I seriously doubt the airbag lid mod will do anything more than raise the intake noise. E.g. my Ford F150 with twin turbos has about the same sized snorkel as my Griso. You're going to tell me a 3.5 liter turbo'd motor is breathing fine and yet a normally aspirated 1.2 liter motor is not?Second point; why hire a middleman when you can talk directly to your customer?
I figure that the Breva airbox is about the same size as my 5.0 93 f150s' plenum. Seems like the box top with the cute oval limits actionable cfm while leaving enough air to keep everything nice and lean to meet emissions. Your 3500 cc engine uses fancy super high rpm pumps called turbochargers to overcome one of the fundamental problems of any reciprocating pump,getting air into the inlet of the pump beyond atmospheric pressure its called boost. Remember that our bikes if they are both at sea level only have about 14 lbs of pressure in the box. So any restriction on a N/A engine will effect top end performance because available air depending on your elevation is limited, this becomes even worse the higher the elevation. Remember we dont suck air into our lungs atmospheric pressure pushes air into them. Depending how fast our lung muscles expand and contract depends on how much air is pushed in. Internal combustion engines are just pumps, with controlled explosions at the proper time.
Fantastic post I was thinking about taking off the air box lid on my Breva. Will the software all me to modify the maps for the extra airflow or should I get a Power Commander?
My fancy 3.5L uses turbines, not a turbocharger to provide boost.
Some of these posts seem to have to been written while on more bourbon than even I can handle! But, as I only come and go here as the mood strikes ... which it does not often ... I'm probably missing something profound.So, as Kathi leaves in a bit for three days , I'm screwing up my courage to start this thread at p. 1 and plod on to the end.Want to see if I can make sense of it enough to order (finally) the right cable set, etc., then get the latest map. [ Yes, with a donation sufficient to at least buy beetle and VdG a decent beer; don't want to overtip too soon. ]Pray for me; I'm going in. Bill
I'm using El Capitan OSX 10.11.1 beta. Guzzidiag (0.47) works fine for me ('16 Stone), but it didn't until I installed the FTDI USB serial driver (2.3) off the Guzzidiag site. I used Guzzidiag to determine my ECU flash version (it's 4533V740). I don't intend to update it until I see reports of a newer one that works better. So far, the updates seem to do more harm than good.
Please explain the difference.
Turbines are powered by the exhaust flow, turbochargers are spools run directly off the engine; typically by a belt. (snipped)
Turbines are powered by the exhaust flow, turbochargers are spools run directly off the engine; typically by a belt. Which one you choose to use depends on how you operate the vehicle. Turbine driven boosters have to wait for the engine to increase rpm to increase exhaust flow so there is some lag between the time you stop the go pedal and the desire action happens.
Gah, brain fart! Thanks for the correction. I really should stay away until I've had my coffee. At least some of you are awake.
I haven't been able to use my Macbook Air to install the map from Guzzidiag, had to get a friend to use his PC, but I would like to be able to rest my ups, etc. I just updated to El Capitan 10.11 and I've tried to find the FTDI USB serial driver 2.3 on Guzzidiag. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks
Which cylinder on a Ducati is Left?
I'm having trouble resetting the TPS; that function is not showing up on the dropdown menu for "engine off". Anyone have a clue?
What ECU?
what version Guzzidiag? You should find tps reset it in the drop down list
Bingo!I have a Mac and had decided that perhaps I should download GuzziDiag again. I noticed there where two downloads for Macs. I had the VO.46-2 version and the second version was VO.46-3. This version worked as advertised; the TPS reset option was right there in the dropdown menu (unlike the 46-2 version). Thanks for the help everyone. I couldn't keep this bike without all the help and advice given so freely.
