Even better how do you review a piece of hardware that depends on the tuners skill to make it perform to the best?

Added an upgraded turbo went to Chennai and lost to Karthik's NA car due to 2 key reasons:
1) Excessive wheelspins at 12 PSI
2) Insane torque steer
3) Missed a gear |
Funny thing is just this morning I was talking with blueraven and we were speaking about the chennai drag which you mentioned.. I was just asking him how come your TC got to see the rear of Karthiks NA car with just a ECU and no air filter... well your thread has cleared quite a bit up for me and others for sure.

Build 3) Forged setup with upgraded turbo
Almost wheelspun all the way to the finish line this speedrun and still managed to better my last years timing at 18 PSI.

Dont worry I wont ask you for a Test drive, however will be coming to SAG shortly, if I see you there, I humbly ask thee to let me ride shotgun on a nice blast down banaswadi road / ring road.
Also are you getting some good drag spec tires for the next speed run? after reading this I am sure thats exactly what you need next.. not even a better clutch.

Now here comes why:
Karthik upgraded the map sensor to 1.5 bars due to my incessent ranting on wanting more and we took out the car on my base map to about 21 PSi.
Then I brought it down to 18 PSi with my boost controller and it held all the way to the redline (8K RPM)

I dont believe it but I did understood most of that!
atleast I think I did.

Hmm it is pretty close to any worldwide ECU out there.
We have since used the ECU in some more cars and have come back with very satisfying results with the installs and have never had a chance to find an error on the installs.
Would however love to have closed loop operations to be made available for turbo cars with target afr's and a wide band as a permanent option on each car and with the newer option of the UI, datalogging, launch control and valet mode it just keeps getting better.
So you guys at Race Dynamics listen :
"You guys are headed in the right direction and keep the good work going"
I am sure I am not the only one to voice this opinion but hundreds others out there using your ecu's.

Karthik, am saving up to pick up one of your RD ECUs.
I wish it was a lil cheaper? How about a (extra) good deal for Team-Bhp boys?
