FREE MODIFIED ECM'S

[Archive]

Yeah, you read that correctly.

FREE MODIFIED ECM's

Marco, our Italian friend, is offering to modify a few ECM's for free to have some testing done here in the States.

All the info can be found on the Forum found on the following webpage:
www.wwcd2.com

Hope you are as excited about this as I am.

Good Luck

<font color=blue>Actually no you won't have to send your ECM to Italy.

Yes its risky, but its gonna be tested. Don't wanna try it? Then don't.....

If I try it and it breaks..... it breaks... I'll fix it. Wheres the problem?

GO FOR IT KAT! you can be the guineakat for the TDR. And reread Marco's offer if you can be without your truck for sometime, I will modify your ecm as quick as possible?

Read the rest of the post... ... Details are still being worked out. My truck is a toy, nuthing more. Hence I am gonna play with it #ad
I am not after a Free ECM from him.

Kat,
Right On!

Marco has already tried this on his truck and tested it pretty thoroughly.....

I am more than willing to take a chance.

We didn't get where we are now by watching the world pass us by.

Anything worth having has a price to be paid or a risk to be taken... .

AMEN!

Bob Wagner sez:
only one catch. you must send your ecm to italy to be modified. kinda risky

Did you ever consider the fact that behind the name Marco you read stands a man?
I can understand that you'd be caution about any new product, that's OK.
What I don't find correct is your arrogance!
NO, we're not all bank robbers or Mafiosi here in Italy.
Anyway thanks for your consideration!
Marco.

<font color=blue>Your right Bob, hence I am editing this post. [Edited], needs to be a Live and Let Live type of situation... .

Agree?

I edited this post rather then deleting it!

Truce? ???? What do ya say Bob?<font size=-2>

What's that " K " stuff??

My truck has cost me 65K to get it here.
This was before the modifications. I've spent more than 50K on the ECM thing, this is without counting my time.
This isn't the point.
Point is that someone knows less about LIFE than I've forgotten about it.
Now let me tell it kindly in my language!
Va a farti fottere stronzo!
Let's see if the filter can stop this one.
Marco.
P. S. If you're sensible Bob ( I don't think so) don't translate it.

Marco the "K" stuff is a abbriviation we use over here. I don't know if you know it or not. 31k = 31,000. 40k = 40,000.

Does that make sense? If I am telling you something you already know then please forgive me. I know english is not your "first" language.

Truce! Yes! #ad

been out of town for a few... I would like to be involved in this but need a '01 ETH/DEE ECM. . Anyone know of a wrecked rig in their area let me know... need a spare one so rig will not be down while being flashed. .

Marco have you got the numbers on a ETH yet. . don't know if you have had a chance to play on one yet. .

If anyone in northern California is interested in this ECM BOMBing, I have one of Marco's modified ECM's that needs proper testing. I'll pay for the dyno time. The goal is to provide data for Marco to optimize the maps in the ECM for our Rams. What I am interested in is a 5-speed truck from which we can extrapilate a full rpm horsepower and torque graph. I tested the ECM on an automatic with typical roller coaster graph results. Not very valuable.

If you got one that will work with a 6 speed I'll give it a try #ad

WOW, Nowel is back!

I don't know what you're thinking to do. Let me give you an advice, don't do it!

Yes I know, most people on this list consider you a hero.
Maybe it's better that " I " update all about what's going on before someone else put's the facts into a wrong perspective.

I've contacted Nowel in September asking if he would like to be my partner in the States. He said YES. I've made clear that he would have had to test the ECM's. He said YES. He has send me two ECM's for modifications. I've send him back ONE.
(The other one is still in my hands)
I said test it!
Ok, to make a long story short, I'm still waiting for an answer. All that he's been able to do, is making me waste my time AND money.
What is he doing here NOW?????

A short story about the ECM he has.
Nowel, did you really believe that I would have send you a GOOD file the first time?

Do you think that I would have handed over all my knowledge and hard work without having you ever met?
I would have send you a good file with the second ECM, since I got no real answer this never happend, nor will it ever!
Stop acting!
I don't now what's going on in your mind...
Do whatever you want, but do it somewhere else!

I've alsways told Nowel that I have never seen an ETH ECM. Isn't it strange that right now someone asks if I've got the numbers off an ETH?
Yes, I have several ETH files here.
Yes, I know how to modify the speed limiter.
Yes, I know how to lower the EGT's.
Yes, I know how to modify the boost limiter.
Yes, I can do a 98-99-00-01 ECM.

Marco.

P. S. There are already 14 Cummins powered trucks with a modifyed ECM on Italy's roads.
( 15 with mine)

boy , its getting hot in here ...

marco , i understand your point of being cautious about handing over all your hard work to someone you have never met , but i myself think it would be a bit hard to get a true evalution of what your program can do if you sent over a , i assume , slightly flawed program ? not trying to get on your bad side , just curious .

as far as dyno usage type , is a dynojet ok , or do we need to get on something like a mustang dyno ?

hears another silly question , i assume that you don't see any problem with what you are doing as it being put out right here for cummins and DC to see ?

Marco... then have you found someone here in the usa to handle this for you? I am not interested in starting a business, but could sure use the 350hp with lower EGTs. Let me know thru email if I can be of some assistance to get this going over here or in the northwest.

As a Ford guy looking in, I have a couple of questions. My eyes haven't glazed over and I'm not drooling like I bet most Cummins folks are right now. Who doesn't like more power without egt increase? #ad


But I have a few questions.

1. Why hasn't anyone else bombed an ecm yet? Surely there is someone in the states that has the same technical know how and equipment. I'm not taking anything away from Marco's work, but I have a hard time believing he is the only on in the whole world that can do this.

2. How can you add more fuel without egt rise on a stock truck? Surely to run the 350 or 400 hp programs you need a bigger exhaust, etc... I'm just curious about that, if Marco could answer that question for me I'd appreciate it. Very interesting stuff.

3. Why hasn't HVAC replied back to this thread to defend himself? Makes a guy wonder.

4. Why can't someone do cool stuff like this with the Powerstroke??? #ad


I'm not bashing Marco's work, I'm just curious.

Quad, the problem with the TST rewrites was that they were using an existing Cummins program as I understand it. I think it was a copyright issue.

I guess I have to answer your questions for what I'm able.

1)Don't know why none else does it. Maybe it's harder to BOMB a Cummins ECM than a Ford?
2)The trick is in the Air/Fuel ratio, timing is also important. When I rise the boost I add only that much fuel that can be efficently burned. More fuel and the EGT'S get out off control.
With the Cummins, 350 is the limit with the "stock" engine. The only mod needed to get there is a set of better injectors.
To reach higher Hp levels major changes are needed. ( Mostly the turbo)

4) I have done the same stuff to a Ford. Who says that it can't be done? The engine I've seen, had that fancy Common Rail system with the pump in the injectors. It's even easyer to Bomb a Ford than a Cummins.

Hope this helps.
