E-manage blue...

after long awaited... years of saving... finally... the parcel arrives...



some says its nickname is e-damage... others say its imitation product... whatever it is, it increases horsepower... and more importantly, a stepping stone for me to learn the dark side of software and ecu tuning...



together with it's ignition harness, this is by far the best bang-for-buck piggyback ecu available in the market...



installation was done by an aircond man...



which leaves the tuning part to this nice chap from Millennium Motorsports...



a baseline run was done and it only recorded approximate 80whp at 5500rpm... the AF mixture is also running slightly rich across the rev range, averaging 12.5:1...



after 13 runs fiddling with the air fuel ratio and ignition timing, max result achieved at 96.3whp at 5700rpm... torque peaks at 90FtLb @ 2400rpm and maintain all the way till 5700rpm... fairly satisfactory considering it is running on 95-octane fuel with "paliah" spec setup...



dyno chart speaks for itself...



the AF graph maintains 13:1 ratio all the way and dip down rich slightly at rev cut to prevent any serious engine failure...



FYI, dyno dynamics is an inertia dyno... it is also considerably heavier on load compare to other dynanometer... quick search on the internet reveals that results obtained from dynodynamics is 10-15 percent lower compare to dynojets... with the use of outboard weather station, it detects the ambient temperature and configures the dyno machine correction factors such as barometric pressure, relative humidity, ambient air temperature and inlet air temperature...



so, the disappointing low figures ain't really disappointing after all... :)
