Vishnu XEDE progress

[brealmp3]

ahh thanks,

i read through the thread once but can't remember will this be self tunalbe or will you have to locate a dealer?

 

[Ryoga28]

I hope it works out in the end. Will it be plug and play?

It is fully user tunable.

I hope it works out in the end. Will it be plug and play?

I would like for it to be plug and play, but I can't find a Harness. If anyone knows where to buy a patch harness for a Ford 104 pin connector that would help. Otherwise this will be a wire in.

 

[LinuxRacr]

THose harnesses are expensive.

 

[tekkie]

and hard to find

 

[KaliCali]

yea... I know... =T

 

[ChopstickHero]

are you doing this project on your own? can't Vishnu find a source for those harnesses?

 

[TurfBurn]

Yeah.. the PandP clips will run around an extra 300 for both male and female...

Here we go again on the piggy's...

 

[Spooled]

$300 seems a little steep for a piece of plastic that holds wires together.

 

[TurfBurn]

1) connectors are never cheap
2) the connector is proprietary and has big royalties associated with it I've been told
3) automotive connectors are FAR from pieces of plastic holding wires... they have to have VERY VERY low PPM rates and have to be vibration resistant which believe it or not is a bit of a difficulty for most electrical connectors.

Fact is if you could find ANY connector that size with pins and termination etc take care of for less than 80 bucks a half I'd be damn impressed.

 

[tekkie]

I contacted a few companies to make some and they all lost interest as soon as I told them its a ford - mazda connector

if you can get them from 80 bucks per side hook me up thats real cheap

 

[low_psi]

Yea, connectors are not cheap. The more I think about the switch to a XEDE, the more a Microtech makes sense.

 

[lcruz64]

Microtech does have a good set of options...

 

[ArrestYellowMSP]

Any new news?

 

[LinuxRacr]

Let's keep this thread on topic everyone. This one is about the Xede...

 

[ghost]

subs....

Merry Xmas everyone... and just in time. I got the car off the dyno tonight and have been driving it around =D

Torque and HP curves are much to my liking. The car made 176whp and a nice 200 lb/ft of torque on a Dyno Dynamics. Mods are Injen intake, Ion front mount, Perrin 3" J-back exhaust and XEDE at 9psi. Multiply the results by 1.14 and you'll roughly have dynojet numbers (200whp and 228tq).

The car suffered from high engine temps. After every pull we had to cool down before continuing with the next. Other than that the car drives much much much better. Low end torque is the greatest improvement and has so far made driving around town much more enjoyable. Car pull beautifully throughout the powerband as well.

I'll post the before and after dynographs as soon as Shiv mails them to me =) The difference will sicken you =P

-Cheers!

 

[BOOSTR]

So the connector problem has been resovled?
What is making the car run so hot, or at least hotter than normal?
Can't wait to see the graphs. I am digging the torque gain a whole lot!

 

[flat_black]

My guess is sitting still on the dyno in balmy California, with not enough circulation is what caused the overheating. =) Awesome results, man!

 

[daedalus]

Wow... i cant belive it actually worked! Have you checked to make sure the nasty stock ECU isnt messing up your tune now that you've been driving it? When we did the emanage, it tok the tune for like 3 iginition cycles, and then started making its own changes...
