Tuning the PAPA Smurf Murcielago
I must say that this is one of the best colors that I have ever seen for a Murcielago. This Blu Ely Murcielago was driven from Seattle, WA to EVOMSit for some upgrades to the ECU and some other goodies. The owner has and continues to enjoy this car and the odometer would confirm this. With almost 19,000 miles, this Murcielago gets its fair share of exercise and now it will run with some more power.
We did some extensive dyno testing and tuning on this Murcielago over the past few weeks and I will share the results later on in this post. Since this is an early production Murcielago, the ECU's are a previous generation EFI/Campi/Lamborghini controller which differ from the later 04 and newer model ECU's. We have tuned all of the late generation Gallardo's & Murcielago's but none as early as this car.
After some extensive ECU disassembly, we had to create and test a checksum calculator to work with this type of EPROM data organization. After getting the checksum figured out, it was time to create and test some upgraded mapping and extract some more power from the engine. We tested various ignition changes, fuel setting and load tables to optimize the engines efficiency and generate more power. We are finishing up the final tuning this weekend and we will test the increased rev limiter early next week. Based on the initial testing, we anticipate the final calibration to produce a power gain of more than 20 wheel HP/TQ with a rev limit 300-400 RPMS higher than the stock 7500 RPM limiter.
