Current RPM Range

The fuel maps are sorted in RPM ranges. So in actual

fact there is 32 Load sites every RPM range. On a 4
cylinder vehicle the maps are tunable on every
500rpm. To move to the next RPM range press the
Page UP key. To move to the previous RPM range
press the Page Down key.

Ignition Angle
The ignition map works on the same principle as the
fuel screen. The up arrow will increase the ignition
angle and the down arrow will make it less. The left
and right arrow keys will move the active load site of
tuning and the Page Up/Page Down keys will toggle
between RPM ranges. When the ignition angle is
increased then the ignition timing is being
advanced.

The Ignition Map Continued: (Trigger Degree)

The trigger degree is the angle at which the Gotech

ECU is triggered. We recommend using a trigger
degree of 40. To change the trigger degree, press
the X key to open the extended menu.

With the computer’s mouse, click on the trigger

degree value and use the Page UP/Page Down keys
to increase and decrease the value. Then press the
Escape Key to return back to the main fuel screen.
The new trigger degree value will now be active.
Never increase the trigger degree value to more
than 50 and never make it less than 30.

F5 Configuration Screen:

Setup Items Help

The f5 screen is used for the main ECU setup. To

browse through the f5 screen, the Up/Down arrows
are used. To make changes, the Page Up/Page
Down keys are used. To save the changes, press
Escape. The f5 screen is setup as follows:

Number of cylinders
Self explanatory. Select the number of cylinders that your
vehicle has got. On a twin rotor engine use 4.
Ignition Divide
The ignition divide divides the fuel output. So on a four cylinder
if 2 is selected then the injectors will pulse half the speed of the
ignition. We recommend setting the ignition divide at half of
the cylinders.
