Nemesis ECU Tuning
and While the peak hp improvement numbers are what
people "look at", the biggest difference in EC997 dyno tuning (over
simplistic Dynojet dyno tuning) is that with the EC997's low inertia
and the realtime HP readout, we can adjust the fueling at part
throttle cruise, fuel and ignition to what the engine actually
"wants", rather than tuning to a so-called "AFR" that it's "supposed
to want". With the proven philosophy of "tuning to Best Power and Engine Smoothness" and experience with over 30 different FI tuning programs, we can make just about every bike run better than "AFR" tuning and can definitely make better custom maps than simply dropping in a "pre-mapped" DP ECU. With Tuneboy Software and Nemesis or Microtec
ECU's, you can buy that non-Ducati exhaust system and eliminate the
need for the DP ECU. |

The extension of the laboratory
for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed
in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940).
He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after
the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar
to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal
use but well preserved. Edited to the tunes of Chemical Residue by Herbie Hancock. |
