Adjustable parameters?

[Hawktoy85]

Where do I find good desriptions of what all the adjustment do? Like WOT fuel or Spark ect. Would realy like to know how to use my tuner correctly. Not just make changes and see what happens. Is there a write up or PDF I can download and read?

Thanks

Jake

Spark Adjustment

WOT Spark 1k-3.8k:
Allows user to adjust timing +/-10 degrees in the 1000-3800 rpm range
WOT Spark 4k-4.8k:
Allows user to adjust timing +/-10 degrees in the 4000-4800 rpm range
WOT Spark 5k-7k:
Allows user to adjust timing +/-10 degrees in the 5000-7000 rpm range
To properly dial in your timing using the Predator you need to log or monitor the following live data parameters.
Spark, this is your actual timing (in degrees) at any given time.
Knock Retard, this the amount of timing removed (in degrees) due to knock (detonation/ping). The knock sensors can in rare cases pick up other harsh engine noises as well, if this is the case it is recommended to fix the cause of the noise before proceeding.
You basically always want the knock retard to read zero under wide open throttle conditions, it is normal for it to show some KR when stomping on the throttle and also during the shift.
Monitor the spark and the knock retard pids under wide open throttle and see if you have any knock retard, anything higher than 1 should be adjusted in the respective timing range in the Predator , if the knock is severe, 5 deg plus, try lowering spark by 10%, if less than 5 deg, try 5%. Make another wide open pass and monitor the same pids and basically keep doing this until you seen no knock retard.
NOTE: The use of respective grade fuel should be used with tune choice.
91 octane tune will run on 87,89 and 91 octane. The 93 octane (Performance) tune will run on 91 and 93 octane. If severe knock cannot be remedied by adjusting the parameters for it, try to install the factory tune and monitor the knock using it. If knock still is present consider switching fuel brand.
DiabloSport recommends using fuels from the following vendors:
Mobil, Sunoco and Amoco/BP.

Tire size adjustment

The Predator has two different ways to adjust for tire size.
First Method
Enter your original tire size then enter the new(actual) tire size.
The Predator will prompt you to put in your original tire size in metric format (ex. 265/75-17), once entered the Predator will then display your entry and you confirm it by pressing enter.
The Predator will then promt you to put in the new (actual) tire size in metric format (ex.305/50-22), once entered the Predator will then display your entry and you confirm it by pressing enter.
You can now press esc to go back to the main modify parameter menu and if no more adjustments are desired press esc again and you will be asked to install modified tune, press yes and let Predator upload new adjusted tune to your vehicle.
To reset the tire size, you can go to reset parameters and then reinstall the tune.
Second Method
Enter the tire size or the overall tire height
The Predator will ask if you want to adjust it via entering the tire size or by the actual tire height.
Tire size, enter the metric tire size displayed on the side wall of the tire (ex.265/75-17) then press enter to confirm.
You can now press esc to go back to the main modify parameter menu and if no more adjustments are desired press esc again and you will be asked to install modified tune, press yes and let Predator upload new adjusted tune to your vehicle.
Tire height, measure the tire height using a tape measure and enter that measurement in the Predator, then press enter to confirm.
You can now press esc to go back to the main modify parameter menu and if no more adjustments are desired press esc again and you will be asked to install modified tune, press yes and let Predator upload new adjusted tune to your vehicle.
To reset the tire size, you can go to reset parameters and then reinstall the tune.


Quick Adjust parameters

Quick adjust parameters do not require a reflash to take effect, they require a key cycle, these parameters are available in a separate "Quick Adjust" menu item as well as in the modify parameters menu.
User will be asked to cycle key after each adjustment.

ESP mode
Enable or disable the ESP (traction control), NOTE: When disabled the ABS, ESP BAS and (Brake) lights will be illuminated and ABS will not be operational
Reset TCM adaptation
Resets the learned TCM adaptation(instead of pulling a fuse).
Shift Points
Raise shift points by a predefined setting, 5.7L's (1-2 5800rpm, 2-3 6000rpm, 3-4 6000rpm), 6.1L's (1-2 6400rpm, 2-3 6400rpm, 3-4 6400rpm).(N/A on Jeep)
Shift Firmness
Reduces torque management between shifts for a firmer shift , N/A on SRT8 vehicles.
Autostick auto upshift
Enable/Disable automatic upshift when in manual autostick mode, ie. raise your rev limits and you can shift manually at any rpm without the vehicle automatically upshifting (as it would do stock).(N/A on Jeep)

Once I you have the tune installed, 87, 91 or 93, are the adjustable parameters changes to that tune or changes from stock baseline?

SO what I am wondering is if I have a tune installed and start playing around with WOT spark or WOT fuel settings am I adding to what the tune has already changed or is it to the stock setting. So if I add + 5% to fueling is it 5% more than stock or 5% more than the current tuning?

Same with throttle responce, if I add 10% is it 10 more than current tune or 10% more than stock.

[mikel]

if adjusting the tune, you are starting where we set it,
if you want to start with stock values, use the modify stock tune option.

Thanks

Police1 Hi just purchased the diablo itune for my g8 gt 2009 was
Wondering, if you could send me the right up on how to adjust the
Parameters like the rev I see it does increments by 50 I had the
Cortex Superchips total diff from your product . I'm using the
91 octane tune with some adjustments to dod, speed limiter ,
Any help appreciated

[vin57]

Hi I was wondering if the tunes that come with the unit are set with stock fan settings or are they set assuming you have a 180 t stat. If they are set at the stock settings, could you tell me what they are, and what you would reccomend adjusting to if you do put a 180 stat in?I have 09 challenger RT. thanks

[mikel]

fans are optimized for the stock t-stat, lower them all by 20* for a 180 T-stat.

Thanks

Mikel, so I have a 2012 jeep srt8 6.4l. I want to know what the best WOT adjustments I can do without harming the engine. The other day I messed with it by bumping all of the parameters up by about 9% lean. Seemed to run well but reading later on the web that I shouldn't mess with the WOT if i don't know what I am doing. Any sugestions?

[garrett]

The tunes should not be adjusted unless you know what you're doing. The tunes are optimized for the most power, if you see an adjustment that needs to be made you can. i would never recommend just adjusting because you have the ability to.

So if I use 87,89 and 91 octane gas on my Dodge Charger 3.6 I can use the 91 Octane Tune, and if I use the 91 or 93 Oct gas I can use The 93 octane (Performance) tune, is that correct?

[Goofy7]

or do I have to use each as occording to the gas put in, like if I use 87 octance gas then I need to use 87 octane tune, or 91 octane gas and need to use 91 octane tune and so forth.

how come my itune i3 dosnt have the spark option or the fuel option

[06MonteSS]

how come my itune i3 dosnt have the spark option or the fuel option

you probably have the inTune i3 8200 version, which is the 50-state (California) version tool... it doesn't have all of the available parameters to adjust like the full inTune i3 8245 Platinum version tool... The 8200 version has less parameters available, less/limited adjustability, etc...
