DiabLew tune...
« on: March 29, 2009, 08:06:09 AM »
Ya I know the name sounds bad but.......


06monteSS (Lew) on the DiabloSport site does custom tuning for guys with Predator programmers.  I'm thinking that I'm going to take the plunge and let him tweak the Buffalo's tune file for me.

He has a lot more experience at tuning than I will ever be able to do right now.

So.......It's sort of like hiring my own DiabloSport professional tuner

Any comments??

yes, you need the power adapter and serial-to-serial cable, or the serial-to-usb cable, and a couple of diablosport apps...

what model and revision is your predator??

when it boots up to the main menu, there is a number at the top of the screen, that's the revision number....

I have the VR7193

 I registered the product when i got it but really didnt look into it as in to learn on how to use it.  The only thing i did was to upload it per instrucions after i installed the blower and removed the "torque management".   I didnt mess with the shifting points or anything.

The only issue i have is,   i installed better servos,shift-kit,seperator plate and now i have a slight delay when shifting to second gear.  Maybe upping the pressure lines fix this? I dont know.

Is the adaptor available for purchase?

maybe a shift time issue instead of pressure

well, if it's a delay in the shifting, it'd be the shift speed you'd need to adjust, not the pressure... the line pressure adjusts how hard it shifts into gear...  the shift speed adjusts how fast/slow it shifts into gear...

as for the power adapter and cable, you can get diablosport's pc interface kit, or can buy the stuff yourself from a radio shack or walmart cheaper....

you'd need to get:

- 12VDC, 1.0A Power Supply, 2.5mm x 5.5mm Plug - center positive

- 9 pin, Male to Female, Straight through Serial Cable Extension  --  IF you have a serial port on your PC... 

if you don't have a serial port on your pc, you'd need to get a serial-to-usb cable...
