Question, What does the abbreviation CDE refer to ?

Ok i cant spell it but i will try my best.....Charge Dillution effect....it is exhaust reversion.

Some have made changes to it some have not. i dont think for the most part it needs to be changed for most aplications but some here have had good results i believe.

You need to "export" the tune, then load it back in. This can be done as many times as you want to get the best balanced tune. It all depends on how **** you are

You don't actually run the autotune until you load it after the export. The autotune run only creates the map.

Anyone know what was in the latest PV firmware upgrade released over the weekend? I updated my current maps and did a compare and did find anything different. Where can you go to read what uopgrades there are to each version?

I'll have to check when I get home......

If it was a firmware upgrade, this does not change your maps. Firmware is the software the PV uses.

The website lists 2.0.0-1197 as the latest firmware version 10/29/2012.


Here's the history

I downloaded it last night. It has a version date of 6/6/13 and I believe the last 4 digits was 1252.

Some of the updates have made previously un accessible tables accessible. I think that was what heatwave was inquiring.

Re-posting from the Touring section...

So I installed the FM107 awhile ago, went back and forth with FM a couple times and then had it tuned locally. (an hour and a half away) The problem I'm having now with temps getting warmer is some serious pinging especially under load and below 3k RPMs. Engine temps are running between 260-280 with 80 degree temps and in stop and go hitting 300. Seems way high to me and I can definitely feel the motor between my legs being hotter. I'm looking to try some other maps even though I had it tuned already. My tuner said he'd make it right but I have a trip coming up and can't get in soon enough to have it tweaked. My set-up is the 107 with TW-555 cams, Big Boys Street heads, open K&N filter with backing plate, PowerVision and true duals w/ 4" Rineharts. My email is lfkwende@comcast.net if anyone can help me out. I'm thinking the timing may need to be retarded but not savy enough with WinPV to mess with it myself. Need to get this fixed before I do any real damage. Appreciate in advance...

Contact dynojet. I was having trouble with pings at around 3K. I also was not comfortable with WinPV to mess with the maps. They retarded the spark in a curve in the 3K range and it stopped pinging. Took them 3 tries to nail it.


Have you tried doing some autotune runs? That might actually be all you need.

You could load the map you have then go to quick tune then timing and retard the med load by 3* and see if it helps.
