Hey Everyone - DynoJet has the new Power Commander V out. Currently it is only available for HDs however I'm sure other makes and models will follow soon.
The new PC5 looks to be a big improvement over the PC3 which is a nice piece of hardware to begin with.
Power Commander V for Harley Davidson Motorcycles, Fuel Tuning Device
Here's the key features. Bottomline, even more adjustability and finer levels of tuning. They are also offering an "auto tune" module.
- Fuel and Timing control
- Rev Xtend
- “Warm Up” fuel adjustment (unit reads engine temp and allows fuel/timing adjustments based on it). Previously the PCIIIusb allowed you to add extra fuel during startup based on “number of revolutions” of the engine. Now, the PCV can read the exact engine temperature through the bike’s own ECM which allows the tuner to choose how much fuel to add for a given engine temp. Cold starting on heavily modified engines should now be much more controllable and easy to adjust.
- Software displays J1850 data from bikes’ stock ECU (this is data such as temp, fuel pulse width, timing advance, spark knock, etc.)
- Reduced size (less than half of the size of PCIII). Installing the unit is now much easier.
- USB powered from computer (9 volt adapter is no longer needed for programming)
- 2 position map switching function built in (map switch not included). You can add any SPST switch (this is a simple open/closed style switch) and toggle between two different fuel/timing maps. One could be for power and the other fuel economy. You might also have a high octane and low octane map (with different ignition timing settings).
- Gear/Speed input (allows for map adjustment based on gear)
- Analog input (allows user to install any 0-5 volt sensor and build an adjustment table based on its input such as boost or temperature)
- With gear position input connected the PCV is capable of allowing each cylinder to be mapped individually and for each gear. You could have both the front and rear cylinder mapped separately and also change each of those maps for each gear you are in (if required). This would allow richer maps in lower gears for more power and leaner maps in the upper gears for better highway fuel economy.
- 10 throttle position columns (up from 9 on PCIIIusb). More tuning ranges than PCIIIusb.
- Enhanced “accel pump” utility (increased adjustment and sensitivity ranges)
