I'm fitting 999 bodies shower head set up to my 996 ,I know the TPS is not the same set up ,can I get it to work with the 996 loom and ecu it's the smaller ecu box ,withsignal injected chip fitted any help would be great
The TPS will be an issue. The 999 uses a linear TPS and the 996 uses a non-linear. I think the voltage ranges of the TPS's differ.
Just seen a way to get round ,just removed the 999 TPS ,I'll cut back housing and make bracket to fit 996 TPS
do you expect to see an increase in power / performance? Would something from the 748R not be better suited?
996 tb set up correctly (all injectors firing together) is good for 140 bhp and high 70s ft/lb torque.
I'd go and ask the racer how to do it and what the real benefit is. I've spent a bit (read A WHOLE FUCKING LOT!) of time and money buggering about with 996s and can't see that all the hassle will get you better gains than setting a standard bike up and mapping it properly. I had between 138-144hp (different dynos) with bog standard heads and throttle bodies. There's a few better routes to take if you wanted to improve breathing and all would just bolt off/on.
I'm an engineer by trade so mod is easy to me ,iv taken advice of a racer ,this mod 999 to 998 is a common mod ,I took his advice that it will work with the 996 and to be honest i enjoy modding bike parts so no hassle
I'm not one to spill beans of who give the info ,not being Arsey it's just info ,and I think it will work with the set up I have
It will be interesting to see the results. On my 853r I eventually ended up using 996 throttle bodoes (4 injector type) configured to fire the injectors simultaneously. The shower head set up couldnet match for midrange torque and only gave 1-2bhp more. Part throttle response was also better with the 996tb's. I never tried 999tb's, though I did have a set sat on the shelf for a try at some point.
If you check out my bike you'll notice i like the odd modification too, and I've lost months trying to do things i wanted only to make things no better or worse and have to go down the recognised correct route. IMO I doubt it'll run as well as standard but i think you're the first on here posting about it so keep us informed. Some before and after dyno graphs would be nice too.
Have dyno with shit fueling 121 rw bhp ,I'll have it maped with these on and see the out come ,the logic is my loom is 996s loom so only one crank pic up ,so going singel shower set up was the plan ,998 set was an idea but iv got with 999 due to bigger throttel bodies It is a more involved mod ,TPS ,blending bodies to 996 inlets ,linkage and stabalsing plate ,bit of an air box mod ,but I do have Rs 4 part are box ,I'll fit the front section to allow the mod I'll post pics on my fade book page Simon George as I do it
