Hey guys,

Look what i found on the Works site

The Works team approach to ecu tuning, interesting thread

Btw, my wife is complaining that i am on the web surfing too long looking at the different venders website, and not with her except when i need something

Bye!

Wilson

 

That info is excellent background for the Works tuning philosophy, and methodology! I didn't even realize that article was there until recently, and I posted a link to the same info in my dyno-day thread as well!

Wilson, your wife and mine must be talking, because I constantly get the evil-eye anytime I get near the internet!!

Check out the "ABOUT" section on the WORKS site. Nice to see a Team of pros working on tuning our cars!

Cannot wait for my P2!

 

another reason i should get the P2

 

Another reason not even mentioned in the article is how versatile and capable the Brain Flash is. Many Evo owners now understand how well the Brain Flash reacts with simple bolt-ons, but few people are aware that the Brain Flash will continue to play a key role in the WORKS engine upgrade program.

Already scheduled for release, WORKS will be offering custom duration cams (not the usual 264s and 272s offered elsewhere on the market), controlled by the Brain Flashed factory ECU.

We will also be rolling out the WORKS turbo kit (no, not the usual GT 30/37 offered by everyone else, but something truly special and unique), again, controlled by the Brain Flash.

Water Injection is coming out very soon, with, you guessed it, custom mapping controlled entirely by the Brain Flash.

So, for those of you who thought there would be a ceiling of what the Brain Flash could control, you're in for a pleasant surprise.

Wow David, you guys are full of surprises! The idea of being able to buy custom cams and a turbo upgrade kit, all tied together with an optimized re-flash will be an awesome thing for sure!

We have made some really good progress on both the water injection and custom cams this past week, so keep an eye out for those products soon as we are already into the evaluation stage on what is now looking to be the final prototypes on each of those.

I reached for the phone to order the P2... then I saw this... Now I'm thinking that I might wait for the flash with cams. My question is this though... I plan on replacing the head bolts with stronger ARP head studs when I do the cams. I'm already looking at replacing the rod bolts with their upgraded units due to the higher rev range that the P1 has. With that in mind, can I get a flash with boost mapped in the low to mid 20-psi range?


Also, it is becoming more and more apparent, with the dynos and testimonials being posted, that the Evo benefits from an upgraded fuel pump. Now I know the average owner isn't going to pay more than $120 for a fuel pump when the 255 lph Walbro unit seems to not only shine, but brings to the table a proven track record. Has Works, or will Works offer all their programs with an adjusted tune with these fuel pumps? It's also become quite apparent that the top end needs to be leaned out a good bit due to the upgraded pumps ability to maintain a health fuel flow over 8000 rpm. Hence, you cannot just add the pump to a base program with out running too rich.

 

Good points Zeus. Just like the fuel pump it's been pointed out in some other threads that larger injectors may be necessary with the installment of cams. Of course, luckily for us, that could all be easily adjusted in the ECU.
Does Works have any insight on the the injector duty cycle with cams vs. when larger injectors are needed?

 

I tend to put a sticky "spin" on a lot of my posts... so don't expect a reply soon... or in grand detail.

 

So David, you've been online for a few hours... any comments to the above posts?

 

I'll have more comments after SEMA. At the moment, we are busy getting ready for the show.

excellent Dave.... valve timming and water injection.. attaway to hot rod. Leaning out the f/a by replacing fuel with water should ease demand on the injectors should it not?

 

I don't have too many tech specs to give out at this point, but you are on the right track. If the WORKS water injection is used in conjunction with the WORKS turbo kit, the AFR can safely and effectively be run much leaner -- lean enough to eliminate the need to monster injectors and an upgraded pump?
