DIY ECU Interceptor
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2009 11:23 am
Hi All,
After a few mods on my GR, I am thinking of getting an ECU Interceptor for a bit of fine tuning. My problem is, they are all expensive. Being a software/hardware Engineer, I am thinking of making my own.
I believe I can put together an Interceptor kit for the FTO that will modify the air/fuel ratio in open loop mode and the ignition timing using a laptop and nice windows software for about $100. I am thinking the kit will only kick in when the engine is warm and settled so as to avoid cold/warm start issues.
My first question is, if I do this, would their be people interested in buying a 'solder up your own' Interceptor kit for this sort of price?
Secondly, are there members out there with tuning experience that would contribute knowledge to the project regarding how the interceptor should work (ie which signals should be monitored / modified) and how the windows software should look so that dyno tuning places will actually work with it?
