Flashing the 08 / ECU Editing software for GEN II Busas

I was wondering if i could take my Dynojet quickshifter and use it with the ecu editor. If so how would I go about doing this.

Anyone knows if I can use the ECU Editor for Canadian ECU?
I downloaded the software and gave it a try. The ECU list does not have the Canadians. I wonder if I can use the ECU Editor before I purchase the cable.
Thanks for your input.:bowdown:
 
Here is a picture of my ECU ( Canadian ECU ). I think it's the same as US model. I should be fine with ECU Editor. :thumbsup:

Need your input.........
The ECU Editor software has a feature to import the map from other sources such as Power Commander. There is a map close to my exhaust setup (Tiforce megaphone + V&H header) by Power Commander that I can use as a base map to start. I wonder if anyone have been using this feature.
 
No wouldn't use it, it was developed before knowing how the power commander only worked lower injectors, not to mention I bet that map in a power commander isn't a very good tune, always get best results with your bike being tuned for your mods on a dyno

I purchased the interface for the ecu editor program cause im kinda a geek and like the idea of being able to hook my bike up to a laptop and tinker with it. I found a bike shop in my area that has a dynojet, but the shop owner isnt familiar with tuning thru the ecu. He swears by the new bizzaz unit. So i wanted to ask a few questions about the ecu editor so i may relay to him its limits and risks. Is it possible to "brick" the ecu? What are the limits of this route of tuning pertaining to engine build like turbo, nitrous, "wild" engine setups...is there a point where you would have to seek additional hardware to deal with certain things beyond the scope of the ecu tuner?
Also whats a good way to transition from pcv and bizzaz interface to the ecu tuner interface...what the numbers mean, where to start, and how to get comfortable with understanding what is displayed...
I would like to get this guy using the ecu tuner, but he is wary of messing with the ecu and thinks that it isnt a all in one deal...old school kinda guy.
 
haven't seen a bricked ecu due to flashing yet, i have flashed mine 1000s of times by now. my bike makes 356 hp with ecu control only, stock injectors, stock base fuel pressure with a 1:1 rising regulator, and turbo of course. gear based boost and ignition control, increased rev limiter, etc etc etc, hard to argue with all that. bikes have made over 500 hp now with ecu controlling all fueling and ignition etc, not sure what else one could ask for lol

pcv map numbers suck, because they represent a fuel % increase, but on the lower injectors only, which at idle and part throttle = a real % increase, at WOT and high rpm, the lowers do 20% of the work, so it takes huge numbers in the pcv map to equal any real amount of fuel added, sort of counter intuitive.

In ecu editor, increase the number in the cell by the % of fuel you want to add, pretty simple, if its too fat decrease the number.
 
Can't answer much as I only have my experience to refer to. A fellow board member Truwrecks did the ECU work for me in conjunction with a Dyno operator. The dyno guy knew his stuff and how his dyno performed. He would tell Doug where changes needed to be made in the fuel mapping. Doug would make those changes via his connected laptop. Repeat as necessary until very happy with the results. In a non technical observation I think it only makes sense to work with a Dyno operator/tuner who is comfortable to make changes to the ECU or work with someone else on site doing the changes.

i cant wait to get it in the mail, ordered saturday so hopefully sometime in the up coming week ill get it and hook it all up and peek around. once i think i understand the interface ill head over to his shop and rent the dyno for a few hours and maybe show an old dog some new tricks.
he might be hesitant to start using this type of tuning cause it makes expensive hardware seem like a waste of money. would have to raise his price on dyno renting to make up for the lack of upcharged merchandise. but if i can wrap my head around this, i dont mind being the tuner. im a technical geek, so i already have a head start. i understand afr, timing, ect. from carbed engines, so i think if i stare at it long enough ill come up with a game plan on how and where to start. thanks :thumbsup:
 
Well after 2 days of fighting with this thing i am able to check/verify my ecu. it has timed out once so far, but i feel i have made it over the main hurdle. After pulling the wires out of the connectors from checking the wiring so many times, and having to recrimp them, fuel pump not priming at all when the flasher box was hooked up (no matter what position the switch was in) i was nearly ready to give up. So, after all that i gave it one more attempt, pulled the two wire thing out and reinstalled it, i have a proper connection...i think. Now i have to narrow down why ecueditor freezes (Not Responding) during the verify/check process.
Anyone know if the Australian ecu is the same as the US one?
 
I went to update Ecu Editor last week, now it downloads but wont install the newer 2.5.5.24 version, anybody have any ideas?.. a little screen says "Application Validation did not succeed"
