  1. Thanks i dont think 4 big injectors are a possibility as they are bike injectors and Ive not seen any ASNU ones (the ones i always use) like it. I think any big injectors would struggle to get a good tick-over and allow the right flow on full boost. Its a road bike but with over 300bhp at the back wheel, so yes i think traction control/anti wheelie would be a good idea but its not fly by wire throttle. Time to trade in the old G4 xtreme, i was keeping it just in case. As you never know what you've bought the day after you've been pissed up and on intent.

    Turbo Hayabusa

    Right then ive been asked to sort out a Hayabusa Turbo bike. Its running it own ecu a a turbosmart e boost as well as a dynojet and hotshot racing ecu. Possibly more stuff that the owner not aware of. I original thought of monsoon ecu only to find it had 8 injectors. Ive got a spare old G4 xtreme but think it may need more. What the options

    Hardwire PDM

    Ive tried some of the CAN coms between the two units, it seem like the PDM has a big issue as it cant read more then the first frame in a stream. Ive attempted altering the PDM's Can input ID by 2 if its frame 3 i need but its still not happy. The link doesn't like any of the data from the PDM.

    Link Razor PDM

    Yeah I just had an e-mail that this new product is coming out and by this would be a lot easier to programme so i could get rid of the one I've got. But no information about price and when it would be available In the UK. but it looks like it's got 4 designated outputs and then is it further eight that can be used as inputs or outputs up to 8 amps. So with that in mind I'd probably need two but more likely 3 To take the place of my present PDM.

    Hardwire PDM

    Yes there a lot of data going through, majority is the PDM's own Link setup. I kept a lot of it just to see If it was all up and running. But your right half of it can be removed. Things like fuel pressure are there for when it's all running. As the ecu will do the FIP on 2 stage. Fuel pressure is a fail safe in case it's falls below 3bar or the PDM doesn't get the signal. Of course they'll be safe guards in place. The dash is a haltech IC 7 Yea the ECU will hopefully do the engine start but it needs to get a clear signal from the keypad via the PDM. But then the ecu will tell the PDM to provide power to the starter. Do you think I would be better to let the link ecu see and control the Can keypad and just tell the PDM what been pressed. I've only briefly looked at the Link doing that as the PDM is doing all the switching.

    Hardwire PDM

    Thanks Dont judge me on the bad all over the place set up on both the Link and PDM. Some of this was done to workout and solve the issues. Both maps are still very much a working process. Saying that Im still a novice to the world of CAN and both system are different even though they should be identical. The terminology between the two makes also a similar but different and the same terms can mean different things on each make. But have a look saving see any glaring errors and if you could put me in the right direction. But the dash, O2 sensor and Link ecu all work fine together. When the blink marine keypad has had found by the link that also works correctly and it's extremely quick though its configuration is slightly different to that of the PDM. The PDM did go for a phase where it was having issues with the keypad but it seemed to sort itself out. I been told that the keypads cant be used by the Link and PDM at the same time, which is a shame but i can see they would be issues if they did. 20220815 sort out CAN as DASH.hwpdm 20220815 b4 sorting the E throttle.pclx

    Hardwire PDM

    Thanks for that, the only reason I was going to use the same can message ID as the dash, was, I could see the dash was getting the signal all the time even when the engine was running. For some reason as soon as the engine started the first can stream flagged out on the PDM. when the engine stopped it started receiving it again. I know what you mean about the voltages not ring true and all over the place. When you are monitoring all the values they're all up and down there never constant even a stable 5 Volt sender can sometimes read 6v. Have you any idea why the can data from the PDM to the ecu isn't accurate. I want to be able to send data from the pm to the ecu the as is not accurate or constant I've never got it to work properly, majority is fine going in the opposite direction. I wasn't sure if there's some special configuration that I need to take into account that you know of, as normally can data is 100% correct or not received.

    Hardwire PDM

    I'm in the proceess of re doing the Can for the PDM. When i first did it, the PDM didn't like more than one frame in each stream, it had about 5 Can Id's one frame each. Is that what you ment by compound messages. They sort of figured that out on 3 hr teamveiw on Monday. They suggested using the generic dash but there set up is for the G4+ not G4x. Ill just filter the parts heeded. As soon as I've got it where i want it, more or less configured ill send you them With the PDM 25+ you can plug the USB lead in and configure it without power as it works on the 5v. The main issue is the data from PDM to ecu. As it uses/sees the can data from the keypad.to start the engine I wanted the use the keypad/PDM to send to ecu to open the accusump then the ecu to send a start signal back to PDM to start the engine as soon as there 2bar oil pressure. I had configured the Link ecu but the issues is the initial signal from PDM. As the Link doesn't see it correctly.

    Hardwire PDM

    I have a link G4x xtreme, Blink Marine 12 keypad, Haltech dash, AEM wideband and a Hardwire PDM all connected on CANBUS. Mostly there all communicating correctly other than the PDM. I had hardwire themselves trying to sort the issues out but didn't get it 100% sorted. If the engine ran then one of the streams didn't get sent. No errors were shown on the ecu the PDM just shown flaged out. So I have now got reconfigure the PDM can to see the same stream as the dash, which I hope will be fine 2 items using the same. Most of the stuff goes fine from ecu to PDM but going the other way isn't. I can send a simple value of 1 and the ecu can see sorts of values. If I send just a status again the ecu can some show "out of range" or the active will occilate when on. Any ideas
  10. Im having issues with the Engine fan control. Ive set all the variables up and the fan out put is going to CAN aux 5. The PDM is set to power the fans when the output is on. I wanted to test the fans output, but theres no Test function anymore. So i lowered the Engine fan temp to 20 degrees as the coolant was 30 ( Its been hot outside). But it didn't trip the fans. So i set up another output using all the same date and lowered the temp to 20 and it worked. is there a reason why the standard ECU's fan controller not tripping the fans when the temp is lowered. I want to check it works as i dont want it to fail when needed.
  11. Thanks for you support i thought id F'd the install some how, or the AEM wasnt playing the same game as the rest of the stuff. I'm happy with AFR rather than Lambda its just what I'm use to. All I have to do is get the dash to read AFR, the Multiplier for the Dash/lambda is set as standard at 1000. So if I change that to 14700 (14.7 x 1000) it should read the AFR value. The dash is Haltech and wont show AFR.
  12. So do you mean that it looks right as all the numbers add up. And if the engine was to start everything should fall in line, as in AFR drop the same as Lambda in other words if Lambda read 1 therefore AFR should read 14.7. It just didnt look right.
  13. Started to sort stuff now where the wiring will let me test the ecu and the canbus . The issue I have is that for some reason the lambda reading is 96.34 when it should have been 18 to 20 at the most as the engine wasn't running. My dash was showing 6.55 which is similar to the uppermost range that is given on the instructions. Lambda range 0 to 6.55. can anybody throw any light on why the ecu is seen such a high figure or how I can bring it down to the maximum limit of what it should be when the engine isn't running. I know playing about with the divider on the can set up you can go to a maximum of something like 32,000 which brings it right down to about AFR of 30, still too high. As far as aware it all installed correctly and it was done as per the help file

    CAN Keypad

    I've got a l link G4X xtreme ecu and blink marine keypad. Admittedly is not the link variant but it's one I had before you brought your version out. I'm in the process of installing the ecu, keypad, PDM and a dash. I was just wondering how you use the buttons to make the ecu do stuff. My ECU can see the keypad, I have got the various screens open but I cannot see no input when I press the keypad. Also, Im not too sure how to make, say button six for example the Start Stop button, as none of the menus come up with button 6.
  15. might be a bit of a strange one to ask, regarding the auxiliary outputs I've seen that they can either give a earth or can provide battery voltage. I've seen that they can only do something with a maximum of seven ohms but if they're being used to power something then they can only do so up to half an amp. I was trying to get the ecu two power the indicators as I have two spare auxiliary outputs. I did check the resistance on the indicator circuit and it came out at two mega ohm's, but this seems not really possible but it could be right. Would it be possible to do this without the use of any relays and just use one of the ecus timers to switch the power on and off for the indicators, or will the indicators which are LEDs draw too much current.
  16. I found one yet and thought of the problems that two independent ecus could see the same information. One main things I'm trying to get it to do is start the engine but before the engine starts the gearbox is gotta be in neutral and the accusump be turned on and oil pressure up to two bar. I think I've done this mainly with the ecu getting the start signal from the keypad via the PDM but then using some outputs and virtual outputs to fire up the accusump and then send the signal to start once it reaches 2 bar that's not a problem I think. Yeah it would be a great help Working out how to transferring the can data, at the moment I've set it for generic dash to send and just amended the last few frames with the data I'd like to send. And then receive under configurable dash. But I was surprised how quickly you can use up all 25 outputs of the PDM
  17. Recently got a hard wire PDM 25+ and a blink marine can keyboard so they're not installed yet as I'm trying to sort all the electrics out, and programme the PDM. I've outlook on the can set up on the link ecu, G4x xtreme but I can't see anything that relates to a can keyboard or keypad. what would be the best settings to put in for the can receive data to stand a good chance of seeing the output of the keypad. Realistically it's just one button which is the stop/start button that I would like to be able to see. I know I possibly could use the PDM to transmit it over can.
  18. I'm a bit of a novice as well when it comes to can systems, trying to tune them. The PDM even though Im just by looking at the software seems quite powerful. It's not as user friendly as the link but its got the same functions, I suppose have got used to the link over the years. Now you can do quite a bit with it but you can't manipulate the data before you send it onto CAN. Theres no extra auxiliary or virtual inputs/output so some of the statements are quite long winded. I'm also not too sure how the timers work how there started or if they reset or just stop. Hopefully wont take too along to get used to it is a bit like trying to tune a car with a Haltech or motec ecu instead of a link there's going to be differences some are easier someone more difficult. But I'll have to wait really to see what data gets transfer between the ecu and the PDM and vice versa before I make my mind up how everything is going to work. Things like the gear position sensor that will have to be sent to the ecu then transferred to PDM over Can but I'm not sure how the PDM recognises neutral and reverse, when you set it up on the link ecu I think reverse is 11 so it may be something similar to that I don't know.
  19. Thanks for that ,yeah I'm just waiting for the company to come back with a decent quote for the PDM but I think that my free up channels . One of things I wanted to try and do was push button start/stop but the PDM oil accumulator would fire up first the and then not send the message to start over can until the engine oil pressure was at 2 bar. Is that sort of thing possible. Or would the ecu have to be configured to see the can keyboard, if this is possible do this and the engine not to start until the oil pressure reach 2 bar. The CAN keyboard is a blink marine type but I've not seen anything like that in any of the pull down CAN menus.
  20. Ive just see the reply, yeah thanks for that . Ive seen that the Haltech dash can be set at 500kb/sec so both will be running at the same bit-rate. Shortly I will be running a PDM and the associated can keyboard hopefully these can be set to 500 kilobytes second. For receiving and sending data to the PDM (which is looking like it will be a hard wire electronics one) what's the best setting to have just send/receive configurable generic dash.
  21. My wiring is a bit of a state, looks like a snakes wedding. I've seen that ECU Master make a small CANBUS controler does this work with the Link G4x extreme. Not sure how it can be set up though.
  22. Yes, running a dash as well. Admittedly it’s a Haltech one.
  23. Right, be worth doing then. will it be fine to run it with a Link CAN splitter.

    CAN wideband.

    I've got AEM wideband O2 sensor that I believe has the capability of transmitting on CAN. Now I was trying to find out what the advantages of using CAN rather than a 0-5v input. I know it will free up one input, that could be used for something else, other than that is there any other great advantage. I'm presently at that point of the final fit my ECU and getting/cutting all the Looms to fit the ECU, I realised it if it do go down the CAN route for the Wide Band that i have to somehow incorporate it into the system or get a CAN extender.
  25. Thanks for that at least it means I haven’t been a complete muppet/novice and show both ECUs we’re doing the same thing but in a slightly different way.
