I took an ied apart and I notice that they solder the resisters on the web site that tell’s how to make the ied says not to use solder. Mine came from nightrider. When I put on the ieds I did not notice a difference in horse power or cooler but when I replaced my pipes the inside of the old pipe had a nice brown color to it. Does anybody have a dyno run with the ied or xied all you would have to do is hold the throttle a 3000 and see what the meter says

You do know you opened up a six month old thread. If you go back and read it you'll learn why a dyno with the IED or XiED is a waste of time. Look at number 30 specifically. In the tuner section of this forum there is a thread that is about the longest I've ever seen. You can spend a couple days just trying to figure it out but in the end the IED only works in closed loop. Open loop starts at about half throttle and since dyno's use full throttle it wouldn't tell you what the IED is doing.

I think you are wrong, and I can prove it. I have a dyno run with a stage one download no ied. With this dyno run that I tried to post, you can see that the ecm kept the afr around 14.6; This is a wide open throttle dyno run. It should have got a lot richer but it did not. I think that if you could fool the ecm to run richer it would bring this down to about 14.2 The problem is I have no proof to see if this is true. That is why I would like to see a dyno run (wide open throttle) with the ied. Have you seen one and was it lower than 14.7?

Do you have any idea of the difference between a "closed loop" system and an "open loop" system ? .... The O2 sensors do not control the fuel at full throttle ......

Yes I know all about closed loop and open loop and I think it is a great idea. But why is the bike running so lean at wide open throttle. Look at the dyno run it can not lie. The closed loop there is nothing you can do to richen it but maybe with the ides’ they are other things but for under a $100. you can’t beet it. the question is do they work have you seen a dyno that can proved it all you would have to do is put it in 3rd and hole the throttle at 3000 rpm for about 15 seconds and see what the dyno machine say’s has anyone seen this if you have not the ied could be a rip off
