Engine Remaping

<< < (5/5)

WarthogARJ:
What you do does seem to depend on your goals, and how much input you want to have yourself after our upgrade: if you can further tweak it.
My mains aim are to smooth out the power curve, and increase fuel efficiency.
I don't really need any more power: I probably have too much...:-}

This topic is related to the GS-911: as the HexCode site shows, you can monitor before and after intervention, then example was adding a PowerCommander on the GSX bikes.

There's a University Mechanical Engineering contest in the UK about making go karts powered be motorbike engines: they modify the engine management software either directly on the modules, or on PowerCommander add-ons. I think I'll go have a chat to them. I don't think they use BMW engines, seems Aprilia, Ducatti and KTM.

But in my case, I think it's obvious that whatever route you go, you need to use a dyno to optimize things. And a knowledgeable person.

So you will be paying for:
- any hardware you add (PowerCommander etc)
- software/code/map added (I think is included with the PowerCommander)
- dyno time and expertise of whoever helps you

I'd rather not to a remapping and THEN decide to go the PowerCommander route.

And sure, whatever you do, you need to be able to revert to original settings.
