An O2 sensor to give the computer feed back on the air to fuel ratio so it can optimize its self.

Two weeks is the projected delivery date. They just got a 700XX there this past Tuesday. I have feelers out to both Fuelmoto and Dynojet for perspective pricing on both the PCV with and without autotune.

As soon as I hear anything look for a for sale thread with my PCIII.

That was my TRX700XX. I took it out this weekend. I love it. I had the Power Commander V installed and they have the map available for download. It don't come with a O2 sensor, that is part of the Auto Tune witch is plug and play once you weld the adapter on the pipe.

What about a standard 02 sensor? Why do you have to pay $300 smackers for one? Where does the 02 sensor plug into the PCV? Is the auto tune additional software or component? Why not try to bypass? Special plug? I am sure we could easily fab something up... just depends on the software I guess.

Dusty gave me a Bung. The O2 sensor plugs into the Auto Tune, Auto Tune plugs into PCV. There are a few optional add ons for the PCV. Quick Shift, LCD Unit, Map Select Switch, There is also a speed/gear input and an analog input.

Yes, actually they should. If anything PCV is supposed to make the combustion process more efficient (correct stoichiometric ratio). A stock raptor makes 39-41 hp at the tires, I can't see these makeing less than a stock raptor with the B3 and the new programmer.

Something's not right.

vfm2010
04-02-2009, 01:30 PM
I cant see the charts, cause the Government blocks access to photobucket/utube and such. But if this chart shows the difference before and after optimization on the dyno, 2hp is not bad for just changing the map. If there is no baseline dyno run in stock trim( stock exhaust, no PCV) for comparison, then it's going to be difficult to guage any improvements. Every machine and dyno will vary so its important to establish a baseline of the same machine on the same dyno.

I agree and the PCV with autotune would eliminate the need to adjust your map manually as you add mods.

smo0oth1
04-02-2009, 01:50 PM
Correct, I just got off the phone with them and they said you do not have to add a map initially but is better if you do. They are not available for sale either... bummer cause I will have to make a purchase here shortly to get mine going

Also I hope that this is a fully operating ECU and not some module that only averages variances.

Depends on budget, I suggest the velocity though.

Concerning filters, here's what I've found in my quest for the best...

I ride with ppl who have both foam and paper (k and n velocity etc). I don't know if one flows more cfm or not but they all seem very competitive with each other.

Originally I ordered the k and n modquad setup, but that was preemptive. The more I talked to ppl the more I realized paper filters are higher maintenance, like a ferrari I guess, ppl I ride with don't mind cleanin their filters after every ride so the paper works great for them. The foam seems to go longer without cleaning (although everyone says clean it everytime).

However, I'm lazy so I went foam just for peace of mind I don't have to worry after every ride. Even tho some say I should, I won't.

So while budget matters, so does ur level of effort. I think they are all close enough in performance to get whatever u want foam or paper and be happy. I have a k and n on my 450r and didn't clean it every time and when I hold it next to buddys who did clean his everytime, u can tell he did and I didn't (this comparison being done after riding and cleaning) mine looks like toast to his whether we just finished a ride or just cleaned.

So there's my IMO. I'm foam on the XX!

Yes but you have to look at the 4hp power from 3grand up. then at 5grand there is 6 more HP, The peak power holds in allot longer also. You can see in the stock setup it spikes and falls. With your dyno it spikes and holds for a bit. Peak HP does not mean a faster/better quad.

If you look at Waynes dyno you see his isn't crazy numbers either but the "powerband" is very wide.

OzLinc
04-14-2009, 12:56 AM
I'm with smooth here.......I'm pretty sure it doesn't make the system a closed loop setup. A base map is all thats needed.

I think you use this system by setting the PCV in setup mode and telling it what A/F you want and any given revs and it sets the fuel map up for you and then runs that map; but that map is set, it doesn't constantly check A/F and update forever in a kind of oversampleing fashion like a true closed loop system does.

As someone else mentioned you can share arround the Oxy sensor so it must be able to be setup and taken back off.

Thats my point as stated above; by what Dynojet are saying and from what I can get out of the limited info they supply, it must just make a map for you but not constantly optimise that tune.

Be good to find out for sure.......someone will work it out soon.

I dont see an update anywhere but here is what I know:
The PC5 itself costs the same as the PC3.
The autotune kit comes with O2 sensor, AT module and a bung.
It is recommended that you load a base map on the PC5 so that the autotune is much faster.
It is not running on a loop so it is no use to have it on the quad at all times, just set it up, autotune and remove. This will also help with the O2 sensor durability. Nice thing is you only put it on when you do a new mod.

According to the PC website, the PCV only "Works with 2009 or newer Motorcycles, ATVs and Other Quads". I double checked by selecting the 2008 TRX700XX in the dropdown menu, and the only option to buy is the PCIII. Once I changed the year to 2009, the PCV was available as was the Autotune.

I won't bother with the PC5 until I get into the motor. There cannot be a worth while gain over the PC3 to justify me spending more money on another programmer. If I didn't already have one, then by all means I'd buy a PC5.

I just installed my PCV on my 2008 700xx and it works great. It is only $20 more for the PCV -vs- the PCIII. The size and upgrade options is well worth the $20. I am currently running the FMF slip on with stock filter program that PC has on the sight and the XX runs perfectly with my Yosh pipe. I will be putting a UNI filter on and running with the lid off for track riding and I will upload the PC program for that. I am thinking about getting the handle bar program switch so I can switch between these two programs on the fly.

I got the PCV for $291 total including shipping

I will install it tonight and take it to DynoJet tomorrow. I will post results as soon as I can. We are going out of town for the long weekend so if I don't post tomorrow night I will for sure on Tuesday.

I think it is well worth it to buy the PC5 over the PC3 if you dont have a fuel controller yet. I would however sell my PC3 and buy the PC5 if I have no dyno close by as this would be as close as I could get to a perfect tune without the dyno. The PC5 and PC3 cost the same though. Posterboy is correct, it works on the 2008 as there are no changes. The same happened with the Raptor 700 the website says it is for 2009 Raptors but you can use it on 2006 to 2008 as well. Dynojet has only tested the PC5 on the 2009 models so that is why they say in their site that it is compatible with 2009 (covering their a$$ for untested models).

I think a lot of questions here could/would be answered if you went to raptorsource.com and looked up the powercommander V their. I know everyone is a die hard 700xx fan, but the Powercommander V has been out for the raptor for a bit now. I actually have one on my 2008 Raptor 700.

The standard Powercommander V operates just like the PCIII. When you purchase the autotune portion, it includes the O2 sensor, another piece of hardware, bung and all the wiring. You have to drill a hole in your exhaust header about 6-9 inches back from the mount and weld on the bung. You should load a base map that gets the PCV as close to the mods you have on your quad. The autotune the fine adjusts the PCV the rest of the way and adjusts for other conditions. The autotune does remain attached and the O2 sensor does stay in for the life of the system. This is so the PCV can constantly update the map on those other conditions.

I got it from the Fuel Moto. Excellent service. They even preloaded the setting for me and very fast shipping.

No worries, it's just a minor detail.
