16 spindle kit or power commander.?.?.

[armey37]

I can't decide if I want to get the 2016 cat spindle/arm update or adding a power commander. I can only do one at this time. What would you do?

Back ground is I ride a 14 m8000 162 2.6. Mds weights/spring, SSI y-pipe, speedwerx L2 can. Intake relocation. Speedwerx intake vents and lots of body vents. Slp powder pros, rox 2" riser forward. I ride the heavy deep cascade mountain snow. I prefer to climb.

I'm leaning towards the suspension upgrade, seems like a great gain to assist in better side hill riding but the lowend motor bog drives me nuts and I also like more hp so that's my reason for the power commander.

Front end.



If you can get your TPS voltage checked it may be a simple adjustment to cure your low end bog.

16 front end for sure. And yes your bog is most likely caused by the Throttle position sensor being out of wack. Had the same thing going on with my 14. Once re-calibrated it ran like a champ again.

How do I recalibrate my sensor?

 

[RACINSTATION]

You have a tool that plugs into the tps on the throttle body. There is a specific voltage for fully closed and fully open. You adjust the tps location on the throttle body to correspond with those values.

This tool you buy thru AC?

IMO if you climb the power commander and a pipe is what I would do if you ride more technical trees side hilling front end just my opinion

Thinking I will make my dealer check on this.

Front suspension. It makes the sled more fun to ride all day every day.

Couldn't this be done with a simple voltmeter like on a car?

no
it is a wiper type but needs a voltage to may the values correct. ohm meter will not work alone.

funny thing is I had a dealer up here in MAINE plug into my TPS sensor they are so useless they didn't know where to check for my TPS voltage..... or what the range is... pretty sad we still have to try and diagnose our sleds and dealer "mechanics" cant

you can calibrate the TPS through the PCV if you buy one also. no tools needed other than your laptop and the PCV software

 

[RACINSTATION]

You cannot calibrate the TPS with the Powercommander.

You can calibrate the Powercommander TO the TPS, but in order to calibrate or "set" your TPS you have to hook it up to the tool, plug in the volt meter, and set the voltage values in coordination to you fully closed and fully open throttle positions. In the PCV software you are simply making sure that the PCV is using a near 0% value at closed and 100% at open. It is a different process and there is a lot of confusion about it. Hope this helps.

2016 front end kit is ordered. I was thinking should I change my powder pro ski mount holes with this new front end? Currently I run my ski plates in the forward hole..
