Tune Boy Maps

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

my tracking says it arrived on US ground today. guess it'll be here by the weekend.
 
received my package today, installed on the laptop and ready to go once my bike has visited the dealer on fri. I do have a question out to tuneboy though, as the tune files show a date of Dec 12, so keen to see if there is a newer ver based upon the more recent ducati map release or not (think there was one early this year).
 
The ECU firmware known as '205' was released in New Zealand around Nov'12 (a little earlier in the states). The current release is 206. See Wayne's comments on 206 in post #158
I understand Wayne will have 206 based firmware/maps available shortly.

This may be a dumb question but since I know nothing about tuning I'm gonna ask it. If I want to roll my own tune is it sit necessary to get the whole wide-band 02 kit or is it just the sensor that and adapter that we need? The wide-band 02 sensor is just 50-60 bucks, but the the lc-1 kit is 160 bucks on amazon?
 
If you're going wide band (which necessary for 'roll your own' tunes, then every wide band sensor I am aware of needs a control unit a la the LC-1. Many are more expensive !
You can use just 1 then move it to the other cylinder but I think you'd quickly burn up the purchase price in extra Dyno time.

What's the control unit for anyways if its gonna be plugged into the tuneboy ultimately ? Thanks

It is the wide band controller rather than the sensor itself that will be plugged into either the TuneBoy interface or the 1199 OEM wiring harness(preferred)

The voltage output by the wide band sensor itself is not linear wrt AFR. The controller's primary purpose is to linearize the output voltage of the sensor so that the output voltage in the range 0-5v is exactly in proportion to the AFR between 10 and 20. As a side effect of that function most decent controllers will offer considerably more functionality such as being able to program an output curve or even simulate a narrow band sensor so that the wide band could be used with stock firmware. (There are some additional considerations to this where the 1199 is concerned)

Here is an output curve typical of a narrow band sensor:

and here's how a wide band curve looks:
