Im sorry for asking so many questions but i have one more. So after i get the air-box mod done and assume i get the ecu flashed, would i need to install a Power commander and get the bike tuned.
Just wanted to know if you are riding your bike only with the ecu flashed or also with a PCV. Because i already bought one used thinking i needed both for some reason.
I just dont want to get the ecu flashed and ride the bike without a PCV and tuning it and find out later i damaged my engine or something.
I assume by flashing the ecu to a busa would only remove restrictions and some other good stuff but doesnt do anything with the airfuel ratio.
What we're talking about doesn't touch the air/fuel. Just removes some limits.
You can however have the a/f tuned, and everything else previously mentioned done with an Ecu editor dyno tune.
I plan on doing this after I get the full exhaust I want. Until then, clicking a few restrictions away is beneficial.
You can flash the things mentioned and not tune the a/f with Ecu Editor. That can still be done separately with a Power Commander is you so desire. Mainly because the dyno tuner doesn't know how to tune a/f with Ecu Editor.
You can also use a Power Commander base map. Which is a map that's already been created to run well with the exhaust you have. They are baselines meant to be better than stock. I have never been impressed with them. However, Brocks is known for making very good base maps(for their exhausts).
To dyno tune with Ecu Editor or Power Commander is beneficial.
To use a base map is anyones guess, but can help.
To flash the limits off in Ecu Editor, and/or change exhaust, and not change the a/f and it result in engine damage? I think not.
The bike's are simply improved, yet still not running to their full potential.
Where are all these bikes with engine damage resulting from full exhausts and/or derestrictions with stock a/f ratios?
Where? Someone show me the graveyard of boat anchors? Of any sportbike really, let alone a near bulletproof gen2 engine.
Any salvageyard gen2 engine you find is either physically destroyed from a bad crash...or the perfectly working engine is being sold out of a crashed bike. You also rarely to never hear or read of internal engine problems, on properly maintained engines.
Of the half dozen or so gen2's I've unrestricted with the bikes present, then and later, I've never seen them develop any engine issues resulting. Some ran the stock exhaust, some had full exhaust. All the spark plugs still looked the same several thousand miles later.
There are instances where gen2's have screwed up, and I've never read that the limiters had been removed or that the a/f was changed. It is very, very rare, search for yourself. Even if you found 3, do the math, and consider the thousands you never hear of, because they are still running great.
Myself and my friends ran full synthetic oil and did the regular maintenance...and ran the heck out them on a daily basis. Never had an issue.
So, dyno tune? Yes, whenever possible. Better running, better bike.
Base map? Sure, why not, if you trust it's source, give it a try. May help some.
Dyno tune with Ecu Editor or Ecu Editor and Power Commander? Which ever the tuner is able to do the best job with.
No a/f change, and/or full exhaust? Yes, an improvement.
Harmful? Almost never.
Hard evidence proving otherwise has yet to surface. Where are all the boat anchors? There aren't.
Many hard miles later on several bikes still running strong is enough for me!
This is my somewhat educated opnion
