Remember, the Xede is not a piggy back. It is an interceptor tuning device. there is no "fighting" it. There is no "it works sometimes". Stephanie |
Sorry if it was mentioned in the first post or on the website, but will this be available for older cars? Are you guys going to further investigate to see how far you can take the stock ecu?

If I change my exhaust for example, I'd need to send my ECU for a reprogram again? Owning something like a megasquirt sounds way more independent to me.
The stock MAF is good to about 14 psi on the NB. The narrow band is only needed for closed loop fuel control. You must remember, when this car goes open loop it runs about 12:1 near red line (when not in boost). And the ECU won't be taking feedback from the narrow band then anyway. All we do change it to go open loop sooner (not based on rpm) and make it extend the injector pulses sooner. If more than 14 psi is desired, we have a few trick up our sleeve. We will be testing it soon. If you changed an exhaust, yes it would necessitate a reflash. That is where the Xede would come in handy. The ECU reflash is not the perfect solution for everyone. But for some, the simplicity appeals. Stephanie |

Im not sure what kind of resolution maps these ECUs have, but it cant be any worse than MS, and we have all seen how much you can do on what is generally considered very low resolution.

In your third test car, why are you running the Xede with the flashed ecu? Can the ecu flash no handle 550cc injectors on it's own?
