It doesn't work "with" the UTEC, I use cipher exclusively for datalogging. I only use the UTEC/UTI when monitoring knock because cipher lacks that function.

Also, your timing readings from the ECU will be incorrect when running a UTEC. The ECU will read really low because the UTEC is taking control and the ECU doesn't know what's going on.

 

So cipher corrects the timing for UTEC?

 

No . . . . . .

 

No, when you are running the hard timing with the UTEC, ie 29 BTDC @ 6500, then ECU is no longer controlling the timing and will throw you a reading of 18 BTDC or something like that. Basically the UTEC adjusts timing after the signal leaves the ECU so the ECU has no idea what the timing actually is at that point.

Clarified enough?

 

Post ECU is the term I would use.

 

Great, got it. The ECU wont compensate for something that it sees as correct, even though the actual timing is more advanced.
