I just added a PCV and it seems to have helped my bike run better after my upgrades but I can't help to think that there could be more to gain.

This is probably a dumb question but can I run a X14ied along with my PCV? do they do different things? And if I can't does anyone have tips for getting the most out of your PCV?

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the PCV programmable? What kind of mod would you be doing that you need an X14ied on top of the PCV???? The X14ied is a substitute for an actual tuning system like the PCV, which by all means should be more than enough for anything but a very highly modified bike.

 

That's what I figured but I had read another post about using the x14ied with a fuel pac so I got curious. Is that any different?

 

It depends on how you are using the PCV.

If you are running the o2 eliminators with your PCV then you can't use the x14ied. The x14ied modifies the o2 sensor signal, if you don't have an o2 senor signal you can't modify it. With the o2 eliminator function in place you have complete control of your AFR at all time because your ECM is always running in open loop where it ignores the o2 sensors.

If you are not running the o2 eliminators with the PC then you do not have control of your AFR while the ECM is in closed loop (o2 sensors cycling). The stock AFR will be defaulted to. Therefore in this case the x14ied would richen your AFR to 14:1 and would be of use.

I believe the fuelpak is not able to control closed loop settings just like the PC without the o2 eliminators. So that is why the Nightrider tech suggested to run the x14ied along with the fuelpak.

 

Thanks fox4, I learn more and more with every post.
