Anyone have any luck with this yet? I did a search for this and seems like it was hit and miss. | ||

FWIW even from the early days attempting to override these ecms has been problematic, If you stop and think about it, unless you lock the AFV the ECM will adjust to the alterered output and if it can adjust far enough cancel out the over ride, the best thing to do is get a TUNE by a sponsor. | ||

Everything I have read shows that the piggy back units hate the 1125's almost as much as the XB. They seems to work great at first, then after a few thousand miles it starts to conflict with the ECM and its all down hill. | ||

"Everything I have read shows that the piggy back units hate the 1125's ..."} Does that include the ProTune 3? I put one on my 09 (November 2008 build) 1125R after fitting a K&N filter and a Jardine Carbon RT5 slip on. With the second "yellow mode" (fuel added during acceleration) and the third, "red mode" (additional fuel added during full throttle conditions) bumped up to the units maximum rich setting, I'm able to get an air fuel ratio of from 14:1 at 5000 rpm down to 13.4:1 at red line. It runs great, plenty of ponies, and the CHT generally stays between 160 and 190 even in traffic on the hottest days. The only hint that I may be running a little lean is a some popping while decelerating with aggressive downshifting. Any advice? | ||

Space - Are you looking for power under deceleration? Hell...let it shoot some flames...it's better than "loud" exhaust...! The big blue flame wakes people up. Mike | ||

Orange flames are easier to see... | ||

I'm just a little worried about cooking something. Like a piston. I'm a pilot and we are always adjusting the mixture on non turbo piston airplanes to compensate for altitude. Generally, we are looking for an EGT 25 to 50 degrees F rich of peak. That gives us something close to best power, relatively low CHT/oil temp's and pretty well insures that we'll not burn a hole in a piston. As I understand it, the fuel air ratio under those circumstances is somewhere between 12.5 & 13:1. Lean of peak ops are OK if you're careful. Typically no thinner than 25 degrees lean of peak. Much more than that (some where around 16:1) and you can do some real damage to a very expensive motor. Blue vs. orange flames. Being the relatively conservative type, I tend to spend most of my time looking where I'm going. I have no idea what color they are. ... Does it make a difference? |
