This is my first post - so go easy on me

I'm using a VRP pulley and Evosport stage 1 programming. All I can say is WOW!

After saying that - has anyone ever got the message "ESP Malfunction, visit workshop", after the installation?

I've done the battery disconnect - no change.

Thanks

try putting the car in dyno mode then take it out see if the error goes away. sounds like something unrelatedto the upgrade?

Maybe see if the tuner can pull some codes for you?

um i am looking at the dyno slip and cant see it right, what was ur max hp/tq?

tkracing

I believe it was 433hp 512tq.

Sounds about right. When I had a tune and pulley it was just about the same.
Welcome and enjoy your ride.

Zod

that is bad! those numbers are stock numbers , good ones yes but stil stock. pulley + tune gives u 40-50hp!

They do seem a little on the low side for ecu and pulley. I dynoed at 425RWHP / 495RWTQ W/ just the VRP Intake.. Did u have a baseline dyno.

tkracing

Why is it bad? I thought average stock #'s were about 411rwhp, 476rwtq stock.

Also I am yet to see true 40 to 50hp gains from a ECU tune and pulley. Do you have any dyno of a before and after showing these gains?

Vadim @ FD

What brand of dyno was it?

tkracing

Dynojet 248H.

Vadim @ FD

No. I had Dynojet and this is not it.

Base dyno looks very low at around 380RWHP.

tkracing

Sorry, I meant mine was Dynojet... Not sure what that one is.

It was on a Mustang Dynamometer. There are baseline numbers on the chart - 392 Hp and 416 Tq. I guess these are a little on the low side, but I'm glad theres a good improvement. Still worth the money - I'm still getting the ESP Malfunction - mostly when it spins the wheels at 100 km/h. I'm wondering if its got something to do with the -10 deg. temp and making more power then the transmission ECU is expecting.

p.s. I hope this appears as a reply...

if you turn off esp does the error still come up?

voicesurfr

Yes - with or without ESP. I have since found out from powerchips - that its a 2006 issue and they do have a fix, so Monday I'll be sending my ECU back for a re flash. Should have some results Wed.

Zod

go do a search on the E55 forums, many people just have ASP pulley and have gains of 40-50 hp.

You are a 2006 model though and there has been talk about these models not working (getting worse) results with tune from older models. I belive Vadim or Adam are the people you need to talk to

AdamG@NorCal

So did Powerchip fix the issue?

voicesurfr

Yes, they have a fix. I will be sending my ECU back to them on Monday and should have some results on Wed.

StealthAuto

Excellent! I'm sure you will be taken care of

OK - good luck.
