Adjusting Power commander...
« on: December 15, 2008, 10:25:04 PM »
I have a Power Commander II on my Hayabusa turbo buggy. The previous owner replaced the muffler on the buggy with a straight pipe. It sputters a bit at low revs. Could this be tuned using the buttons on the unit, as I don't have the software or the cable. If so, how is it done? Thanks for any replies.

Well I wish I could yes but most likely not.The buttons only enrich/lean the map across the entire map.You need to get a cable and software and some means of logging the A/F ratio.I use an O2 logger from Innovate and a DL-32 logger. I only use PC3 USB or I'd give you a copy.Maybe someone else can help you out on that.

www.innovatemotorsports.com      . You'll likely only need/want a cheaper logger from them to just log A/F. You will definitely need the LC-1 wideband o2 sensor for measuring the A/F. Their website has tons of info.  When it gets confusing just ask us for help or whatever.

Welcome new guy.

Is it possible to have it reset to a "factory" or default setting?   Anyway to reset it manually as a starting point? Or send it off and reflash?   BTY, I know nothing about them, just a general electronic device starting point....

PLEASE IGNORE ANYTHING I JUST SAID AND REFER TO THE NO NO NO below.

NO,no,no,no do not set it up with any map available and run it .There's really no such thing as a "universal map" for a turbo busa.He has the starting point already.It just needs tweaked.If he doesn't want to do it himself he needs to go to a good tuner/dyno and have it done right.  GREAT info can be had here

It reminds me of my old vw buggy loading up and all you have to do is blip the throttle and clean it out.  Will the spark plugs tell me if it too rich or lean?  I'm new to fuel injection. ???

I sent my commander out to be programed. I told them what intake and exhaust i had and they programed it for me for $40. I cant remember what shop did it, I will try to find my recept and let you know. I think you can also go on the website and they can set up a fuel map for you and you can download it if you get the cable from them
Its better to be a smartass than a dumbass!

You can't read the plugs and decide if the stumble is from too rich or lean.

It does have a turbo. I'm thinking of getting the new version of the power Commander and starting from there, so at least I'm up to date as far as hardware goes. Does the air/fuel meter just stick in the exhaust pipe? Or do I need to install a bung in the exhaust tract for the sensor?
