MSD dashhawk questions

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...
 
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.
 
o wow 2.4 production released on tax day. its been forever since i checked and im running 2.4 prepro3
 
anyone ever used the shift light in their dashhawk, if you have could you please tell me how, thanks :D

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)
 
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.
 
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).
