Dynojet Power Commander V coming for 2009

[Cajun]

DynoJet has come out with a new version of their Power Commander fuel injection computer, the Power Commander V. The new unit is smaller than the prior models, and more importantly it boasts some impressive features. The Power Commander V will only be available for 2009 model year motorcycles, so you’re pretty much out of luck if you actually own a bike right now, but if you’re in the market click to read all of the juicy details. Oh, did I mention this will be an auto-tuning device that dynamically changes your fuel based on sensors throughout the bike? Yeah, now you want to click for more.



The Power Commander V interfaces with a variety of DynoJet products and thus becomes the hub for information ranging from O2 sensors, gear and throttle readings, quick-shifter, map selection toggles, and a weather-proof LCD screen. From the wide-band O2 sensors comes the auto-tune feature. The PCV gathers real-time data from the sensors, and adjusts your air/fuel mixture to compensate for an optimum burn. There go custom maps.

Basic Features:

* Reduced size from PCIIIusb (less than half of the size of PCIII)
* USB powered from computer (9 volt adapter is no longer needed for programming)
* 2 position map switching function built in (map switch not included)
* Gear/Speed input (allows for map adjustment based on gear and speed)
* 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 (for example: on a 4 cylinder bike with a six speed transmission there could be up to 24 separate fuel tables).
* Unit has a -100/+250% fuel change range (up from -100/+100%). This allows more adjustment range for 8 injector sportbikes
* 10 throttle position columns (up from 9 on PCIIIusb)
* Enhanced “accel pump” utility (increased adjustment and sensitivity ranges)

Auto Tune Specifications:

* “Auto Tune” kit will be available that includes Wide Band O2 sensor(s) and control box(es). It will plug directly into the PCV and allow automatic fuel adjustments.
* It can make a map for each gear and on a Harley Davidson models it can map each cylinder separately for each gear if needed. (basic settings would make one map for all gears)
* Each map cell is individually adjustable so you can specify an exact AFR value for each area if needed.

Harley-Davidson Special Specifications:

* Fuel and Timing control
* Rev Xtend
* “Warm Up” fuel adjustment (unit reads engine temp and allows fuel/timing adjustments based on it)
* Software will display J1850 data from bikes’ stock ECU (this is data such as temp, fuel pulse width, timing advance, spark knock, etc.)

Its good dynojet has finally updated there pc3, there were starting to lag behind the likes of bazz and like, in there auto learn, and different maping for different gears

Sounds awesome!

It's kinda dumb that they're limiting themselves to 2009+ bike models - with the O2 sensors, it should work with any injected bikes.

Well yes and no, except for the self tune, there aren't really any new features... or rather, for pre 09 bikes, you can get a PCIII that does all of that (except the self tune).

Well, you can buy the Wide Commander and other gubbins to work out the tuning in pretty much the same way. It's big money though. Cheaper to get a custom map done, I guess.

It's all dirt cheap in the states... I have a PCIII, WBC, hub, LCD screen, gear/speed/position sensors and map selection switch on my bike... cost less in CA than buying just the screen alone here.

It's a pity TuneBoy don't cater for Japanese bikes. Probably cheaper, does more and doesn't have to be installed on the bike!

alot of it depends on the ecu, suzukis reprogrammable by the yoshi box(very limited range) & teka tune, aprilia can get updated maps uploaded to the ecu, i think ducati are simlar.

the reason people use pc3 is due to very easy to modify, and monkey with a laptop can do it, and do it quickly

That makes sense and yes, the TuneBoy can be complicated for a monkey!
Certain thing's this monkey leaves for the experts.

My son has 1 yr old litre sports bike, spent $$$$$$ on exhaust, power commander, tuning etc, he ended up ripping everything off except the exhaust,his last comment to me about it was "the tuning from factory is fine for the road"

Thats an excellent step fwd basically a closed loop system that will adjust itself for different track conditions and temps if it works...

Cajun just volunteered himself to help tune the new 600... Cheers!
