Haha I've never used it but its supposed to have this feature to keep your tail pipes clean by eliminating back firing..

i got biki over a year ago. i was constantly waiting for updates, and once i did get it working, it didnt really work that great. i wouldnt consider the data loging usable in any way. all it comes out to is a bunch of squiggly lines on the screen.

i saved up my money and got a haltech, best thing i ever did.
the software is amazing, and there is real time support.

the only problem being knock detection, there are options for this. you can either wire a knock decoder up and have it as an analog input to the haltech and set it up that way, or you can get a separate module that will handle all the detection and retarding.

Yeah, thats basically what I said a year ago.
Old thread buddy.

lol at this thread

Of course you can't update a Bikirom Megaboard in realtime, it's just a daughterboard that you can flash via USB. If it takes your tuner hours upon hours to tune a MAF based Nissan at WOT then you are getting ripped off. It should take anywhere from 3-10 pulls to get WOT fueling and timing set(10 being very very conservative on the max number). It usually takes me around 3-4.

I will admit the Bikisoft software is a bit annoying how he keeps updating the UI without fixing small bugs, but there is NOTHING unreliable about the board. I've had one of the first production runs and my car has never had an issue related to the board that would prevent it from running. It always loads a file, and then after that it's just like a daughterboard running on the stock ECU - nothing to it.

The datalogging and maptrace is pretty good compared to a regular Consult feed, and it tells you a lot more having graphs and saving the maptrace than just looking at a Consult feed playing or trying to correlate that to where you are in the maps(on any of the Consult display programs I've seen).


I do think he raised the price a little high on it given that he hasn't met many of his lofty goals he set for it, but it's a nice tool if you've got a clue about tuning your stock ECU. If you're just getting someone else to tune your stock ECU, then a cheap daughterboard will probably be cheaper initially, but if you think flashing a Bikirom over USB is slow... wait until you've got your tuner popping out the EEPROMs and making changes in between runs... hahaha

Megasquirt and TEC3's suck compared to the Bikirom Megaboard besides them being MAP based IMO.

Yah well most of us care about more than just WOT tuning.

anywhere from 3-10 pulls? haha what a range. Good job being certain there, buddy. And thats exactly my point, you had to learn to do it yourself. Most people don't have the time to deal with it. Especially if its a daily driven car.

I never said it was unreliable, I said it was a pain in the ass. I laugh when I look back at the forums and see that he is still updating shit. The forum is practically dead because people are fed up with his lagging.

Comparing biki to EPROMs is retarded since I said the better alternatives are the REAL standalones. You know, the ones with real time updates?

And who said anything about MegaSquirt? Welcome to the party thats been over for a year.
