What we need is a way to pull an existing file from a tuned ecu and write it to other ecu. Cloning.

Probably can be done with an existing tool / cable / software if anyone was interested enough to dig around the internet.

Hmmm indeed. Will it still be safe to run a full exhaust with no tune? I guess my only option would be to buy a ecu from a 2013 CB1100 that already has Guhl’s flash which I don’t think maybe people would do unless they were selling their bike and wanted to put the stock tune on it.

I wouldn't take the cat out without adding fuel in some way.

Others have I am sure... and yea it will 'run' but leaner /hotter than it should- and Honda already had enough issues with engine heat failures on this bike in the design process as is.

Yeah I just called a local place to me and they’re able to flash my ecu and dyno tune it. Karns Performance in Mechanicsburg, PA. Now before I get tuned with a full exhaust is the TSR intake mod really worth it?


RE: No more tuning CB1100?? - PowerDubs_imp - 05-04-2022

I'll have to look up that shop- to my knowledge Guhl was the only place that had cracked our ECU to be able to bench flash.

Which TSR part are you referring to?

There is a simple TSR plate that replaces the intake snorkel on the airbox- it only makes about 2whp at the VERY top of the RPM.

I dyno tested it back to back- and since it made very little power, and made an intake noise that I didn't like, I did this now instead-

Then there are the the TSR velocity stacks that replace the stock ones in the airbox- they will make good power, but I don't know if they are still available, and they were expensive.

I would suggest this instead- https://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10300

Those modified stock velocity stacks have flowed enough air that I have made 103whp and 75wtq so far.


And lastly- right now I am in the middle of installing a new dual height velocity stacks I had custom made-

Yeah I meant the intake air box mod. So the velocity stacks are doing worth while I guess it seems to gain a substantial amount of power? And thanks for the links! And that’s awesome! Love your DIY stuff and I can understand for the most part because I went for Mechanical Engineering, what software did you use for the flow of the them? Only software I have used for that is Siemens Star CCM+

I didn't do the computer simulation stuff- that was done by the shop I hired to make the stacks.

Whoops didn’t mean “Awww” there lol


RE: No more tuning CB1100?? - Sparky80_imp - 05-04-2022

So..... why did Guhl stop tuning but Superbike Unlimited, VCycleNut, Ivan and everybody else still tune/flash ECU's? I'm rather confused....


RE: No more tuning CB1100?? - PowerDubs_imp - 05-05-2022

He may have already been approached by the EPA and they haven't yet.

Or he may not want to take the risk of massive fines.
