Description

TCFI5 Race ECU – Built for 2011-2017 Dyna® and Softail® and 2014-2022 Sportster® with CAN Bus


Not legal for sale or use in California or on any pollution controlled vehicles.

In 2011, Harley-Davidson® made a significant change to the way their bikes communicate internally. Dyna® and Softail® models moved from the older 36 pin single connector J1850 system to a dual 18 pin Delphi® connector with a CAN data bus — the same type of high-speed communication network used in modern automotive applications. Sportster® models followed with the same architecture starting in 2014.

This newer CAN bus system is more capable than its predecessor, but it also means the older TCFI4 will not work. The TCFI5 was engineered specifically for this dual 18 pin CAN bus architecture, giving riders on 2011-2017 Dyna®, Softail®, and 2014-2022 Sportster® models access to the same full race ECU capability that Twin Cam builders have relied on for years.

If you are unsure which system your bike uses, the easiest way to check is to look at the ECU connector under the seat. A single large connector with 36 pins means you need the TCFI4. Two smaller connectors with 18 pins each means your bike uses CAN bus and the TCFI5 is your correct unit. This system has been tested on engines up to 145 CID and over 250 HP.

Important compatibility notes:

  • Not compatible with 2001-2013 Twin Cam models with the single 36 pin connector and J1850 data bus — use TCFI4 instead.
  • Not compatible with 2008-2013 Twin Cam Touring models with electronic throttle control 73 pin connector — use TCFI6 instead.
  • Not compatible with 2014-2016 Twin Cam Touring models with electronic throttle control — use TCFI7 instead.
  • All 2002-2017 V-Rods utilize the VRFI4
  • All 2017+ M8 engines utilize either M8FI G8 (2017-2020) or M8FI G9 (2021-2024).

Key Features

The TCFI5 is built for serious performance tuning. As a result, it includes the following features:

  • Plug-in replacement for the dual 18 pin Delphi® controller with CAN data bus
  • Alpha-N (throttle position and RPM based) fuel control — eliminates issues with long duration and high overlap camshafts
  • Auto-tune fuel curves for front and rear cylinders on a dyno or on-road via the included WEGO IIID dual channel wide-band oxygen sensor interface
  • Includes Bosch LSU 4.2 wide-band sensors for both front and rear cylinders
  • Fully programmable ignition advance curves — same proven control as the TC88/TC88A systems
  • Fully programmable idle air control, idle RPM, and cold start characteristics
  • Extended data logging — Anytime the engine is running, the ECU is saving and storing data.  The built in ECU memory stores 60 minutes of operating data at 10 samples per second.  The information is stored in a continuous loop, after 60 minutes it starts to overwrite the initial stored data.
  • Programmable user input for two step RPM limiting, nitrous retard, and shift kill
  • Programmable user output for shift light, nitrous activation, and electric shifter
  • Full CAN data bus support for instrument cluster and TSM/TSSM communication
  • Speedometer and odometer recalibration via PC Link software
  • Billet aluminum housing with black anodized finish
  • Easy plug-in installation

Why Alpha-N Fuel Control?

Most competitor products that interface with the stock Delphi® controller still rely on speed-density fuel control. Unfortunately, long duration and high overlap camshafts cause problems with manifold pressure — particularly at idle and cruise RPM. Speed-density fuel control simply cannot cope with these conditions.

In contrast, the TCFI5 uses Alpha-N fuel control — the same technology used in high-end automotive racing systems. Alpha-N is based on throttle position and RPM, eliminating any dependence on manifold pressure. The result is consistent, reliable fuel control regardless of camshaft specifications.


Auto-Tuning With the WEGO IIID

The included WEGO IIID dual channel wide-band oxygen sensor interface allows you to auto-tune fuel tables while riding — no dyno time required. Simply program your desired air/fuel ratio targets and the system does the rest. In addition, auto-tuning under real riding conditions typically takes only a few hours and produces more realistic results than dyno tuning alone.


PC Link Software – Free Download

PC Link software is included at no charge and runs under Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11. It gives you full control over all engine control tables and parameters, including:

  • 3D ignition advance tables
  • 3D air/fuel ratio tables
  • 2D cold start enrichment and idle air control tables
  • Programmable user input and output functions
  • Speedometer and odometer recalibration

The TCFI5 connects to your PC via a USB adapter and cable that is included with the unit. The USB interface plugs into the “add-on four pin” Daytona Twin Tec diagnostic connector. This connector will either be located on the WEGO IIID unit or it will be added into the the OE dual 18 pin motorcycle wiring harness. The software will also run in demo mode without a TCFI5 connected.


Data Logging Software – Also Free

The TCFI Log software gives you comprehensive data logging and diagnostic capability. Specifically, it allows you to:

  • Display real time engine data during dyno testing
  • Download and review the last 60 minutes of operating data at 10 samples per second
  • View elapsed time across 13 RPM bands from idle to 6999 RPM
  • Track maximum engine RPM and time spent at the RPM limit
  • Review and clear historical diagnostic codes
  • Display operating statistics in histogram chart format

Like PC Link, TCFI Log is a free download and runs in demo mode without a TCFI5 unit connected.
