Then try using dynos from the following manufacturers:

Dynapack
Dynojet
Dynamic Test Systems

Wow.

 

Hey Shiv, will you be making a harness for the exede that requires NO splicing or cutting into any wires (i.e. completely removeable and invisible when taking the car in for service)? I really don't want to fool with my warranty, but gotta have the power! Thanks in advance...

 

Eventually, yes, we will have a plug-in harness. But not for a while considering all the new features we are putting into the EXEDE every couple of weeks. Settling on a plug-in harness at this time will limit room for growth. Having it wire-in allows for a good deal of flexibility which is key during these relatively early stages of development. If warranty is a big concern, it's my opinion that one shouldn't modify his car. Either that, or buy another wiring harness from the dealer and cut into that. Or, better yet, get that Field pass-thru harness

Cheers,
shiv

 

So just for crystal clear clarification, if I buy the Xede RIGHT NOW (as in stage 0 or by itself), it comes ready to control boost? Since it controls boost using engine speed and load as variables, is that something you need to design into a map and if so, have you already done it, or is it more along the lines of an EBC which can be adjusted with a control unit from inside the car? Is there anything this thing CAN'T do? It's sounding as if the engine management market is getting narrowed down to ONE!

 

Exactly.

Shiv i started this thread in hopes of finding the answer to one queston-
When I get tuned on the Xede tune on the dyno, would it be in my best interest to use my EBC to control boost or allow the Xede to control boost? I kinda want to be able to control boost from the cockpit so I'm assuming an EBC will be perfect as well..?

Also - what are your dates for going up to Matrix Engineering (i think) in Portland. The last I spoke with Jeremy it was June 28 and 29..?

Good question. I'm in New York and very interested in getting the stage Xede package but would like to dyno tune my car.
Shiv, when are you planning to come to the area and where. Thanks in advance.

 

The XEDE's boost control system is a good deal more capable than any add-on EBC I've used. The AVC-R comes close as far as tunability goes. And it does have some nice lights and graphics. But the only real advantage of it is the ability to tune your boost curve from the cockpit without using a laptop.

The XEDE can swap between 2 maps (which can change boost levels/patterns) with a toggle switch from the cockpit without using a laptop. But to actually tune it on the fly, you will need a laptop. Personally, I'd rather tune the XEDE's boost control over an add-on EBC when I'm on the dyno.

That sounds right.

evolucionado-- I'm going to be in the tri-state area next weekend at Pruven Performance dyno tuning a whole bunch of WRX and EVOs (20 cars in total, I think). There is one tuning spot open on Sunday. If you're interested, email Eric L. (the organizer) at arkady@rmscorp.com. He can give you details.

Liandrin11-- The upcoming batch of XEDEs that will be sent out with boost control and map switching enabled. So yes, if the XEDE is ordered today, the one you will receive will have all the goods.

Cheers,
Shiv

 

Shiv,

are the exhaust n intake upgrades really necessary? i am planning on getting the hks cams with the XEDE. is te stock inake and exhaust really restrictive?

 

Shiv so you could tune for 19 or 20psi all the way to redline with the Xede???

Thats what I really want to know...

 

BadBoyBeltran-- The stock intake system isn't restrictive at anything close to stock hp levels. Even at 300-350bhp, I don't see much, if any, of a gain from open element intakes.

As for exhaust upgrades, yes, they help at stock hp levels, let alone higher output levels. Very recommended if you don't mind a little louder exhaust note.

boostedwrx-- Yes, the XEDE can now be tuned to hold 20psi right up to redline.

Shiv

 

Shiv,
Will you be doing any boost changes on the upcoming tunes? What kind of gains are you seeing now that you have boost control?

 

shiv,

i will get your EXED soon. I hope the harness will be done by then. For now, budget is kinda limited so I am looking for the best bang for the buck. HKS cams and a MBC are really whats appealing to me right now. I am definitely going for the stage one vishnu towards the end of the summer. What do you think? and thanks to the quick response.

 

Shiv,
I have a ebc already installed on my EVO, will the xede work properly without having to remove my boost controller?
I have got money burning a hole in my pocket.
Also is there a sound clip for your exhaust system?

 

Wow Reading this post, has set me on the Xede for sure. I am still waiting for my downpipe to arrive from japan, and i need to save up some more money. But the 2 map switch is something i was dreaming of having, for average gas, such as **** 91, and close by i have 100 octane, which i can dump. Maybe find some variable of like 6 gallons of 100 and 7 gallons of 91 which would be my secondary variable. Vishnu, once again you get mad props.

I have many questions, but I will wait until I have the cash to spend for it, in a month or so. I plan for calslam 3 to visit or before, perhaps get some in house dyno maps. .... Wow my post was senseless, probably just because i am excited.
