Ezlynk with ******* Tuning

jcain · Jul 19, 2016

Loaded the Warhammer X sotf into the ezlynk tonight.

So far, driving around town it's been flawless. No smoke, nice firm shifts and always ready to get flogged.

I've done a few WOT pulls at each power level and it's very strong. I need to let it learn the trans a little bit more.

I'll be hooking up the 15,000lb 5th wheel soon.

I'll use this thread to update as I get to try all aspects of it.

I'll do ezlynk sotf testing then try the SOTF knob of Spartas.

Sounds awesome...time will tell but starting to think I made the right move not pulling the trigger on the Ngauge.

Same tunes just a matter of how you want them delivered and how you want to monitor

A video to show smoke output, same conditions, zero smoke...

I've just switched over to the hard switch sotf offered by spartin and have started testing with it. So far, it's a superior option, in my opinion, vs sotf via the ezlynk.

Could you explain why that is? Aren't they the same tunes other than 5 offered via hard switch and 4 via Ezlynk?

Spartin can indulge further, but the ezlynk is limited in what tables it can/does alter during sotf.

ez lynk uses PW for the switch ( as far as i was told at least , similar to the minimaxx ) , s p a r t a n uses tq management ( i'm pretty sure thats the table ) so the tune and trans changes much more significantly with the switch .

Would there be an option for on screen tuning adjustment or is that only with the nguage or ndash?

OST would be for nDash/nGauge only

Very cool! Looks like you had a good copilot for the testing.

So you can use the sotf knob with an ezlynk?

jcain · Jul 22, 2016

Unhooked the 5th wheel and bumped the ezlynk over to "race" and made an off idle WOT pull to 85

Yes, and no. The sotf on the ezlynk is rendered useless while you are using the spartin knob.

I believe ******* is changing accelerator to torque on the fly. Which is brilliant.

The PW OTF scheme was developed by Bully Dog back in the mid 2000's. And on a truck with a manual trans or a dumb transmission? You can pretty much do what you want with duration.

But when you start getting into advanced transmission controls, engine and trans tunes need to mesh or it's just "not right"

Part of why I never use OTF other than for dialing in a duration map. I'll only ever change the very top of the map (which is SOP if you want the trans to shift right anywhere other than WOT.

Long story short: *******'s got that good good IMO
