I know horsepower can not be made out of thin air.... However it can be made out of thin air and a smidge more fuel. If one where to remove the restrictor more fuel must be added. that's where the 800$ ecu or 300$ fuel programmer come in, or are they really needed?
This summer I picked up a 2004 Suzuki 1000 fuel injected bike that is notoriously lean from the factory. (lots of dead spots, and stumbles in the mid plus a nuedered top end) Instead of buying an expensive fuel programmer I went to radioshack and bought a 2$ potentiometer and wired it in place of the air temp sensor .by setting the pot to 10kohms it mimics 20 degree(f) air tempature and turned the bike into a smooth running monster. when it reaches above 80 I turn the pot back to 4.5k ohms to mimic 50 degree air.
Now I'm going to do the same thing with my f75. I'm already running to big of a prop. the boat is a 2008 17 foot triumph skiff. it's 8' wide heavy and flat. with the 3 blade 13x15 it ran 37 at 5300. I wrecked that prop and got a smoking deal on a 13x17 four blade and the boat hits 35 at 5000. I like the handling much better. the boat needs more power so I am going to yank the plate and Bypass the intake air temp sensor with a homemade fuel con*****er. does' any body know the resistance values temp/ohms of the Yamaha's Iat?
