MP3, MSP, P5 chips/tuners

[petec]

The site is down. The host server has been sold and nobody bothered to warn me before taking it off line....

We will determine what works and what doesn't for timing, A/F etc... We never just hack at it without some sort of dyno feedback.

Im very interested, and I know this will sell if it works.

I really dont know how this works but if we can work on the base fuel map and ign timing map and disable the closed loop (making it a dumb ecu), it will be basically easy to tune with a wideband and EGT and get rid of piggybacks.

I mean, what you guys (petec) are looking for? I dont think this is easy.

There could be other options, if you guys have already done it with other ECUs, maybe you can find one that fits on the stock ECU Plug?

Not to oversimplify but.... The Mazda PCM is not any different than the other Ford's. If you can get a 700rwhp Cobra to idle perfectly, in closed loop, run perfect in heavy traffic etc, etc, etc... I have no doubt we can get a 200-300whp Mazda do the same thing.

Sounds like good news.

Exactly what I have been thinking all along.

Pete, when will the site be back up? When it comes back up, let me know so I can change the link on my site.(thumb)

Any ideas on what kind of potential hp/torque gains this will produce?

 

[ONRAILS]

This sounds great... can't wait to see the results.

Subing!

Updates!

something new????

 

[PR5Matt]

He is playing with the code right now (beta testing), but he has quite a few projects going and a new child so he is busy. He does this stuff for FORD, so we will see.

 

[Ryoga28]

Great, I'm hoping for good news.

Just one question though...What all the different types of mods availble for the msp or na protege, how will the new programming be able to account for that. Does he need to dyno tune each different configs?

Its no different than working on modified Fords... The Mass-air system will compensate for most minor mods like CAI and exhaust. Its only when you get into turbos, superchargers, N2O or any other serious mods with big impact on airflow that you'll need changes. The software that comes with the XCal2 flasher will allow some end-user adjustability.

 

[Protephile]

Have you made any progress on reprogramming the code?
I am really looking forward to the results!

 

[flat_black]

I just got my bonus check, and I'm holding onto it for this. =) If I can tune it enough to lean out the rich and rich out the lean with my ITB's, I'll be sold. Hehee.

 

[Bala]

Ooooooo. Subin for the Auto P5.

 

[peepsalot]

OK, so this makes it sound like on a mildly modified NA car this is useless, or is there some adjustability for AFRs and especially timing?

If you can tune the spark with it, and you tuned it for premium, I would imagine you could get some ponies even on a mildly modified car. Like how some people swap the MP3 ECUs.

 

[Boston5761]

i didnt read back, but what is the expected cost going to be.....if it does work?

There is definitely room to optimize the stock tuning = there is power to be gained even on a stock car.

To clarify... Once you have the performance files, you won't necessarily need to change the file just because you added a cat-back or CAI.

Similar to other aftermarket flashers, $300-$500 depending on level of flasher and work required for the files (NA is cheaper than turbo/N2O).
