How to Install Dicktator ECU - Wiring & Sensors Guide

This is a "How to install a Dicktator Management System ECU / EMS" guide video.

We show and explain the wiring and where it goes, we also cover the sensors, their locations and what they do, including TPS - throttle position sensor, MAP - manifold absolute pressure, IAT - intake air temperature, CT - coolant temperature, 4 point trigger wheel (cam - trigger per event), RPM out and ignition out signal

We also look at the magnetic converter (MAG Converter) and explain its purpose.
This converts the magnetic sensor signal to an optic sensor signal (square wave)

The installation is on a 98 turbo Honda Civic using a magnetic pickup and internal module.
The Unit is a Dicktator Standard Engine Management System (Std) (EMS/ECU)
This unit is intended as a Stand-Alone ECU as it can replace the stock ECU on older more basic cars.

Morning, can somebody please explain how a dicktator and a petrol pump should work together, asking this because when I switch ignition on, the fuel pump do spray petrol out but it does not reach the front, it is not coming out at all. If I take out the pipe on pump and switch ignition on, petrol runs out.

How did you wire your alternator? from everything ive read the factory honda alternator is controlled by the stock ecu so im not exactly sure how to go about it with a standalone ecu. Ive always just used chipped 0bd1 honda ecu's and tuned with crome but they are getting harder to find now a days. Im thinking about to switching over to dictator as it is cheap and the tuning software seems really simple and easy to use. Messaged them and they can ship to the USA most people over here spend more money on standalone's like Fueltech or Haltech but I don't want to spend over $1000 on a computer to run a d-series engine that is only worth maybe $300 lol.

Is it true that you need to send in the dictator std to dictator to have the launch control activated ?....tried setting it up but doesn't seem to work

[KudakwasheNyandoro-dxsk]
