Vishnu XEDE progress

[KaliCali]

Hi all,

Found out few things today. The Protege ecu is the same ecu found in the Ford Falcon offered overseas. ChipTorque (manufacturer of the XEDE) already has an application that fits with the Ford Falcon. So in a week or so we'll be able to find out what the XEDE can offer for our cars.

I also want to know how interested the community is; how many of you would actually be interested in the XEDE? Only reason we're doing testing on it is because I work for Vishnu and happen to own an MSP as well. If there is enough interest, we can sell it =P

Theres more info here about the XEDE tuner computer:

Our ECU is also used in a lot of other ford cars. It's the EEC-4 (I think that's the right name) ECU, and it's a great unit. The problem we have is that Mazda wrote all the code badly and then locked it all up so that it couldn't be moddified. People have tried to hack into the ECU before and it's probably going to take more effert than a simple plug'n'tune unit. I hope it works, but just dont get your hopes up.

Our PCM is actually the EEC-V (5). I agree with pretty much everything else you are saying, but I think it would be awesome to see another EMS solution out there.

I hope it works out for you guys.

if it's free, it's for me

 

[tekkie]

cool stuff I hope it works

 

[BOOSTR]

Very interested. I hope that it works out and comes to market soon.

 

[txrxs]

very interesting.

the Mazda code in the Ford EEC-V is not mystical, its not difficult, its just that noone gives a **** about mazda's that run this code, and will not sink the money to disect it. its very doable, just not cheap..

and all EEC computers are chippable, so it would be easy to do. Just try to get someone to read the code, and dissemble it

(alright)

It will be interesting to see another EMS compete. If it works well, the XEDE will give the Unichip a run for it's money. But yeah, facts and proof that it works well first.

 

[peepsalot]

twould be nice

So this is basically like Hondata, but for cars other than Honda? That's exactly what I'm looking for.

I have driven an EVO that has this in it. It works quite well in that application, so there is no reason to think it won't in an MSP, provided they can reasonably get it to do so. Vishnu is a well respected company and has great products.

 

[KaliCali]

Thank you! lol

Good to see there is positive response. I'll report back when there is any forward progress.

The XEDE will most definitely give the Unichip a run for its money. We used to use the Unichip with the WRXs but have long since upgraded to using the XEDE. As soon as we can get some results... you'll see the XEDE is a much more powerful tuning tool than most of the EMS' out there (thumb)

I have heard of hondata...but can you get specific on what it does and its benefits?
