MSD dashhawk questions

[kevint57]

No, the ECU does not monitor that parameter for engine function...
Nor is pressure monitored...

thank you!

I don't get the AFR...it says 14.xx. Am I reading that incorrect or am i lean as hell?

I am often 13-14:1 at full boost just around the boost spike. This typically tapers down to 10-12:1 later.

xbox try reloeding the dashhawk and if that dosnt fix it upload the latest beata again.

I'm running the latest pre production version. I forget the number....but ya it's weird. So reflashing the dashhawk should fix this? I don't think that's the issue. I just thing the dashhawk isn't reading that sensor correct and doing the math right...

 

[dkswim]

reflashing tends to fix it it sometimes you get a bad download.

anyone ever used the shift light in their dashhawk, if you have could you please tell me how, thanks

 

[dkswim]

set your rpm off in the staged alerts a couple rpm lower then what you think. opposite color as your displaying. try and sett other alerts farther out.

I use the stage alerts and set my limit to 5700 in different colors; so I can shift at 6000. I just repeated the same settings 3 times but set the color differently. So now when I hit 5700, my screen flashes in rainbow colors (not really rainbow, but 3 bright contrasting colors)...


Ooh, 2.4 is officially released!!??? (huh)
Awesome!! Can't wait to go home and download it!!! (2thumbs)

how much "crap" do you have to DL to get the latest version installed?

 

[dkswim]

one file it takes 5 to 10 min to download it all.

Haha...

Now I am off to the MSD forum to see if they can allow more parameters to be data logged in a future update. I really need 8-10 to get a good look at everything important on this turboed engine.

Just out of curiosity, can you name the 8-10 you would like logged? I'm working on a datalogger in my copious free time (NOT), and would be interested to know what I should shoot for.

 

[cld12pk2go]

rpm, manifold pressure, AFR, inst HP, Ignition timing, knock retard, ambient temp, boost air temp, throttle position, DI fuel press

If I was to choose 10, that would probably be the list.

With much less you just really don't know WTF the computer is doing and why.

Bummer... Half of those you mentioned must be Mazda enhanced codes. Sure wish I could find a cheat sheet for them...

I might not have stated the exact PID for those items. However, those are what I would track (well I should toss in MAF voltage as well if I could).

 

[ericrapp]

yes

indeed!
