It's Friday and now for something a little different... Yes it's Italian but it's got German guts and ECUs and it's @ SharkWerks. With some help from the EVOMSit crew we set about eking out some more power from this nicely set up 2005 Lamborghini Gallardo.

In she comes for surgery (and there's another Italian car there too!):


And another Italian car..


There are actually two ECU's (one per bank) located behind the driver and passenger seat underneath the carpet tray. They are very easy to remove and this can be done in a matter of minutes. Here's the passenger side:


And here's the driver's side:


Each ECU is embossed just in case it ends up in a Lotus Elise (same ECU) parts bin


With the ECU's out it's over to the BenchFlash table. This is where we bring all incoming ECUs for Porsche, Ferrari and Lambo when you guys mail them in:


This proprietary tool allows us to literally download your stock file and upload a tuned file in minutes for these cars. It has all sort of neat checksum and other verifications to make sure that the tuned file is ready/correct before we install or Fedex/UPS other ECUs out:


And back go the ECU's with the EVOMSit performance software installed:




A 911 driver going for a test drive:


And ready to go home:



But then it's back to what we always do in case you think we'd gone all mad here... At the same time in came a 2001 996TT for an OBDII EVOMSit Stage 1 flash:


The end result for a Gallardo (shown in Egear as this was a 6speed) is a bump in HP (28) and TQ (22):


If you have any questions or want to send in your ECUs feel free to email me to alex@sharkwerks.com or check out the product page.

 

That is quite a setup you have there!!!!

 

Thank you very much

 

Nice. So whats the verdict on the tuned lambo Alex? Worth swapping the 3 for?

 

Hehe no comment:P


Well ok... so it felt pretty numb/disconnected in terms of the throttle. The software really did give it better response and although nothing like on a TT the added horsies were useful. There's a nice flat spot that gets nuked in the process too

I must admit I'm not a huge Lambo fan. I like my GT3's
