XEDE Engine Management System Available Soon!

[Captain KRM P5]

I think it sounds unreal. 290 to the wheels is crazy!

Is it easy to de-install?

very much so

 

[Anon Y Mous]

if anyone has ever done the mp3 ecu swap you'd know how difficult isn't.

 

[II-Savy]

very much so

So basically you wireit into the ecu wireing and that's it?
Does it require 93 octain to attain 290 hp?

the mazdaspeed3 and mazdaspeed6 require premium gas regardless of having XEDE or not

ahh yes...true.

The octane of the fuel can be accounted for in the timing map. Whether it be 100, 93, 91 or some E85 - it works. The Xede wires into the ECU and that is all.

so just to confirm this product needs to be hard wired into the factory ECU? It won't be plug and play? I was hoping that it would be a plug and play unit to take out or put back in just a couple minutes if need be.

 

[Anon Y Mous]

yeah if it's not p&p I'm out as well. Bad experiences with splicing factory harnesses in the past.

 

[k-lea]

As far as I know, it is a plug and play system.

 

[Nutari]

Yes, I was told they are trying to make it a fully plug and play system.

Official Update from Corky Bell

Systems will be shipping out VERY SOON. These will not be Plug and play. These will be wire-in and only require a minimal amount of work more than a plug and play system. I was told about 6 wires only.

They are currently trying to source harnesses to make the system plug and play but wont be working on it till mid January.



So, it comes down to.. How dedicated are you?



(ughdance)

I know im getting on the first batch...

 

[StephanieT]

So far, getting ECU connectors for this ECU has been a royal pain. No body has them. Mazda cannot even tell me a part number or manufacturer. We will have it eventually, but it is not available right now. There are no problems with hard wiring into the ECU. We have done it several times. Like with most things, if installed properly, it will be just fine. It is possible to use male/female spades with heat shrink for easier installation and removal.

I don't feel like chopping an ump-teen thousand dollar wiring harness for an ecu.

I'm a big supporter of this item but not if it's not P&P. That's a deal breaker for me.

 

[Refonbass]

I'm very interested in the XEDE, but will not even consider purchasing one until it is plug and play..

say i were to fly down and do the install for you? plus it is ten wires or less to actually need splicing.

that is something that is coming, just not right away

 

[Anon Y Mous]

It's not the initial install I'm worried about it's the longevity.

If you wanna come down and hang out with your wang out..let me know. You can hand deliver it to me and wire it up.

I'm a smart dude but I failed ASE electrical 4 times. I don't feel like butchering a harness.

i have wired in haltechs and microtechs and voltage clamps as well as o2 sensor resistors exposed to the elements without longevity issues. wiring something like this does not require master tech certification whatsoever.

PM or call me and we can discuss me coming down there - i would of course stay and iron out some good maps on top of the install itself.

 

[Anon Y Mous]

sounds like a plan to me. Let's hash out a date when I get back in town.

 

[turbofever]

So what parameters does this unit change to yield such an increase in power?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

it controls a variety of factors - most notably fuel, timing and boost. the mazdaspeed3 and 6 have been found to run very conservative, rich maps which rob them of potential power. much of this is done for emissions control. by making adjustments to the fuel maps and spark timing, as well as increasing boost, you can generate more power per psi of boost at both stock and increased levels.
