Hello All,
Does anyone have any experience of using a PC in a 998? Ive got a 998bp if that makes any difference? Its currently got the DP ECU that came with the termis, but I might be tempted to switch to a PC if its going to improve the fuelling

cheers,
Ben

I have one fitted to my 998BP - solved all the fuelling problems I had, and gave me between 3 and 7 HP extra in the midrange!
Problem with the DP ECU is its not remappable, so you're stuck with a generic map, as well as the fact it costs shitloads compared to the 160 quid the PC3 cost me!

What pipes you got on your 998bp
I recently fitted 45mm Termis & DP ICU to my 998bp & the bike is improved 100%
I belive they run better if the Co2 is set to around 4/6 %

Im running 54mm pipes up to the headers and the CO2 is set at 4.5%.

£160 for a PC3 - bargain.

Eek 54mm , i only went for 45's partly cause i got a good deal ( Yella) & partly after reading the Moto one website

Interesting article. Im toying with the idea of taking it to Sigma Performance for the full monty and perhaps even blueprinting, but it all comes down to how much its going to cost at the end of the day.

Also got to get rid of the desire to get it sprayed black!

Might be more cost effective to buy the S/R
I for one would rather upgrade the bike than spend mega money on the engine !

If i can get the money i will go for the 998S or a 996R next

I have a 998s fitted with Termi`s and 50 tubes + DP enginge management unit. Runs very strong with the very occasional
spit back which i can live with.

I must agree that the s or R would be a far better bet than the Biposto!

Rcgbob44 , got any Dyno charts ???
Or any one for that matter post em up so we can all see them


Mine is bellow , before Cans/Icu fitted

I'll try to scan mine in when I get home - one graph was done on a Fuchs dyno (engine had only done 2000 miles) before the PC3 was fitted, the other graph shows before and after the custom map was created
