Hey guys
I had some spare time after work so i threw my car on our dyno to compare my OEM Ecu vs Mugen N1 Ecu
The vehicle tested is a DC2R with I/H/E
First impressions driving around the block with the mugen ecu, at WOT from idle, throttle response is so much better, and you can feel the extra torque early before vtec (cuts in 4700rpm). I do feel that vtec does cut in a bit too soon, and the graph shows it, you can certainly feel the moderate drop in power until 5200rpm roughly. But shortly after, the boost in power and torque makes up for the early switch over into vtec land, by gaining (give or take) 10kw at 5500-5700rpm. From there on power and torque is gradually and smoothly increasing.
I havent had the time (damn weather) to really go for a good drive yet to give my 2c worth, yet.
I can't thank Steve (rG') enough for letting me borrow this ecu to play around with
I'd be interested if any other forum members are running this ecu and getting their opinions
Thanks for reading
Steve
Ps. we had a small problem with our dyno, so the readings are a bit low in comparison with previous runs, as you can see "inlet temperature" was 19degrees and went as low as 15! Hardly believable when ambient temp was 24 at the time lol.
