Featherfoot's ECU project

[FeatherFoot]

Now is the time to stand up and be counted! My contact has said that he was starting the inline 6 cyl and the V6 programmer while he waits on some follow on info from the current project.

I think we need to give him concrete info on the interest.

The V6 will cover the 3.2L, 3.5L & the 3.8L(?) which just about covers everything Isuzu makes, the Honda Passport and various and assundry GM products.

The design criteria is: to plug into the OBDII test plug, download and restore the stock program repeatedly; be able to upload and retract 3 (ea.) modified programs into the ECU.

1 for economy.
1 for TOW/HAUL (probably most common for daily driving.)
1 for all out performance. (WOT competition)

The programmer is targeted to cost under $400.00, probably $350.00 area.

We are anticipating 30HP gain on the naturally aspirated engines and more on the supercharged ones. We are looking at what would be considered the max allowable with the stock tranny and differentials.

If we were able to develop a kit for the tranny that would allow more would there be any interest?? cost of course would be adjusted as necessary.

I will make thia a poll so he can observe the results directly.

I voted for the naturally aspirated 'cause that's what I have. However, if I got a supercharger in the future, I would spring for the tranny kit as well.

[Dallas4u]

I, of course voted for supercharged plus tranny kit... assuming it can be done. Seriously, whatever can be done would be great! I have the SC, and would be ok with just the extra performance on top of that, but I thought with the SC that the tranny was just about up to its limit?

Anyway, I'm up for anything. $350 area for selectible modes would be a steal!

What Dallas said!

since this is just reprogramming the ecu(?). would it be possible to upgrade from na to sc later on? or do we need to buy the sc version?

I am in for the SC + tranny kit. But, I gotta keep my TOD too, don't want to end up just RWD.

[Mr. I-MAN]

I feel the need for speed! Count me in.

[johnnyapollo]

Count me in. So this mod will remove the speed limiter?

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

Just wondering if speedometer recalibration (for larger tires) would be out of the question?

I like what I am hearing so far!

Count me in.

Hey Feather-
I'm in for naturally aspirated. Could you please be more specific about the demands on the vehicle. Fuel consumption etc... Also I am in west LA, so if you need a second rig to use feel free to ask. I just want to make sure that I can go back to my default/factory settings if it doesn't work out.
Thanks

[Cyrk]

YES!!! I'm in for the supercharged plus tranny kit!!!

I'd be interested in the s/c + tranny kit, but would like more info on what the trans. "kit" would consist of and the kits total cost including estimated time and labor cost for trans. kit installation.

Would it be compatible with the "Interceptor"?

Also, if a 3-mode controller would be made specific to the all-out s/c and trans. kit, could its' "tow" setting be made safe for a s/c with stock trans. by "limiting" the max power output in "tow" mode?

This would allow the owner to install/evaluate the programmer now and the trans kit later.

The same deviation could be implemented in the s/c only kit, making the "tow" function "limited" for naturally aspirated engines, and allowing the user the option of upgrading to a s/c later.

[FeatherFoot]

Sorry, for the lack of info, my fingers were getting tired so I just posted the bait.

each of the 3 programs will give you the opportunity to adjust the settings +/- 5%, tire size input, rev limiter and speed limiter adjustments and tranny shift point adjustments.

Have a normally aspirated VX and would buy this. Would also be interested in the SC + Tranny, as the SC is a possibility!
