Re: dta p8 pro tuning
you need the knobs box/dyno box or just use the cursor on screen up and down buttons from the real time mapping window. Map needs to be unlocked.

Re: dta p8 pro tuning
Thanks for the help...I didn't realise it was that easy..
Still haven't played around with it that much

Re: dta p8 pro tuning
Seems like its just moving timing degree with nobs / fuel injector pulse . The numbers in columns don't change...

Re: dta p8 pro tuning
Yeh, read the manual!
This section indicates exactly what the system is doing any moment in a graphic display. Moving
needles constantly monitor RPM, fuel flow, ignition advance and exhaust gas content (rich or lean)
while gauge values are simultaneously given in large, clear colour-coded figures.
The Dyno Calibration Unit is a small box connected the to Engine Management Computer which
allows the user to modify the ignition and advance settings remotely whilst the engine is running.
There are two knobs and three buttons on this box. The two knobs will vary the calculated ignition
advance and fuel pulse length from the standard map by + or - 50% on fuel and 25 degrees on
advance and 10% on fuel and 6.5 degrees on advance in course or fine settings respectively.
1 Press "I" or its to turn off the map interpolation and work to the nearest cell. Fire up the
engine and set the dyno rpm to the rpm of interest.
2 Use either the advance map mode or the fuel map mode and you will see the current cell
position highlighted in black. Run the engine hard against the brake and adjust the knobs to
give maximum power. When the fuel or advance map is displayed along the top and right
hand edge of the map is a visual indication of the position within the cell. Always set the
throttle position and rpm such that the small black markers line up with map grid lines. This
will result in much more accurate maps. Press the enter key on the control box when you are
happy power is optimised. The cell which has just been traced (marked) will be highlighted in
brown (or blue if this happens to be the current active cell). If very little adjustment has been
used to achieve maximum power then continue for other cells you wish to trace. If a lot of
adjustment has been used stop the engine with the kill button on the dyno control box and
press F4 to exit and save the traced cells.
3 Enter the advance map edit mode (option 2 on the menu) and make sweeping adjustments to
the map using the function keys. NOTE that now that you have traced cells on the map that
when you do percentage adjustment using the function keys you will be given the option of
leaving the traced cells unaffected. Normally this will be your requirement as these cells have
already been set on the dyno. Check the map looks correct using the graph map key (F1).
Save the changes using the F4 key.
4 Enter the fuel map and do the same as in 3 above.
5 Return to the dyno mode and start up the engine. The kill mode will be deselected
automatically. Choose another cell and repeat the operation. This cell will probably be much
closer than the first and may be near enough i.e. require very little adjustment on the control
unit knobs. If this is the case carry on and do as many cells as you wish to
"map" the engine to your satisfaction. Save your adjustments by pressing F4. NOTE the
traced cells list (i.e. the cells highlighted in brown ) can be cleared at any time by pressing the
"T" key but beware that the information will be lost so save any traced cells by pressing the
F4 key before hand. An extra feature now added is that traced cells which have been used
already to update the engine map are now highlighted in black on green. This allows you to
keep track of which cells have been set and which have not.
And so on
