Today was the maiden race with my first prototype R15 ECU. While the entire grid was running their respective works and setups, I only had my magic box to showcase the whole track and nothing fancy. The bike clad in a matt-black paint job, was the target for every rider to chase. After most knowing what I've been cooking over the last few weeks, it was quite clear to most that I was going for it for sure. The grid had the highest ever Group D entries - A whooping 36 bikes. And every rider wants to win the race.
Lights off and the ECU equipped bike with Sarath on board, simply rocketed away. With a lead of nearly 3 secs per laps and a difference of nearly 15 secs through the 7 laps race from the second finisher, the message was clear. The bike was pulling speeds effortlessly and recorded the fastest laptime ever done by a Group D race bike at the Chennai motor circuit. 2:09. The bike which finished 2nd did just under 2:12.
The ECU talks for itself. Also our very own Killer has his own experience to share since he was also in the race on a bike which was prepared in a jiffy and yet managed a 4th place finish in race 1.
Looking forward for race 2 tomorrow.

Next up, is a fuel efficiency test next week. I'm 99% sure, its already about 5% more fuel efficient over a stock ECU on a stock bike with the extra power. From my road tests and abusive 0-100 tests, it seems more fuel efficient and after logging AFRs v/s stock, its clearly evident. This is going to be ultimate package for a stock spec R15.
1.2 secs quicker to 100kph on bone stock bike with the ECU alone.

I was just eager to know

Will a joel'd R15 be able to beat Ninja? :P

Yes, I think Joel had mentioned before that his re-worked R15 can eat Ninja 250 and CBR250RR.

Also, we are working to make my 220 dtsi beat Ninja 250 which is already modified by him.

If it is Joel, anything is possible.

CBR250RR. There is day and night difference between CBR250R and the extra R on CBR250RR, google up or youtube.

A stock Ninja does 0-100kph in 8.5 secs as per my test. I dont trust any magazine figs. My R15 does 0-100kph in 7s. An R15 with my bigbore and my exhaust alone with a stock ECU also posts 0-100kph in 9.2 secs.
Head work + street cam + bigbore + exhaust - around early 8 secs
Add ECU to the above package and you are already licking under 8 secs.
Which is still faster than a Ninja with a Two brothers exhaust. The CBR250R is way slower than a Ninja 250 itself.
The R15's edge is its amazing power to weight ratio.

Whats really interesting is the fact that a stock R15 propels to 100kph nearly 1.5 secs quicker with my custom ECU. As said earlier elsewhere, I m expecting a bump of nearly 5% rise in fuel efficiency atleast.

Looks like one of the best performance to price ratio one can get for a bike for around 1L+...R15 looks closer to perfection now..
And your work has convinced me more than anything to go for an R15...
a lot of people will owe their gratitude to you..just add me now..in advance
