My buddy bought a used race gas Twisted Turbo M1000 and we are going for its first ride tomorrow. Can anyone tell me how Shain sets up the different modes in the Dobeck box? I want to be able to help him tune it if need be. Just need to know what B/G, Y/B, and R/B do, since every tuner can set them up differently. He might know, but this is his first turbo, so I want to be sure in case he isn't. Thanks.
I built a 09 M1000 Twisted RG turbo in 2009 and if memory serves, green, yellow and red are standard settings. Meaning green deals with idle and just off idle fuel, yellow for off idle to approx. 3/4 throttle, while red is 3/4 to full. The green/blue was used to add fuel under boost, yellow/blue changed the transition from green to yellow mode and the red/blue dealt with the transition from yellow to red. I had three different box settings I used depending on boost and the type of riding I was doing. These were my numbers and may or may not work for you...
USE CAUTION!!
Trail riding into climbing areas and light climbing: Green) 0 or .5, Yellow) 1.5, Red) 0 or 1, Green/blue) 4.5 or 5, Yellow/blue) 5, Red/blue) 7.5,
hard climbing: Green) 3, Yellow) 3, Red) 0 at 9 pounds+ and 2 or 3 at less 8 or 9 pounds, Green/blue) 4.5 to 5.5, Yellow/blue) 5.5, Red/blue) 7.5,
Adding numbers in yellow/blue and red/blue causes the switch point to happen sooner. The lights will light up when you drive, indicating what mod you are in/using.
The reason for the number changes in green and yellow from trail to climbing is because the turbo M1000 runs rich down low off boost and these numbers help clean it up some (I ran 38 to 40 fuel PSI at idle.
DO NOT GO BELOW 38). The bad news is if you climb hard with the green set lean, you can squeak a piston coming back down the hill after a good pull. The motor needs the extra fuel to help cool the pistons, hence the larger numbers in green and yellow.
I found that my sled ran lean on lower boost settings before the green/blue kicked in with the extra fuel, so I added some fuel in the red section. however, when I ran higher boost, over 9 pounds, I did not have that problem so I left red at 0.
Hope this helps. And again, these numbers may not work for you and Shain may have changed what the colors do now compared to the fuel controller in my kit.
