Default VTune Timing Run Setup Question

I'm, pretty much done with VEs, but I'm curious about using VTune with a street ready tune just to ride around and see if some timing is a bit high at 2500-3000 rpm 40-60 kPa. It's a 1450 lb. Triglide+rider. Do I still have to set everything to .981? I'm thinking it wouldn't matter if it's just timing and in actual closed loop anyway. Just curious.

You have a great amount of "closed loop" Lambda in your finished calibration. Take your TTS dongle and set it up for recording VTune and go take a normal ride, you have 10 hours of recording time you can fill up. You don't need to set your Lambda to exactly .981 for the sensors to give data. As long as you see the vertical red bar to the left of the lambda setting the switch for 02 sensors is switched on in that lambda cell.

When you come home take those data files and put them through VTune software and look at advanced view. You can also check the datamaster files for any knock and manually adjust your spark if necessary.

Thanks Wiz. I'm old school black dongle, so it's laptop and battery life, but I can do about 40 minutes at a time. Thanks for the advice.

Battery life is not an issue. Find a plug that will fit your computer and wire it to your 12v system. Or...

These are great ideas. I have a Dell Latitude E6410 that runs on 19.5vdc. But Amazon has a car adapter that takes 11-15 in and 19.5 out. Cool stuff.

OBTW, thanks for setting up the Dyno Section. It's cool to be able to scan single TTS issues without having to go through 600+ pages. The layout is real cool!

Your battery will still charge using 12v

Even better! I wasn't sure if it would work right. Definitely going to go DC-to-DC! Then I can load up 3 bags of thinset in the trunk and go 30 miles to the nearest hills! I'll be able to do a lot of work on timing over there.
