Vishnu XEDE progress

Hmm... San Jose, huh? About 30 minutes away. You doing this through a shop, or just on your own? I'd like to see how this pans out. =)
 
I'm going to voulenteer my car to find out, if need be. =) I'm right near him. And I'm going to be buying his suspension. Hehe.
 
nice stuff. just a couple n00b question hopefully yall wont mind answering. What is the difference between this and an EMS such as the microtech or e6x, etc.? Does one tune this or do you get it pre-tunned. Advantages/disadvantages to this over an EMS such as Microtech/e6x/AEM/etc? thanks

From the website it appears like this is more of UniChip type computer...that is more of piggyback, but a good one at that...But I didn't read enough to see if it is user programmable or not...Either way, if it is like the Unichip, it will be cheaper than some of the full standalone options most likely...

yeah, read up on Vishnu's website to see how it works in the Evo or STI/WRX. works the same way as a Unichip where it will be plug and play. If Shiv can pull out some good numbers on this, i might trade in my Unichip.
 
it datalogs correct? if so seeing as the ECU code is cracked, does it make adjustments to deal with the colder weather, etc.?

It will work for a P5 =) Assuming that the XEDE will work on the MSP

We like to call it an Interceptor computer =P But unlike the Unichip it is fully user programable. I would like this to be a plug-and-play unit, but I'm having problems finding a Harness to do so. Anybody with any leads on where I could get one.. tha'd be helpful.

Its definitely a more ecconomical solution to a full standalone, as well as logical. You get all the controll of a standalone while keeping all the factory fail-safes that Mazda has spent millions of dollars on programing.

Yep it datalogs. I don't understand the second part of your question tho. Who cracked the ECU code?

We do have an XEDE add-on for the EVO and MSM XEDEs called the SMART system, which can make adjustments to the tune based on different environmental variables (ie temp, octane and altitude).
 
I was just saying about the ECU cracking....I thought it would be cracked for this to work? yes, no, maybe?

No, the ECU is not cracked. If it were we'd have less headache and someone could offer a reflash and everyone would be happy... lol.

The XEDE will intercept and modify signals going to the ECU.

ohh, got you. I was confused cause I thought you guys were gonna crack the code. OK, nevermind I get it now.
