2017 GSX-R1000 S2B: Episode 7 (Part 1) - ECU Flashing (Quick Shifter & Ignition Timing vs. Octane)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Brock covers ECU flashing, one of the most controversial and often misunderstood topics regarding modern sportbikes. What better guinea pig to put through the paces than “Gixzilla”, our ride-by-wire, ultra-consistent, and brutally reliable 2017 GSX-R1000? Per the norm, Brock tries to leave out as much of the technical ‘mumbo-jumbo’ as possible, while still delivering answers on specialized subjects. In addition, he relays experience-driven insight on questions you might not know to ask. Answers to questions like, “Do I need to pay special attention to my chain tension when using my quick shifter/auto-blipper to assure smooth, consistent shifts?” As well as hot-button questions such as, “Can I do a better job adjusting my ignition timing than Suzuki engineers?” These questions, plus more, are covered in Episode 7 (Part 1) - ECU Flashing (Quick Shifter & Ignition Timing). Check it out now.

    I love watching this kinda of stuff Brock. This series has been very informative. I swapped out the air filter from K&N to a Sprint race filter, ordered the Alisyn oil and Petron from you, changed the oil, and my 2017 ZX10RR picked up 5 whp. 194 to 199 and I picked up 3 trq from 83 to 86. Can’t wait for the next episode. 👍🏼

    @Brock - Spot on with the chain tension on this bike. I have the exact same experience. Chain tension not exceeding 1 chain link's height (0.675" to 0.75") usually makes for crisp shifting, including clutch-less downshifting. True that rear suspension travel will be slightly more limited, but that small trade-off on the street is not noticeable. Impressed with the MR-12, wow nice.

    Regarding the proper chain adjustment. This kind if tightness only works fro drag, but if you go road racing, there is a necessary slack in the chain in order for the suspension to work 'fully' otherwise will prevent it to fully 'extend' when necessary - common mistake i many saw encountered with rookies on the race track. Great vid, KUDOS for the work.

  • @BrockDavidson

    @BrockDavidson

    2 жыл бұрын

    How much does suspension function matter when your bike doesn't shift? Additionally, under acceleration - more slack is created in the chain - so suspension function is not affected. Under hard braking, the rear suspension function is not nearly as important as the front...with the exception of wheel hop control, which is managed by the clutch set-up.

    @Brock - Liking the new website. I would recommend however, when a customer is on a full exhaust page, say for instance the Predator Full System for the GSX-R1000 (17-18), add your Brock ECU Flash & Power Commander links just below your links for "Click here to view Installation Instructions" & "Click here to view PAIR Block-Off Instructions." The reason I say that is because it took me a while to realize they're under Engine & Clutch. To the un-initiated they may not know there's a relationship between the two. The reason I found it was because while on the exhaust page, I clicked the "Customers Also Viewed" tab at the bottom of the page. And I was intentionally trying to find these components.

    The only differences between Group 1/2/3 timing maps are below 25% throttle, so they can't be properly measured on the Dyno. Swapping those maps are the flash version of adding a TRE. It makes your ass happy but has no effect on peak power.

  • @BrockDavidson

    Thank's sandyroadking. Suzuki recommends 90 or higher octane for this bike - I guess you could call that premium. I have always felt it was an ass-covering move. I believe you would be more likely to encounter poor quality 'low grade' fuel vs. premium - but the reality is, bikes must run on 87 octane without self-destructing also. Our pump gas of choice at the drag strip is 87 octane, but some folks would swallow their tounge if we ever suggested such madness, so it's a preformance trick we keep for ourselves.

On my 15 R6 track bike it enables me to adjust engine braking, opens throttles fully (stock they don't), disables ais, alter fan temps, quick shift etc etc. A Pcv can't do all of that!

That can't be right? I wouldn't expect to see much more than 32 degrees. And with the current highly efficient induction systems and combustion chambers I would expect less timing than ever.

    Brock, in one of these videos, you commented that bikes with Quick shift / Auto Blip, the chain should have a little less slack than OEM reccomended. Are you referring to bikes with drag set up? Lowered, strapped, links. Or street set up too. I have a 2017 ZX 10RR.. The KQSHIFT, is good but not perfect.. Sometimes it is my technique, or rigging of the levers and adjustments. But i have more slack in the chain at someones recommendation. I believe your research and development has proven to be valuable. I understand Tuning alot more now. MY concern is to allow for suspension travel. I am mostly street / canyon riding...Thanks

    This is for all bikes that depend on an engine kill to cut the engine. Quickshifters/air shifters etc. street/track/drag/LSR/canyons... doesn't matter. The difficult item for some to understand is that MORE slack is created in today's sportbikes (under acceleration) due to the increasingly aggressive swingarm attack angles. This leads to additional slack in the drive chain, which can cause missed shifts. An increase in kill time can help this, but slightly increased chain tension will cure most issues without slowing the shift down.

    There are multiple factors at work. Each cylinder heats/cools at a slightly different rate. Additionally, since this is a dynamic application, flow per cylinder, component stretch/flex at high RPM and a host of other items can cause the pressures in the cylinders to differ. There are also BMEP (Brake mean Effective Pressures) calculations being taken into account to optimize volumetric efficiency.

    Brock, if you do your ignition timing with the Dynojet Ignition Module, you make the changes to the map one time, correct? When I did it for my H2 I don't remember having to do it for each cylinder when using the Dynojet IM vs. Flashing it. So far, I'm really happy with the Dynojet Ignition module but I guess flashing the bike would be cheaper and would save $300. I think that using the I.M. is much faster while at the dyno you can punch in degrees while the bike is still running on the dyno.

    Cool! I will probably follow suit then. I wanted to tune with the IM and once I found settings that work, flash them in the ECU. The nice thing about Ignition Module partnered up with the PCV and map switch is that you can have two different fuel/timing combinations. The way I'm set up now is a pump gas map with stockish timing and a race fuel map with hotter timing. I love what you're doing man. Keep at it!

  • @BrockDavidson

    @BrockDavidson

    6 жыл бұрын

    Be careful with that. Because the IM is a piggyback, it can't measure IT real time. This means it must read the pulse BEFORE it fires, wait and then fire. This means the best IT for each may vary, so assuming the IM rates are correct, and dumping them into the ECU mapping could be problematic.

    Amazing on the timing .. with a car you can gain quite a lot adding timing .. very low compression though.. Chevy LS-1 motors have two detonation sensors.. I would think plus 3 degrees with 93 octane might be good .. Can you wear out an ECM flashing it many times.. You can't advance the timing over stock is the engine already has high compression ..

  • @BrockDavidson

    Modern motorcycles have amazingly efficient combustion chambers - the only time we see the need for more ignition timing is to burn fuel that our engines were not designed for (some race organizations mandate 'sponsored' fuel which is not correct for our applications, etc.) Most modern (normally aspirated) Japanese bikes do not have detonation sensors. This bike has a 13.2-1 compression ratio and is designed to operate on 90 Octane fuel - it revs to a true 14,500 RPM. Car engines are very different in their construction and load requirements.

    I was just thinking about how much advancing the timing on an old small block Chevy engine improved performance and mpg and I recalled a lot of that was to make up for a worn out stretched timing chain .. distributor runs off from the cam shaft .. I built a 488 CI Chevy Truck engine to work hard all day long in the farmers fields to spread lime .. had the pistons valves and combustion chambers Helium coated.. The Helium witch is a lot like sand fell off and scratched the cylinders so badly I burned 7 quarts of oil per day or more I had to grind all the Henium off the valves combustion chamber ect with a while wheel on a bench and hand grinder.. bored out the cylinders to 040 form 020 .. In a car engine cast iron ect and the pistons you can gain by smoothing all the sharp edges polishing combustion chambers from casting flaws that would glow as a hot spot .. there are lots of small things you can do with less refined engines.. The NEW LS engines have timed direct injection so you can't have detention if there is no fuel in the combustion chamber..

    Oil vapor is routed into the airbox in OEM applications - it can be disconnected from the air box, that airbox nipple plugged and the crankcase VENTALATED to the atmosphere, typically through a crank vent filter. This mod can cause the bike to have an oily smell, produce white smoke, dump oil in front of the rear wheel in certain instances (over full on oil, missed shifts etc.) and can hamper horsepower. Ours is stock.

    In some instances, it can help a bit. Since oxygenated fuels contain O2, they tend to function somewhat like Nitrous oxide injection and increase the burn rate - reducing ignition timing can help prevent detonation as well decrease cylinder pressure at high RPM's, which can increase MPH.

    @Moto Shark, the first thing to check would be your antifreeze type, level etc... if it's ok, did you change anything else at the same time as your flash (gearing, etc...)? If not, it would be very strange for a tuner to mess up a flash to the point of a 30 degree temp difference in apples to apples conditions...but it can happen. An excessively lean tune, or incorrect ignition timing could be the culprit. Additionally, and we have seen this many times...the tuner will accidently botch the mapping in a single cylinder. Example, we had a trouble H2 that had 60 degrees ignition timing at WOT in only one cylinder?! The bike comes with around 20 degrees from the factory. The only thing that saved the engine is that the bike sounded so terrible on the initial ride...the owner limped it home. The old tuner was fired and replaced by a much more competent tuner. Contact your tuner and let him know what's going on - hopefully he will stand behind his work and get you sorted.
