Hi,can you please explain the wiring for the vtec solenoid on a b-series motor? As you said in the video, the vtec output from the dicktator box is negative switching so what other inputs are required on a relay to switch on vtec? Battery 12v and ignition or battery 12v and earth?

Hi Tyrone, I run mine like this - battery +12v to relay input (30) - relay output (+12v) to vtec solenoid (87) - relay trigger to (key on) ignition +12v (86) - relay negative (85) to Dicktator output. this way the dicktator negative trigger the relay and send battery 12v to solenoid.

Great question. Answer is "it does not." This ecu uses batch fire, so it fires all 4 injectors at the same time twice per rotation, the dizzy mechanically sends spark to the correct plug. This is a very basic ecu hence why it is $150 compared to a proper ecu that can cost $1000+

@RisingBoostYT2 жыл бұрын
Hi Ish, the relay that comes with the dicktator wiring near where it plugs into the ecu is for the feul pump, it should come on for a few seconds once you key on and then it will come one again if it sees RPM, so when you are cranking the motor. If no feul makes it to the front you may have a blocked feul filter or feul lines.

How did you wire your alternator? from everything ive read the factory honda alternator is controlled by the stock ecu so im not exactly sure how to go about it with a standalone ecu. Ive always just used chipped 0bd1 honda ecu's and tuned with crome but they are getting harder to find now a days. Im thinking about to switching over to dictator as it is cheap and the tuning software seems really simple and easy to use. Messaged them and they can ship to the USA most people over here spend more money on standalone's like Fueltech or Haltech but I don't want to spend over $1000 on a computer to run a d-series engine that is only worth maybe $300 lol.

Hi bud, very good point, I also can not justify a $1000+ ecu to run a single cam, with the alternator my car has a universal Bosch alternator that can work without the ecu signal. But you are correct, stock it does have a ecu wire, I am not sure what will happen if you do not run it. But most people keep the stock ecu in place for some oem functions, my car did not come with a stock ecu. Dicktator is good for the price, but keep in mind it does not have any safety features apart from a Rev limiter, it is batch fire on the injectors. No support, but like you said, the software is super basic, I'm sure any tuner will be able to tune it for you. But you must know how to set up the ignition settings as that can damage the coil and module if the setup is wrong.

Hi Gift, I don't know the BMW engines that well, but the dicktator is a good option because it's cheap to buy, fit and have it tuned. It's very basic but can do the job, choosing the correct one is based on your motors ignition setup, single coil with dizzy takes the "STD" if you have multi coils (2) you can get the wasted spark, if you have 2 or more coils you can use 36-1. Also look at your trigger wheels, if they are already let's say 36-1 it will be easy to use a matching ecu. Download the manual from dicktator and check the diagram at the back that helps you choose the correct ecu.

Hi, on most cars, there will be a separate temp sensor on the intake system, i don't know the punto motor, but i dont believe it will be part of the MAP or throttle body. When it comes to lean or rich, you have to get it dyno tuned so they can set the feul map for you its not so easy to guess. Alternatively if you have a wideband 02 sensor and gauge or you can see the air feul ratio using the oem ecu and sensors you may be able to make adjustments till it's close, but it is probably 40 blocks of values to try and "street tune"

Hi Gábor, yeah probably, the dictator system has very little safety systems, no knock, no boost cut or O2 sensor, basically just a rev limiter. but the good tuners set the map to go very rich if the boost goes higher than what they tuned for so the motor will bog instead of grenading. the "pros" is basically the price and easy to set up/tune, a full dyno tune costs less than $100 on average.
