Re: What do I need to buy to tune my worked VN 5L?

It was the right way because the last few fields are just filled with 50 after a certain RPM as the engine would never get that high and they are in the right spot.

Re: What do I need to buy to tune my worked VN 5L?

Getting really weird wideband a/f readings. Just spent about an hour copying the VE table from the bin I found on this site "284crane standard injectors" to my $12p standard tune. The bin I copied it from was the older version so I had to add a few values to smooth out the 3d graph. The on...

16:1 was just an example, At what point would you consider to lean and take the foot off the pedal to avoid engine damage?

Re: What do I need to buy to tune my worked VN 5L?

I had no idea how hot it was getting. Only had the standard gauge to go off. It always used to sit on 1/4 and never any higher so when it started to climb (mainly on a warm day) I used to pull over and let it idle and it would come down again slowly. I have just gone a bought a new clutch fan for it...

Re: My VN Calais 5L

Went for the 284 for that same reason. Was going to drive it a fair bit but now it just sits in the garage. The thought even crossed my mind of putting a 5.7 alloy V8 in it but sorta wanted to keep the engine that came with the car. If I am going to make any big changes to the engine now my best opt...

Re: What do I need to buy to tune my worked VN 5L?

I couldn't say. This problem started happening just on 12 months ago when I upgraded the exhaust so since then I have had it parked in the garage. I only found out about this site just under a month ago so i didnt have anything to log the data with. All I had was the trusty standard temp gauge in th...
