I'm headed to the Isle of Man TT in a couple of weeks with a sidecar team. I'm fairly new to all the ECU stuff but I can struggle my way through a reasonable amount of the motec software. At last years TT the bike struggled for power on the mountain section. My question is can you run a second map for the mountain and have it switch over at a certain point of the track?

You would probably be better to have a barometric pressure compensation table than switched maps. I assume it's an Alpha-N based tune now. (Throttle position x rpm).

Thanks for the reply. yeah it's Alpha-N. Barometric did cross my mind but the "The Mountain" is more of a hill in reality it's highest point is 414 meters above sea level. I think part of the problem is the change of incline as much as the pressure difference. I definitely could be wrong but I thought the pressure difference wouldn't be a large enough change to significantly improve the performance?

There are a heap of calculators online but 400m is only a few percent pressure drop. May be enough to allow slightly leaner fueling and potentially need a touch more ignition for best power though.

Do you have a Barometric or manifold pressure sensor on the vehicle?

Definitely have a map sensor, it's not connected currently. Barometer I'm not sure of I don't think so but possibly in the pile of parts somewhere

Use van.use the map sensor for barometer compensation if open to atmosphere or as a fuel map multiplier if seeing powt throttle pressure.
