Need your thoughts on ECU dump - LotusTalk

ksp3c · 07-24-2009, 01:55 PM

Not too familiar with ECU scan reading... This is for 2008 Exige S 240 with 1800 or so miles. Is there anything on here that I should be worrying about?? Experts please chime in on this as I'm about to close the deal. TIA

8800rpm does seem a bit high, but if the car has not been tracked, I imagine that's just the rev limiter, and not from downshifts/missed gears.

Where do you see 8800rpm logged?? sorry, I'm kinda new to this...

Near the top of the chart.

This doesn't look too bad to me.

Oh... I thought that was the maximum RPM for the car and not the actual data logged for this vehicle. What is the actual redline?

ksp3c · 07-24-2009, 03:04 PM

is there anything on this ecu scan that will void warranty??

buzzy · 07-24-2009, 03:06 PM

So those max rpm's do look high, when my first ECU dump was done at the first service mine was showing similar and I picked the car up with 8 delivery miles on the clock.

That said, with the fastest 0-60 of 25sec and a throttle never over 80% it looks ok to me.

YMMV I'm no expert though...

No. There's no standing start data, also its debatable if anyones warrantee has actually been voided for standing starts - I've never heard of a case. If someone has please post a link.

hmmm..that's very odd considering you've only had 8 delivery miles on a new car. maybe I'm not interpreting this data correctly???

bueno · 07-24-2009, 03:29 PM

OP, Everything looks fine and if you're purchasing from a reputable Lotus dealer, there should be no cause for concern.

I've only seen one ECU dump with a 0-60 that wasn't 25sec.

and never seen one that showed more than 80% throttle.

Just as a FYI.

Even mine, which was tracked, showed no time above 80% throttle... so consider 80% the same as 100%, in most cases.

charliex · 07-24-2009, 04:51 PM

call lotus usa and ask for the warranty dept.

The ECU dump I had done last week shows 3'3"47.0s for 80-100% throttle.

I wonder why the 0-60 speeds are always 25s. ECU recording error?

Uncle Sam · 09-08-2009, 12:57 PM

Disclaimer: I am not an expert. Isn't 8500 the redline on a 240 Exige?

Somebody had 20 or so minutes of high revving fun at the 16 hour mark which is at about 400 miles.

I wouldn't count on warranty if there is an out.

Did I mention I was not an expert?
