carrat

Thank you guys! Will sever contacts, check everything and try to connect again. Fingers crossed:)

Hi everybody. Finally I synrconized my carbs and good news are that all four cylinders work! But I still have doubt if I made it correctly. All needles show the same position but is this position correct? Don’t' have any idea. May be you guys can help with it? (video attached) Ignitech TCI. Gary, I connected 1 Bar MAP sensor as was recommended but it seems to me that it does not work. Is it a program or sensor fault? Please take a look at video. Any suggestions? Thanks!

In this case my boost operates. When I turned on it cycled butterflies to open and closed position. Of course, there will be further adjustments. The MAP sensor p/n is 00000-00-0261230-037 Bosch. First time i thought that I will leave both sensors (original and Bosch) in parralel lines because when I started the engine with original MAP sensor the program showed advance for all four cylinders (so I think it used original MAP sensor) but it did not show TPS position. So I will connect Bosh MAP sensor to all four vacuum lines and swich it into the TCI. Just interested how it will work))) The oil is Motul, it was tested by my friends during several races and they recommended it for heavy duty usage. Yes, there are lot of mods on this bike, it became almost new))) I will show when finish the last ones)))

Thanks for this link Gary. Will try to upload now. Looks like my Ignitech wiring is similar to what you have. Have a lot of work this week so will be in garage only on Saturday and will make a photos of mine. I didn't try to check how boost operates, my aim for this time was just to make engine running. Bosch MAP sensor operates up to 5 volt and has 3 pins, I know it from the manager in the shop who sells spare parts for light tracks. If this info is not correct - I will stay with original MAP sensor. Will see. There are two photos of boost controller which are not mine, I took them from Ebay just to show 5 pin connector. The rest is what I did yesterday and day before) Andrew

Hi All I am really glad to become a member of this forum and do hope that my participation will give an additional info to anybody who need it. Sorry, my English is quite poor so might be difficult in understanding. This bike is a long lasting project and hopefully I am at the final stage. Two days ago I took front and rear cylinder head covers off and checked the camshaft positions. Everything was perfect so I assembled all parts back. When I checked pick-up coils the data of each of them was different, just one showed 117 ohm, other two were far above, about 185-230 ohms and the last one seemed to be dead or there was a broken wire. Ohmmeter showed nothing. Special thanks to Gary again))) He wrote me an e-mail and pointed my attention to the fact that some Venture manuals had the common wire incorrectly shown. He wrote: “The common is the Black wire. It is the pin that is on the side that has the blank pin. There a 5 wires in this connector. Make sure you are checking the Male side of plug. That is one with the pins in it. Check with an OHM meter from the black wire to each of the 4 other pins.” If I read this a day before!!!! At this time I had a generator cower taken out and pick up coils passed all possible examinations. The problem is that VMax manual also has the common wire shown incorrectly as orange. When I checked pick ups in correct way they showed exact 117-125 ohms which is acceptable. Yesterday I started engine again, now with settings of Gary loaded to the Ignitech TCI and thanks God all four cylinders were running! What is interesting – I didn’t get front pipes red as it was with original TCI before. All four pipes were about the same temperature. So I hope that carbs adjustment will improve the situation completely. Now about the MAP sensor which will be used in place of the TPS. I bought a Bosch 1 Bar sensor (3 pins) and will use it. The only thing I don’t understand is how it should work. According the information provided by Ignitech it should work for detailed advance map. I am not familiar with electricity so may be someone can advise on this point. Bike already has a MAP sensor which is connected to TCI and should work for ignition advance. Ignitech wiring was adapted to original harness and when engine worked the program showed advance for all four cylinders per each cylinder. The question is – what will be an input from TPS/MAP connected in parallel to Ignitech TCI? The second question is: my Max already has a v-boost installed and as I understood it operates using a controller which reacts on data coming from original TCI. It starts to open the butterfly valve at 6000 RPM. I installed a t-boost modification which allows me to use boost at 3000, 6000 RPM or switch it off. V-boost servomotor resistance is 5,25 to 9,75 K-ohms. It has 5 pins +main connector, so I assume that there could be 5 positions of butterfly valve from “closed” to “open” position. Ignitech states that their TCI can operate Servo. Surely they have 10 positions of voltage depending on RPM but the problem occurs: there are only 5 possible positions of v-boost’s butterfly valve. May be it is reasonable to keep v-boost in parallel with its own controller? Any suggestions? Thanks, Andrew UPD. I still don't know how to insert photos... Sorry

Hi guys! I just want to say great thanks to you all and to Gary especially. You made great job taking all these things together! I also purchased Ignitech device and do hope it will be implanted into my max very soon. Gary, this update with Ignitech respond is essential for me because I will now try to adopt my boost servo to this option in the TCIP4. I have full versoin, so it should work. The only problem i that my max is of 1988 and these settings are for new max. That's a challenge for me to change something in the file provided so I just wrote to Jan and asked him to adopt these settings for my old bike. Will see what we receive. Any case I think that this thread is a real treaure for those who want to get maksimum performance with their bikes. Go ahead folks, this is a real University for me and I am very pleased to be in one boat with you!)))) Regards, Andrew
