Booster Plug - What's Actually Inside

[fixitsan]

 

I'm moderately happy with my BoosterPlug, but as I travel to Athens a lot I'm considering getting an early ECU for Samios to remap. But I'm actually going to ask them to leave the fuel cut-off in place, as I dislike popping and enjoy the growly exhaust note while decelerating as well as the engine braking effect. I also want the torque limiting gone. The bike still hunts a little around 30-40 mph level, and consumption has gone up by a bit so rather than fiddle with CO settings in the dash I'm thinking remap. Did you notice any other improvements beyond the highlights mentioned?

 

Any thoughts on remapping versus PowerCommander setups?

 

For me it felt much easier to ride without the fuel cutoff, all lurching on and off throttle stopped. Maybe my riding ?

 

Coxylad, another member here gave the Samios ECU a try on his bike and he didn't note much difference, particularly no more outright power, but did feel the anti-fuel cutoff smoothed things out the same as me.

 

 

I've started writing the code for a universal discrete anti-cutoff module to retrofit to other bikes, to see if it makes an improvement in their low speed behaviour. It will only be operable on deceleration between 3500 - 1500 rpm, with 3 connecting wires to the bike, none of which interact with the ECU or any existing engine sensor (so there's no risk of frying anything).

 

I haven't tried a power commander for a bike, but used a couple for cars so know how it works.

 

What I could do with the anti-cutoff device is make a +5% mode, like a boost mode, to lengthen the injector pulses the same as what a power commander does. It isn't a specific goal, but again, it could be used to add more fuel during acceleration, above, say 4500rpm, and it's possible to make it a user adjustable parameter.

 

I could also add a consumption meter too. But I need to get the basic function working properly first !
