Coulda swore to god that I posted an update a day or two ago...
I think it got deleted because of the link to Diablo Autosport's description of the product. By the way, still no problem with the emulator and it has already been 2 month and one thousand+ miles of almost daily driving since I had it install.

Sweet! Looks like its a winner.

Before others start buying these and just putting them in. This seems like a pretty quick swap out mod. Can we get a proper dyno before and after on an NA car?(proper is resetting the ecu before each run)

I know its time & money which are both very valulable. Maybe UL can run this mod on his dyno sometime.

No matter what I will be doing this mod in the future!

Pinky, why would the simulator make ANY difference in dyno results? All the simulator does is prevent a MIL. The MIL does NOT generate any conservative ignition algorythms, so there's not going to be any loss of power with or without it. It's only a warning to indicate problems with the catalytic converter (which probably isn't there, if you're buying the simulator in the first place).

Just stating a FACT!
If somebody is not willing to do such a task.(I know sombody who will do this on a FI car) Then please give a detailed writeup on your feelings. And your BUTT Dyno results!

Approximations of where the power is felt. All over, 2-4K, 7-9K and so on. Simply is it worth the $$$ Seems like it probably is...........considering an exaust of 1500 gives you 3HP!

http://www.diabloautosports.com/pro...roducts_id=2198 this should work. it doens't use the 555r timer. it's more like a processer that replicates the senors as if there was a good cat installed. haven't tried it yet but i think someone who posted did.
