Re: Honda Automatic Fast Idle System

Please disregard my previous explanation of the WAX units operation which is posted above. Below is a detailed explanation of how it operates.

The Honda WAX unit found on many of Honda's fuel injected engines is an actuator that opens small air bypass passages that effectively allow extra air to be ...

Honda Automatic Fast Idle System

I'm just wondering if there is any reason the Honda automatic fast idle system would be a problem with tuning MS-II? It uses the coolant temperature and engine vacuum to operate, with an in and out plumbed directly out of the coolant system thermostat housing. As soon as the thermostat opens it ...

Re: EGT Sensor and GPIO + MS-II Question

For anybody else that hits this thread in their searches, an EGT is pretty much an obsolete sensor with the advent of wideband oxygen sensors, with one exception. I found this on Wikipedia...

An exhaust gas temperature gauge (EGT gauge) is an automotive meter used to monitor the exhaust gas ...

Re: EGT Sensor and GPIO + MS-II Question

Thanks Matt,

That's one less thing I need to worry about then. I figured it might have been useful, but I expect only in boost applications, which mine isn't.

Cheers,

Re: EGT Sensor and GPIO + MS-II Question

I should have stated I am about to buy the MS-II, not that I have it, and so it will have the latest code version and version V3.0 board. I just noticed above that this info is a requirement and must be included with such questions.

EGT Sensor and GPIO + MS-II Question

Hey guys, can someone please tell me what I need to add an EGT sensor to my setup? I've search high and low, and maybe I missed something, but I'm confused as to whether I need to only buy the GPIO EGT package to use with the MS-II, or do I have to buy the full GPIO package with an EGT add-on? I ...

Re: Honda Bike TB Question

OK, I ended up going with a CBR600F4i intake as it's got 4 nozzle injectors, and it's off a Honda, which is great because I think it's better to keep it all in the family, rather than putting Suzuki parts on a Honda. The beauty of these TBs is that they were the first generation of TBs to reach the ...
