from my seat Posted September 1, 2011 #26 Posted September 1, 2011 Wow, thats alot of info for my limited understanding. I was hoping you would say something like it will run like a scalded dog or increased fuel mpg. Thanks for taking the time with the details. Looks like I need to start saving my pennies
dingy Posted September 1, 2011 Author #27 Posted September 1, 2011 I was hoping you would say something like it will run like a scalded dog or increased fuel mpg. Hopefully both, you have seen my scooter, if it will make it quicker, I'll try it. Gary
dingy Posted September 6, 2011 Author #28 Posted September 6, 2011 TCI's were shipped out today to everyone that has paid me for a unit. I still have one unspoken for unit. Gary
tcoop Posted September 8, 2011 #29 Posted September 8, 2011 I came home for lunch and found a shiney box on my door step ( OK not really shiney but I didn't care). Opened it up and pulled out my new Ignitech TCI. Took it straight out to the bike and 20 min later the bike fired right up. No more riding everyone elses bikes! (My son and wife wanted their bikes back). Thanks to Gary for all he did to get this group buy done.
CrazyHorse Posted September 8, 2011 #30 Posted September 8, 2011 Got mine, Thanks. One question, what is that vacuum set up you have Gary? With the big vacuum chamber and multiple lines to the ports.
dingy Posted September 8, 2011 Author #31 Posted September 8, 2011 It's a way of smoothing the pulsing out that is induced on the vacuum line due to the piston cycling up and down. By tying all 4 cylinders together using a 5 port Dorman adapter, the pulses in effect somewhat cancel each other out. Then with the small storage container, they are further smoothed. The chamber is a couple of pvc caps and a very short piece of 1 1/2" pvc, just long enough to join caps. I took a vacuum tee and cut it down, then used JB weld to attach the vacuum nipples to one drilled cap. One vacuum hose runs from each port on the intake manifolds to the Dorman adapter & the 5th port then goes to the vacuum chamber, then to the MAP sensor. I haven't had the 5 hose connection on this summer for the limited amount of riding I have done. It was part of my experimentation with the TCI. I will probably put it back in at some point. I have had the vacuum chamber in. It is not necessary at all. The stock TCI was subject to identical pulsing and never had this. It's just one of those hidden anomalies that become apparent when you are able to see what some of the data is with this TCI. Gary
mlew Posted September 8, 2011 #32 Posted September 8, 2011 Got mine today and did a quick installation to give it a test ride. WOW what a big difference, this TCI is awsome. Thanks for the hard work Gary. I may have to get one for my V-Max now.

Thanks for the hard work Gary. I may have to get one for my V-Max now. The one you now have will hook right up to your VMax. Adapter cable is identical between the two bikes. The TCI programming is somewhat 'hotter' for what I sent with the VMax units. The IGN file is on the CD that I sent along for the VMax. Its in the IGN files/4 pick up coils directory What is programmed in TCI now will run the Max, just not to its full potential, for one, rev limiter is set lower than Max would like, timing curve is not advanced as far.

icebrrg3rd Posted October 28, 2011 #34 Posted October 28, 2011 I know that there might not be another group buy, but if I do purchase one separately, could I get the proper map info from you? I had wanted to get one in the group buy, but since my money tree died a long time ago, I didn't have the spare $$ for it at the time (I do now tho). Currently trying to get mine running properly just in time to winterize it... -Andrew

quant55 Posted December 12, 2011 #37 Posted December 12, 2011 Gary, Is this still open? I need a running CDI for my VR89. This Ignitech CDI is a solution? Could you help with all this stuff to get my bike running again? Regards, Corneliu
dingy Posted December 12, 2011 Author #38 Posted December 12, 2011 I do not have any of the TCIP4 units left, I have an extra Racer 3 that I am going to experiment with on my bike at some point. It is a higher end TCI. After Christmas I will see if there is enough interest to do this again, I have had several inquires in the last few weeks. Gary

Gary Hmm, let's see, as I'm in Europe, I can order from Ignitech directly the TCIP4 unit, but there are other things I noticed you do, like adding the vaccum sensor and remapping the ingnitor Could you help with the vacuum sensor and other ?
dingy Posted December 13, 2011 Author #40 Posted December 13, 2011 The sensors were ordered from China, to just get one would be very costly due to shipping. I will give you any programs or technical stuff I have. Gary
quant55 Posted December 13, 2011 #41 Posted December 13, 2011 why can't be used the existing vacuum sensor? the voltage range is not appropriate? or why?
dingy Posted December 13, 2011 Author #42 Posted December 13, 2011 why can't be used the existing vacuum sensor? the voltage range is not appropriate? or why? It can be used. Reason it is not is that it is a 12v powered device and there was concern if sensor failed and passed 12 v into TCI that was set up for 5v, it might cause a failure of TCI. Output of stock sensor is in safe range of 1-4V, approximate. Gary

Gary Gary, So far so good. I just installed today the Ignitech black box and as expected the engine started. I even connected the stock MAP sensor to the TPS input and also it looks to work fine. The MAP I used was the one they provided me for V-Max with some minor adjustmens of the advance at low RPM. I did not had the chance today for a ride to fully test the bike. Could you please point me to the lastest MAP you have tested? I'd like to compare it with my MAP and also with Yamaha's advance curve. Regards, Corneliu

t-mic Posted October 19, 2012 #47 Posted October 19, 2012 gary my name is mike im a new venture rider and mine came with a bad tci....after buyin one off e-bay that didnt work i came across youre blog i am interested in buyin one of the ignitech ones from you if you have any please e-mail me with some info on wat i need to do to get one thanx
jdog910 Posted October 25, 2012 #48 Posted October 25, 2012 hey guys i ordered one from ignitech and all the slots are used on the big connector, i have seen previous posts where they dont use the last 2 for the vacume sensor, did they send me the wrong one? also, I cut off my old plug to hardwire it to my old cdi can anyone please post a pic of the conection between the wiring harness and the ignitech box? i just dont want to get it backwards. thanks in advance i know someone will help me out here!
dingy Posted October 25, 2012 Author #49 Posted October 25, 2012 That is a harness set up to use the Ventures existing vacuum sensor. Ignitech started doing this when the V88 unit with IAP setting was released. Gary
jdog910 Posted October 25, 2012 #50 Posted October 25, 2012 oh, so i dont have to buy a map sensor now? did you guys make a MAP program for this set up? I still need a pic if you have it. thanks!
