The 996 I bought a few weeks ago has 'fluffy' fuelling, occasionally baulking at mid rpms on throttle opening and sounding little flat when blipping throttle on downchanges. Seems to be worse on Normal vs Super Unleaded Fuel. The bike is fitted with 50mm Slip on Carbon Termis but is otherwise standard. I popped the cap off the ECU this evening and there is a chip inside labelled 996 SPS.........so is this the problem? It seems like the 996 Bip with 50mm Slip Ons should be running on a 965025AAA Chips like this? Ducati 996 Eprom Chip 965025AAA Ø 50 Silencers,SLIP-ON E... Any advice gratefully received.
The SPS EPROM will be all wrong. It ran a P8 ECU with sequential injectors. Yours is on a 1.6M which fires both injectors together. JHP do decent eproms. Make sure you get it set up as well. It's not plug and play....we'll not to get the best from it.
I am amazed that it runs at all then........Seems that the later SPS were supplied with the 1.6M ECU, which is the ECU fitted to my bike, but as you say the chip won't be doing my fuelling any favours. After a chip fit what set up is required. With my KTM the 'TuneECU' software available enables a tuner/dyno guy to be able to custom tweak the map in the ECU. Is the same true of the chips in the 1.6M ECU?
I'd try a chip and tune first, then you could poss go the Power Commander / Dyno route or Custom Map, depends how much you want to spend.
Pretty sure none of the SPS ran the 1.6M....... Set up would be check and adjust TPS, balance throttle and set idle mixtures. Like Nelso says, you can go further with a bespoke chip tune or PC. Another useful direction is to go single injector. Disconnect one injector on each throttle and use a 916 OP eprom and maybe a PC to tweak the fuelling if needed. Had some good results from that.
Ok I think I am getting the tuning hints now Seems TPS, Idle Mixture are likely to need tweaking. Anyone got recommendations for a Ducati specialist in the Preston Lancs area?
