Booster Plug Mod

How's about this to add to your (and the rest of us) list? Looks quite the biz, got this through the DuN site..

https://www.boosterplug.com/shop/boo...ster-308p.html

Could be tempted myself if it wasn't for the nice man at Customs..

By the time you have paid for customs, fitted it yourself or get some one to fit it for you, it would have been far easier and not much more to send you ecu to Neil at Cornerspeed, have him Rexxer flash it and have better results.

That Booster Plug mod is interesting but, as Chris says, for the money, a Rexxer remap is better value as it also disables the lambdas and exhaust valve.

There's no real information on the Booster Plug site to suggest how it works but, looking at the installation instructions, I have a theory.

The closed loop system (i.e. when the lambdas control the fuelling) only operates once the engine is up to temperature. This is because you'd never get a cold engine to start and run on the weak lambda mixture (14.7 to 1 air/fuel ratio). I think the ECU uses the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor to decide when to switch to closed loop, rather than the oil temperature (incidentally, the Rexxer remap allows you to read the IAT on the dash).

The Booster Plug is installed between the standard IAT sensor and the ECU. It also comes with a second external air temperature probe (the NTC sensor), which must be mounted in cool air away from engine heat.

My guess is that the unit uses this NTC sensor to fool the ECU into thinking that the engine is always below the temperature at which it switches to closed loop and so the lambdas are ignored.

Anyone else got any theories?

I think it might be the flux capacitor that makes time travel possible:-

So I won the princely sum of £25 on the Premium Bonds last month and was wondering what to do with it; pay off the mortgage maybe? Or boost the pension fund? So I did what any sensible Ducati owner would do and blew it on some unnecessary goodies from Desmoworld!

I bought a set of their 'Superslim' allen screws for the tank cover http://www.desmoworld.com/shop/ducat...-m1100evo.html

As the name suggests, they have a slimmer, more rounded head than the originals and so look less obtrusive, especially with the carbon cover. They also have a collar machined into them, which removes the need for the separate 'top hat' spacers, which always drop out when I remove the tank panels.



Spot the difference...!





Ok, so no one but me is going to notice them, but I like them.

That's what I like about Desmoworld, Chris, they always have something I don't need tempting me to spend money I don't have!

They look good. My carbon vani stuff needed them on my 1100s back in the day. They were poorly made around the bolt holes tbh.

More spending!

A pair of Brembo Serie Oro discs and sintered SA pads from WSC Performance (email simon@wscperformance.co.uk).

Can't comment on their performance though, as I've not ventured out onto the salty roads yet this year.

Stuck with stock discs, just changed the calipers (898) and pads for SBS track day pads.
