Kit ECU Review on 2008 zx-10r

Hi,

Today, I put my bike on the dyno to tune it for the track season.

Mods are:

Kite ECU
full Arata Exhaust
new spark plugs
race filter
-1,+2 sprokets

First of all, Thanks to a felow member on this forum (Daxenox) who gave me his map. I use it as a base map and saved a lot of time. (if someone is interested, just send me a PM and I will share it...

Before the kit ECU the bike was doing 169,2 hp and 80,7 tq at the back wheel. This mourning, I did 186,2 @ 12 250 rpm and 88,5 tq @ 9000 rpm . I was expecting near 180 and I'm really happy with the result. Both run where made on the same dyno by the same technician.

this is a 16,9 hp and 7,8 tq gain only by the ECU
The full Exhaust gave me a 15 hp gain last year over stock.

I found that the software was easy enough to work with despite the fact that it's a bit "old School"... Once you figure out how to read and write to the ECU, you're on the right track...

For those who want to get one of these, be sure to have a good technician to program it or find someone with a good enough map for you to start with...
If I had to start with the 0 map I could be still tuning it right now...

the kit ecu is:

Very good for track day rider or racer
good for the aggressive street rider or big time enthusiastic rider
not worth the money for normal rider.

if you can do a diagnostic run on your bike and don't wanna play with the set up later, go for the reflash. If you were thinking about the race conversion (Dynotronics or Guhl), I would say you'd rather buy the kit ecu...

If you have questions about the kit ECU, feel free to PM me. (installation, tuning, options available, etc.)

I hope it would help some of you out there.

and if it works great for you, you can rep it :)

wow, I may do this. What's the difference between a race converted ecu and the actual race ecu?

Actually, I think that the dynotronics is the exact same thing but you won't have the sub harness for switches and quick shifter.


The kit ecu is used by kawasaki Racing team. The conversion use stock ecu. they drill holes and you also have to deal with shipping of your stock ecu.

The kawasaki stuff is for sure good stuff :D

None... You can buy the subharness separately.

You can always buy new kit ECU for 570 $ or so and the programming cable from Lello and still have something to sell when the time comes.
