| OK, well. Hmmm ....
Asymetric exhaust. Did point out that it was the asymetric systme but I didn't realsie I shoudl be expecting 2 maps. Not sure, have to do some research on that one.
There was (still is) a dip in the power curve, but the PC3 has smoothed it out a bit. The biggest difference I have noticed now is the throttle response. It's always "ready to go" which it wasn't before (even with the correct ECU for the Termi). The fueliing is now within the limits throughout the range, as with the Termi and std ECU it was very lean which you would expect.
The peak power is just a tad over the 100bhp mark. I was disappointed, but Dynomax reckoned that was good. What surprised me was that I was expecting to see peak power at 8,500 rpm or thereabouts, but it wasn't. It kept going until just over 10,000rpm when the limiter cut in.
The problem with the old ECU was that it went "pop"! Half was down PArk Straight (I know, I spend WAY too much time at Cadwell!) it was like slamming the brakes on and one cylinder cut out. Got back to the paddock and it was spluttering and cutting out. I thought it was the front coil, having had trouble with coils earlier in the year but it turned out to be the ECU. It turned out that Ducati UK didn't have any in stock so I opted to have the standard ECU put back on and then a Power Commander to go with it.
That's the story, and when the replacement ECU arrives I shall have one (unkeyed) if anyone wants one. Or I might just wait until next year and sell the asymetric system and put a different one on.  |
