttle held wide open.
4. The Stats Capture feature can be used to determine RPM, and if the load setting is LO, MD, or HI. The nitrous
button can be configured to capture these stats (see nitrous configuration section below). From the Main Menu,
select N2O, set Btn to CAP. Whenever the button is pressed, the Stats: Capture screen will be displayed. The
current stats will be captured when the button is released.
