Help with Dicktator

[panic-mechanic]

I think he mentioned he is in namibia or somewher so coming to me pretty much wasn't an option. But yes it requires tuning. The ignition map is also really uglly

[VWicked]

I think it was Nelspruit...

I think he stays in Nelspruit, said so in another thread...

[panic-mechanic]

Ok well then he can come visit me

[PeterSusmak]

yeah im in Nelspruit, i definately do need to get it tuned properly, the changes did make the starting a bit quicker, but it still seems to be mildy flooding, as there is still black smoke at start, but very little, much less than before.

I am going to look into coming up to give you a visit Stephan, just need to organise a few things. But where you at?


Isnt there maybe someone closer to Nelspruit that anyone knows that could help me with the tuning?? , as the people i bought the golf from most probably tried tuning it themselves.

[VWicked]

you probably could find someone, but honestly if you can com to jhb you wont regret it.

Panic is in Putfontein Benoni...

[PeterSusmak]

Yeah i would prefer coming up to jhb, but dont really want to drive the car far untuned.

I have heard a lot of good things about Stephan and his knowledge on tuning, but could someone maybe find someone close to Nelspruit that could help me?

I will definately look into coming up so Stephan can help me

Ja look it's difficult if you don't have a wide band Lamda you are pretty mutch running around in the dark. Thats what makes the XMS5 sutch a bloody nice system. If it still looks ritch lean it out a bit more you can't really do any harm if you get it a little lean at that RPM. Higher up the RMP range and under load thats where you can do damage.

What you could also do is pull the dipstick out and smell the oil if it's thinner than normal and smells of fuel you know that it's running rich and in that case I would also rather not drive it up here.

[panic-mechanic]

If it improved things then take out more. The bottom row is really only startup so too lean can do no damage at all as all it will do is struggle to start then so at that stage go richer.
Sorry i don't know anybody in nelspruit that can help you. That does not mean there isn't somebody it's just that i don't know of anybody.

[PeterSusmak]

O ok not thanks Stephan, i will do a bit more leaning out on the 250 Rpm.

Im sure I will just come up to jhb one day so you could do the tuning Stephan, as you do know a lot.

Thanks for everyones help! Much Appreciated

Howzit guys.

Okay so I know this is a vw forum but this is the only forum that dicktator is used so I'm in need of some help. I have a renault megane coupe 2.0 16v with 60-2 management I need a startup map or help on how to create a startup map for the car.
Any help would be appreciated

[panic-mechanic]

Is thre nothing in the unit ie. Are all the values 0 ?

[Mahendra]

[panic-mechanic]

wow. a year later. there is a startup map on the unit - you might have to just tweak it a little. have you still not started it ?

[Mahendra]

I did get it started a few times but it only runs for a day or 2 until I have to remove plugs heat it up regap and reinstall until I get it started again its certainly getting enough of fuel because car is over fuelling spark is there but abit weak coilpack is only 3 months old after putting in a new coil it ran for a week then troubled again. Can you tell if anything is majorly wrong with the map in the pics

[Mahendra]

Also I did try the base map, I did tweak it abit but just the basics such as trigger angle and ignition map between 250-750rpm. With the map that I currently have it (the pics I posted) it almost catches and that's the same one I used when I started the car a few times but with abit of tweaking here and there.

[panic-mechanic]

So take some fuel out. It's obviously overfuelling. Why not just get it tuned properly?

[Mahendra]

I did get it tuned before by a highly rated tuning shop but that's when I started having trouble with the car I bought it like a month before getting it tuned the previous owner said it needs to be tuned but the car ran fine until I got it tuned so I contacted the tuner and he was being really arrogant and denied to retune it so after that I didn't take it back

What can I drop fueling blocks 250-750rpm on the extreme right corner to?

Ok so maybe try somebody else less highly regarded...
Honestly I
A) don'tknow what you know - ie do you understand the nubers in the fuelling map - do you know how to reduce them
b) do you own something like a wideband lambda gauge so you can see what the fuelling is doing.

Without that you are kinda screwed and will have to depend on some sort of place that can help you. Of course no indiscation of location either so can't even begin to give you a reference

I can't answer that. Not being able to see what the fuelling is doing with NO refence data it's not even remotely possible to tell you that.
but you can take it down till it stops running and then add some.
If you want to self tune you better understand what an engine need and have at the very minimum have and air/fuel ratio gauge of some sort.

[Mahendra]

I do know how to reduce them.
I'm located in Durban.

So like lean it out until there's barely enough fuel and then add some?

click on the block you want to tune and press the down arrow on your keyboard. There is a help file on your mangemen disc that shows the basics of that. or you can download it from dictator's website. I kinda think you are a bit out of your depth here. I recon some durban guys would be able to give you a refence of somebody that can help you. Sadly no matter where you go you will have to pay for somthing. No tuner even if he has tuned it before is simply going to retune it for free because of the time passed and if it was not you that owned the car originally.
