I must say that this is one of the best colors that I have ever seen for a Murcielago. I think it is Monterey Blue but I will have to confirm. This Murcielago was driven from Seattle, WA to EVOMS 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.

We will post more details and videos shortly. Here are some pictures of some of the car, dyno testing and ECU's.

 

Truly stunning!

 

Blu ely maybe?? Looks sick!!

 

I'm looking at this from my pda, but I don't think that's Monterey. It looks a little to light. For reference, the car in my avatar is Monterey. Good to know you guys will have all the data, and a program for earlier Murc's. With the economy in its current state, I'm sure there will be a lot more of the 02 / 03's exchanging hands!

 

Good work. The color is Blu Ely BTW.

 

It's Blue Ely...not Monterey Blue

 

Yes, that car belongs to John a goof friend of mine here in Seattle..

He currently has it sale with us via conisgment...but may change his mind after this work that has been completed.

Thanks for the info on the color. It did look a bit light to be Monterey Blue. The color is absolutely stunning in person. I will post more photos and details later.

 

good god gumpert! How or why do you have an Apollo there, it's not in for tuning is it?!

 

Very cool to see it in person just as we were leaving... Great color but even better tune:P

 

Saw the car a few days ago, and loved it! Here are a few photos that I took of it, and also with a yellow gallardo next to it.

 

I was wondering who was going to notice the Apollo Good spot. Here is what is happening with the Apollo. I will post more details about the Gumpert in another thread. You can hear the Lambo in the background on the dyno in this video. Thanks!

Sweet pictures. Thanks for posting them.
