How to setup your dicktator ecu, startup map and timing setup. Step by step to start your tuning.

[@nolanvanwyk7002]

4years later at 2am Thank you so much for this detailed video you are a Legend!.

[@modernkangal]

did you do this with any prior knowledge to tuning? I just wanna install and do the wiring then drive to cape town to do dyno tune. Not sure if it's feasible

[@nolanvanwyk7002]

@@modernkangal I'm still struggling mybru,, I got a honda b20 with golf 3 pin coil and the fuel pump by engine bay deurmekaar with a normal std diktator

@nolanvanwyk7002 awe bra🤣 ek verstaan I went with Sustech, found a guy in cape town who will do the tuning for me for R1800 and fault finding aswell I decided fuck it I'm gonna spend my bonus for installation and everything. 12k

Absolutely brilliant team. Thank you for all the advise.

[@rajeshdookaran7741]

Brilliant guys, you have my support, keep it up

[@modernkangal]

Could you possibly help me setup mine with APG engine? I'm new to the tuning thing. No idea what the values should be

Hi there redline.very informative video im wiring up my dictator myself...i have an Audi v6 12 valve.im just having trouble where to get trigger from speed sensor or crankshaft sensor..or do u have a wire diagram to illustrate

[@dicksonkiyanga2414]

The big questions,which settings are responsible for those awesome exhaust sounds and pops & bangs

[@Mr_R287]

I love what you guys are doing with a mk1 16v build especially in Durban Could you also do a video about all the mods needed for the conversion and what it takes to get to 120kw atw Thanks

[@markredline]

The main part is the cylinder head. Vanderlinde head job cost 25k 5 years ago. Bottom end is stock. No hi compression. Just rally spec cams and extended valves with gasflow and 5 angle valve seats.

[@Mr_R287]

@@markredline Thanks for the reply Does itb make a difference vs stock intake manifold and are you guys going to be making a video breaking down exactly what parts it takes to do the conversion

[@nate.ke7010]

Hey guys. keep up the good work. I find these tutorials way more exciting than just pictures and videos of cars. ist possible to do a tut on the 60-2 setup for a turbo 4cylinder. I'm busy with a 4agte garage built Corolla and on a budget. keep up the good work bud

[@markredline]

Will do just check out the polo build where i am fitting a turbo and i will discuss tuning

[@yazeedadams6935]

Maybe make a vid on how to do an actual road tune ... thanks for the great vid

[@markredline]

Road tuning is the same its just harder to hold the car on the cursor position

[@lesego6650]

Hi mark. Iam driving a mazda 323 astina bp engine 1.8se. I jst installed a std dicktator so iam struggling to set my map, so i followed your video how to set up so it drives well but consuming alot of fuel not burning. Please help or advise 🙏🙏😭😭

[@andrewmaniveld4139]

Thanx for the video. I have a question with regards to the ignition timing set up. Do I 1st set my ign timing to the spec of the engine with the timing light then adjust the trigger angle or ignition map. Confused...

[@markredline]

You have to make sure the timing on the light is the same as on the map. If its 10 degrees on idle and 15 degrees on the light then adjust trigger so both read the same. Then you know what timing is on the map is correct

[@Jaunpierre]

I had my motor rebuild, and i still have the old tune on my std... Do i need to calibrate the tps again?

[@tebogondlovu2800]

Hi I have a vw 2l Agg with a kombi 2.1 petrol pump and I’m struggling with fuel pressure

[@calvinkabelomolobatsi4664]

Where are you guys located I need to bring my car for tunning?

[@getdreaded2245]

Hu what key do you use to change the ram preset

[@athishmanilal5132]

Mark do you now do tunning

[@paulfritz4249]

Did you set the timming down with the timming light

[@markredline]

You check the timing and set it the same as on the computer. Adjust timing until same figures

[@paulfritz4249]

@@markredline thanks you need to do one to show how you do it . On the video you made it looks if you set the timing with the light you did not set the trigger to show the timing is the some or mabe i did not see it. Thanks for all the videos.

Please show us to setup launch control

[@shiraazwilliams9337]

Hi Mark, when I i click to calibrate TPS it's indicates "sensor not in range" what can I do to mitigate this?

[@markredline]

Must be wiring... change the configuration.

Hi I recently bought a golf with a dictator in I ddnt wire it it has alot of stupid shit on nd it has itbs on its a gold 5 2l engine rose flow but it's over fueling it's back firing throw the itbs nd white smoke coming out the exhaust cn u tell me if tht is over fueling or wht

[@markredline]

Check engine health as fuel will make black smoke

[@cardiacs2394]

How do we get the correct commport? Software wont let us do anything until its right

[@markredline]

You select from com 1 ro 10 until you see data flow

[@cardiacs2394]

Cool thank you much appreciated, will give it a try. Once we’re in do you know what we need to change to get spark. We recently rebuilt our motor, only change is we deleted the crank sensor and installed a cam angle sensor. Not getting any spark now, we’re assuming the timing on the pickup is out. Motor is 1.8 AGN fully built, 60-2 dictator

[@nizmongizmo3041]

Where can I set mine in Johannesburg Benoni area

[@shiraazwilliams9337]

Hi there, running with map sensor, will the set up be the same?

[@markredline]

Yes you must just set your map sensor range. If its boosted you would use 3 bar sensor if NA then 1 bar

[@shiraazwilliams9337]

@@markredline my car is running rich, can I correct it via software

[@markredline]

@@shiraazwilliams9337 yes you can with tuning

[@shiraazwilliams9337]

Also when you select the pressure example 1 bar or 3 bar, does the software reduce the rated pressure of pump? Is it similar to controling motor frequentcy on variable speed drives

[@sherwinstarkey7535]

Hi guys with the software automatically pick up the current map that's on the ECU already

[@reincarnated5594]

hi ..why does mine say not connected even though the dicktator is connected and the car is idling?..it already has a running map on

[@henningkock4436]

How do you do it for a distributor and conventional induction timing light?

[@markredline]

It is the same. It is easy with a timing light that you can set degrees. On a normal light u could set timing close to 0 and them work from there

Hi how to make it to use less fuel.?

[@jordachegovender989]

Hi sorry to worry u I am having problems with my 20v rsi silver top when the car is cold it switches off when I put the lights on and sometimes don't idle when cold . I checked the battery is fine and the alternator is charging. Car got no icv Water temperature sensor is fine I jest need to set the fuel compensation on the dicktator management I got the software and laptop and the cable jest need you to show me what to do please

[@markredline]

Dicktator cant run the toyota idle valve... u have to make the timing on the 750 map higher so at coldstart it will lift up the idle a little... maybe 5 degrees more
