How to Calibrate your AFR Wideband in API Tech ECU

Another Feature in API Tech ECU is the capability to catch the data from External Wideband Sensor. This is one of the best features for API Tech ECU. This function will give the tuner an easy tuning process. In API Tech ECU, there is a socket included with a green wire. This green wire is the 0-5v input for the external wideband sensors. Any wideband sensor is welcome to connect with this input. As long as the wideband sensor have also 0-5v output for the AFR.

In this article, I will give an example of the AEM X Series Wideband sensor calibration with API Tech ECU. AEM X series is very well known now in the FI tuning industry. There are a lot of demand now about this sensor. It is because it just works. Very accurate and Very good quality.

For quick googling… I found the PDF file for the manual of AEM X series. Click this to download the manual. On this manual, you will see the instructions on what color of the wire you should connect to our 0-5v input in API Tech ECU. According to the manual. Two wires for the output.

1. Brown Wire (0-5V Analog Output Negative)
2. White wire (0-5V Analog Output Positive+

So the brown wire should also be connected to black wire or to the negative battery. The white wire will be connected to the green wire of API Tech ECU. After that all good to go.

Trim Parameter AFR Calibration

To calibrate. You will need to go to the [TRIM] parameter tab, Below there an area for WB-AFR. So at first, it’s blank. Looks like this.

we need to input the details from your manual. If you look at your manual for AEM X series, you can see 0-5V Analog Output Scaling Table.

– For the volts. We going to input the first value which is 0.5 to API Tech software. And then we also input the last value of the volts which is 4.5
– For the AFR. We going to input the first value which is 8.5. And then we also input the last value of the afr which is 18
Looks like this

Now, the last step is to highlight each from left to right. And Right click Interpolate.

After clicking the Interpolate for both tables. You will see the number is automatically interpolated between the first value and last value.

This is done… You should see your AFR between AEM gauge and the API tech software synchronized. Both should be almost the same as 0.1 – 0.2 difference… But if you having issues like its not almost the same, You can change the calibration above. You can change the first value of voltage and interpolate again to match the afr from the AEM gauge.

PRESS ENTER

Many tuners always forgot this. You need to press enter so that the changes will send to the API Tech ECU.

Good luck. Happy tuning…

How to become Dealer in API Tech PH

Dealership

In API Tech PH we make sure that all dealers/tuners can sell and tune API Tech ecu. That’s why It strictly required these tools:

1. AEM X Series Wideband Sensor

Usually, Yamaha connector is the white 3 pins socket. That connector can be found very near on the battery of your motorcycle. Some old Yamaha motorcycle is using just single white wire such as TFX, R15 version 2 and Mxi.

How to use Smart Garage Diagnostic Tools

Not all problems in FI showing you an error code. So I am going to explain how to use a smart garage without the error code. We use the view parameter to analyze what’s happening to the motorcycle or what clue we can have to find the problems. Every problem has a CLUE. I am sure of that. We FITech Davao have experienced a lot of things like this. The View Parameter Really helps us to identify the problems. Please watch the video below and learn.

How to tune APITech Ecu Step by Step with Video

APITech ECU is now distributing in the Philippines by API Tech PH and a-lot of future tuners are interested. Existing tuners also want to know how to properly tune API tech ecu. In this article, I am going to help you install and tune API tech ecu.

But before we tune we should have these tools to tune API tech ecu.
1. AEM X series Wideband Sensor
2. API Tech Data Cable
3. Your laptop at least i3 and 4gb memory up

If you’re going to ask where to buy. Please go to Facebook Api tech PH

Step 1: Install API Tech Software 9.1.1

So first Download the software. Please install the software and also the windows driver.

NOTE: IF your ECU is not 9.1.1 then this is a different method… I will create a separate article for that.

Step 2: TPS calibration

You will now need the API Tech data cable. Insert into the USB slot of your laptop. Connect the other end to your API Tech ECU. Turn ignition of your motorcycle (Engine is off). You should see a green bar saying “communication is connected”.

After that’s the time you can go to FILE -> Read ALL data

You should see files being copied from the ECU going to your laptop. You have to wait for that to finish it.

Now for TPS calibration. You will go to [TRIM] parameter. Under that, you will see Voltage Input Setup. Click that and Calibrate your minimum and maximum TPS value.

Step 3: Tuning MAP vs RPM table

This is the heart of API Tech Tuning. The MAP tuning or also called Manifold Absolute pressure tuning. In all Racing ECU in the Philippines within the price range of apitech. Only APITECH ECU having this best feature…

This video process is very long. This requires focus on the afr on the table. We also do the street tuning using datalogger. Datalogger will help us tune the MAP table very easy… So please focus on watching the vide.

Please Watch the FULL Video. And also

Remember: to BOOKMARK this page so that you can go back anytime

After the MAP tuning, you should able to see something like this.

On this table, You will notice the blue color numbers. Those are the AFR (Air Fuel Ratio). The black numbers are the fuel injection. The picture above is the result of the MAP tuning you did. This requires practice… and just keep practicing. We need to practice this process so that we can eliminate the tuning time. Usually, it takes to 2-3 hrs for tuning but I could be less it depends on the scenario.

Step 3: Cold start and Warming UP Tuning

After you finished the MAP tuning. You should have considered the current afr of the engine when it’s cold. So maybe from 25 ECT to 65 ECT. You will need to wait and let the engine lower the temperature itself so that you can tune specifically in that area.

In Apitech ECU tuning, We are using the Enrichment Correction table. On this table, you will see the ECT from left to right and also the same time the IGN, Injection, or idle control. This table you can program based on the current state of the engine.

Now you can watch this video for Enrichment correction Tuning

Finished Basic Tuning

That’s all for now… We recommend practicing this basic tuning first before we proceed on more advancing tuning. We all started in a single step… So our focus is to help people that really interested in tuning apitech ecu. We going to keep practicing the basic tuning of apitech ecu. This process already a huge improvement to your engine. For 2 years of tuning apitech ecu the same process.
