We wont have it on the dyno till Monday, but after yesterday and today's performance runs I'm too excited to keep it under wraps anymore. We just finished up the tuning for our new Air/Fuel controller. After hearing about the non-compatability of the SAFCs and the demand for an inexpensive unit, we set out build something that would make jaws drop...Well I think we may have just done it...Working with a group out of CA(we'll reveal when we post up dyno results and are in production) we have designed a unit that allows for complete air/fuel control for the MSP. Initial tuning has allowed for the birth of a completely different car...a/f map is as smooth as a babies butt, and the power just keeps right on pulling up to redline...I'll go into more detail when we have finished dyno results and specs, but instead of using knobs and switches, we've made the unit completely interfaceable with the computer. That means you plug it in load the software and edit your own settings, perfect for those of you who want to be able to change things up between runs. RIght now we're toying with building in an fcd, and raising the boost a little. You can expect dyno results and final specs sometime next week and available for orders in about 2 weeks. I should also give a special thanks to our guinea pig, um I mean volunteer, EvilMSP for so graciously letting us beat the hell, err push the limits, of his msp....

I wouldn't expect you to have an exact price, but how will it stack up to the others price wise. I'm currently scouting an mpi tuner. I know you get what you pay for, but you(DSM) seem hell bent on value as well. Which is good ofcourse.
DSMConvert
10-28-2004, 11:22 PM
this model will have air/fuel control, however for extreme tuners we will more than likely release a FTC(fuel timing controller) piggyback system later on down the road(This is assuming our air/fuel controller does well as we currently have nearly all our resources including capital tied up in its R&D). Our goal was to get something out that even the basic tuner could use and adjust, but that provided enough precision that an extreme tuner could find useful. For those that go full built motor, huge turbo etc, then yes the FTC would be the way to go as it will allow for greater engine control. For 98% of the people on here, you would get the greatest benefit out of the A/F controller...so for details and dynos just be patient as soon as we get them and analyze them we'll have them up...

1. You must include ultra detailed instructions for those who are new to tuning, big selling point.
2. How hard is the install?
3. Price I am sure will be the deciding factor for most people. or we would all have a mpi or a haltech,- make sure its a good value for the cash.

How is this going to install? Through the ODB-II port, or will there be extensive splicing involved. Also, post some screen shots of the software used to program it when you get a chance. VERY COOL that more people are going the ECU tuning route. That's where the performance is.

Do we still get to see some dyno results today?
DSMConvert
11-01-2004, 01:35 PM
Grr, well as evil knows we've been set back a few days due to in part the SEMA events for the past few days, so dyno results are not done yet. The relearning issue was reasearched and determined that the mazda ecu will only relearn around outside devices when it encounters extreme variances in values coming into it. Fortunately for us mazda didnt see the need to invest much in a high-tech ecu, instead it just revamped its protege one. The changes our maps will make will be well within the values for the ecu to handle. That is currently what is taking all the time, is actual road testing and run time to make sure that the ecu doesnt "get smart" on us. Sorry its taken me so long to get back but between this project and hardpipes I've been up to my eyes in "errands". As far as a price estimate the best I can do right now is tell you it will be between $250-500. I know thats a rather large range, but it entirely depends on which features we end up adding and unforseen changes we may have to make. Whew ok I think i caught the majority of hte questions. Like i said I really cant give too many details at the moment, b/c in all honesty we're still changing things around. Oh yea on the N/A note, yes it will work, but we will not have preset maps for you N/A guys, as we will for the MSP crew.

Mallard
11-01-2004, 02:57 PM
Please try to keep it closer to $250. For $500 I could get the Emanage instead, but I don't need all of its features. If you want to sell a lot keep the price low and keep it simple to use. (Which it sounds like it is)
This would be perfect for people like me who are staying on stock boost, but would like to maximize the performance. (For autocross rules prohibit upping the boost, but allow piggyback computers and I need every bit of help I can get against those damn WRX's)

Ok update, fcd will be incorporated and more than likely an electronic boost controller. IN addition the unit will also be able to handle bigger injectors. Thus far we've tuned the unit for both stock boost and 10psi. This doesnt mean these are the only levels it will control, this is just what we're running for intial dynos and such. As far as dynos, I'll have 3 to show. One for stock boost non tuned, one for stock boost with our tuning, and then a 10psi tuned run...this should cover any performance questions that you guys have. Warrier the unit will come with preset maps for those of you who dont know a lot about tuning, the software will allow the more advanced and "unique" MSPs to fine tune the maps. For those of you subscribing I should have dynos and pics up end of this week or beginning of next week...

so with what ease will i be able to tune? if i go out and pick up a new smic, would the changes in the software be drastic (requiring me to spend half the day driving around and testing out what i did)? i'm pretty computer literate, so learning the software shouldn't be THAT hard ... i think ...

I agree that this should be offered without the boost gauge and FCD. I already have a boost gauge, and am boosting 10-11psi daily. If I could get this tuned at 10psi, I shouldn't need an FCD if I'm boosting 10-11psi with no problems as it is, right?

I also agree that I don't need the FCD or boost controller with this. As I stated in my previous post, boost controllers are illegal in my autocross class but piggyback computers are legal. I am just looking to tune it better and get some more power within the rules of my class. Can it be ordered/installed without these options?

the FCD is actually part of the programming advantages, so it will not make the cost any higher or lower, just an added bonus...the ebc is something we're still toying around with and we still aren't sure on it just yet, so I'll keep you autox and such guys in mind. BUT for you guys who's excuse is you already have an mbc, I will tell you now that an EBC is far superior at controlling boost to a manual and the cost hike will be very close to the price of a mbc unit, but like I said we're still going back and forth on this idea, and I'll take into consideration your inputs...

So he set on a quest to make this car roar. He though, and he pondered and indeed thought some more. Then one sunny day it all became clear, he'd build his own unit and exclaimed "I need a beer!". So off to the shop he went with his books to comb over the engine and have him a look. He schemed and he clammered like a small little troll, and soon yelled out loud "I"ve got the control". So he made all his boxes and set out next day, to deliver controllers to all who shouted "Hip hip Horray".

im no expert, but from what i understand the unichip comes with pre-programmed maps, in in order to customize those maps for your car (which is likly different than everobody elses) you have to take it to a certain place that is certified. the difference is the product being offered here is supposed to be controlled and changed by the user. i believe he said it will come with maps for us that are noobs when it comes to tuning, but the good thing is that we can have complete control over our a/f ratios which seem so out-of whack in msps. but i may be wrong

#1 the UniChip allows you to alter the ignition timing. DSMConvert has said that this option MAY be avaliable in the future.
#2 The UniChip can only be re-mappd/tuned by a certified UniChip tuner
#3 Hopefully price. With the absence of timing control this shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. At least I hope not, since this is just an AFC.
Anyone worried about an AFC being too user controlled probably should not be modifing their cars. Especially since you don't have to worry about adjusting timing! It's just up or down, and make sure you don't run too lean.

DMS told me he started this cause the MSP has a crappy ecu. And that the current ones on the market he felt cost WAY too much for the gains they provided, so he made this :). Car is on dyno now...can't wait lol.

I'm very interested in this too, although I really feel timing issues should be addressed once you start upping the boost. I can't wait to see the adjustments made on the dyno.

Sorry guys no pics but I have the car back!!! This is for you DSM (rockon)
DSM should be sent the info I have from the company soon but the results are really good. In terms of dyno numbers the A/F ratio is very nice and very smooth. It is rediculous to see how the car was setup stock.
The Dyno sheet that will be posted soon has 4 runs. My car stock, With new maps, new maps @ 8 psi, new ,maps @ 10 psi. The sheet is not in front of me but the stock numbers were like 151 hp and 153 lb. The top run added 27 hp at the wheels and 49 lbs or torque. Leaving it at like 178hp and 202lb.
The drivability is AMAZING on this baby. There is no more stuttering, bogging down, bucking, anything like that. I thought a lot of the harshness in the low gears was from the engine mounts but heck no. Most of it was in the nasty ass Mazda Tuning. The car feels butter smooth to drive and makes everything feel smooth and easy. Up/Downshifting is GREATLY improved because the car no longer dips down into that nasty rich to lean change. Now when I shift from 1-2 the car just powers through it. Instead of being pulled into your chain, buck, then pulled into chair again it is nice and smooth. And I mean SMOOTH. I practiced shifting a lot and no matter how good/fast I was it would buck atleast a little, well not anymore.
Power delivery is very smooth too. You can cruise around just as before (with added smoothness of course) and as soon as you get into the turbo range BAM this thing pulls like a mofo. I mean 60 mph comes faster than I imagined lol. I haven't taken it from a dig yet but I bet that 200+ lb feet is gonna be fun :).
I'll answer whatever questions you guys have about this as they come cause I can't think of anything else right now. The first time I got into 4.5k rpm i had an obscene grim on my face and couldn't stop giggling for a few minutes lol.
So long story short I am truly amazed at this product. It is really really really really good. Did I mention it was good? DSM has made something amazing and I hope you allgo and pic it up. Once you see the dyno you guys will see how nice the curves are.
Oh also the dyno was done at like 80* or something like that so it wasn't super cold or anything. Also the 27hp gain (along with the torque graph) is gained throughout the entire RPM range. It's not like some mods that get all their hp gain at the very high rpm's. Once they bump the tuning and psi the entire graph looks exactly the same, just bumps it up 20+ hp :).
Super amazed! Blown away by results! Yippie! I'll try to get pics/post dyno #'s this weekend.
Lets the questions roll.

Also I'd like to add that the turbo spools up much faster and sooner, suprisingly sooner. I think before if I got off the throttle the turkey would comealive around 3.5k or so. Now when i let off at like 2.5k there is a half asleep barely alive turkey there, but it shows its starting to spool up. I guess the fixed ratios and stuff feed the turbo the exhaust it needs faster.
Drove it a lot more and still suprised at how fun it is to drive. Drivability is greatly improved AND if I gun it I can get the tires totally loose in 2nd. YES! (drive)
EvilMSP
11-06-2004, 03:57 AM
Oh and I'm home now the numbers were in fact 151hp/153lb start and 177hp/202lbs @ 10 psi.

Hopefully I can get it scanned and then everyone will see it but basically yeah. It is a lot smoother and the peak HP was like 3 or so more but you gain a few chunks throughout the powerband. There are some parts where the stock dyno would drop a few HP for no reason, and they fix that.

no the 27hp gain he said was at 10psi. At stock boost he said peak horsepower is only up ~4hp, but the graph is completely smooth. The gains at stock boost is in the mid-range.

I was writing down the same stuff Mallard...you beat me to it.
Still, damn good stuff! (would the gains be even better with a downpipe, exhaust, better-than-stock IC (FM or SM)?...chime in guys)

That is what I am drooling over. My car is stock except for the intake but that's not gonna make any dyno difference, well maybe very very little but the DP is always considered the best/easiest upgrade it seems. I thinik it was like 12+ WHP so imagine after the tuning and added boost. I wouldn't be suprised if the graph just raised like 20 hp again lol. That is just how it seems to me though :)
And yes you guys were correct about stock numbers. The peak gain is very slight on HP/LBS but it gains like a max of 10ish throughout the RPM curve at random places. I MIGHT be able to get the sheet scanned today but don't get your hopes up too soon on that. Hopefully DSM will get a copy and be able to post it up himself.

Take note, that 50 ft-lb gain is also after turning up the boost to 10 psi.
As far as your alcohol injection, That's there as an intercooling effect and to prevent detonation. I doubt that would have much, if any, effect on the map. It should just cool off your intake charge more and help you make more power.

Methanol injection works much like water injection, cooling the intake charge and preventing detonation, but the methanol also acts as a fuel, and the extra fuel can cause a rich misfire. Ive been prevent the super richness by running high boost, here is a link to a page and here is the part I stole.
Justin Sykes and MotoRex's Sean Morris spent the night in the Skyline searching for the 65 hp that didn't make it to the dyno test. They quickly tracked the problem to the methanol injection system. Methanol injection works much like water injection, cooling the intake charge and preventing detonation, but the methanol also acts as a fuel, and the extra fuel was causing a rich misfire. Over the course of several clandestine freeway runs, they tightened the plug gap, switched to a 50/50 methanol/water mix, and started turning up the boost. After all, they figured, why give it less fuel when you can just give it more air? On the dyno, they were running 19 psi of boost; by the end of the night, they were up to 25 psi. With a gut-wrenching 7000-rpm clutch dump, Sykes ripped off an 11.99-second quarter mile at 118 mph and did 0-60 in a mere 4.11 seconds. We were impressed; Sykes was still disappointed.

Well if you have your MBC set to 10 psi already, then I guess yes. The stock maps compared to the tuned maps with no PSI may seem like small increases but I bet it counts a lot for the great results seen by upping the boost.
I mean sheesh with all those mods and this chip....that would be crazy lol.

I'd be happy if I could hit low 13's with the stock turbo and my driving skills (or lack thereof). I'm sure fine tuning can get some good HP numbers that could make it possible. I'm still eagerly awaiting more info.

just another novice question, with something like this running at 10 psi, would that be safer then running w/ the stock a/f? I mean drive 14,000 miles and be at less risk or blowin the engine?

Yes that is the whole point. The new A/F maps makes the smoothness and added safety happen. Some people just turn their boost up with no supporting mods or tuning and sometimes they can blow their engines. Perhaps they drop into the Lean section of the curve you will see later, floor it, then boom boom goes the zoom zoom.
Also I'd like to add that the dyno will also have a 8 psi curve. And the HP was only like 6 less and the lbs was like 9-10 (sheet not in front me of mow). So it 10 scares you putting it down to 8 is super easy and the losses are not that great.
