Yes, you would have needed a map after fitting the induction kit.....

 

Anyone good you would recommend, in Kent perhaps...?

 

Simon (JGM)

 

Simon will be fine. He sometimes maps at SRR...

 

Oh right - the chap at Surrey Rolling Road mentioned him. How much should it cost approx do you think...?

 

£350 if you already have the ecutek licence, probably cheaper if you take it back to where it was originally done so they can tweak the existing map rather than starting with a new one..

 

Long way up to RC ....

(watch out for the cut-n-shut merchants next door too :biggrin

CHEEKY!
:mob:

 

does anyone else agree that it may be over-fuelling that is causing the odd torque curve..?

 

That fuel curve is definately too rich, mine drops off at the top end but yours is below lambda reading.

I would suspect that the more aggressive airflow past the MAF sensor is messing things up a bit, surely it would be better economy to replace the stock airbox, seeing as it was mapped with that in place, they are good for nearly 400bhp...

The curve is very wavy too, was it mapped on the rollers or road?

OK thanks for confirming.

Seems a bit retrograde to take an "upgrade" off. I know opinion is divided on air intake methods, but as the car is doing c15 BHP over what it's predicted to do with a panel filter I think I stick with the induction kit and get the torque up to match.

Pass. RC developments.

 

Now you are showing your age Pete! LOL....

Did you get those EL headers to make it quieter too!?










........I know I did

 

Am I correct in thinking all you have is the induction kit? If that is the case then, yes, your results are quite good considering...... I think Litchfield quote 300/300 with just a remap.

Not quite:
1. Walbro fuel pump/regulator
2. Apexi AVC-R
3. Zero Sports Induction kit / Intake pipe
4. Zero sports high pressure rad cap (1.3)
5. Zero Sports Intercooler hose
6. RC Developments custom stainless steel exhaust system
7. Ecutek remap

So basically just an exhaust & a remap is what's making the majority of the difference over standard. The AVC-R maybe allows a more accurate control over boost etc and is nice to look at (ooooo look at the pretty dials), but the rest is just fluff in real terms.

 

Is it a turbo back exhaust?

 

Sorry for showing my ignorance, but what does that mean...? It sounds nice and is a pretty colour so it fulfils most of my criteria :biggrin:

 

was it changed from the turbo all the way to the back or was it just the midpipe & back ?

ie is the downpipe cat still in place ....

Sorry did "it sounds nice and is pretty" not give you a big enough hint that I'm a retard...? You'll be wanting me to go and have a look in a minute !!

 

How much of the exhaust is new... is it the tail pipe end (back box). Or from the catalytic converter back (cat back), or all the way to the turbo (big red thing under your bonnet...makes twinky noises when hot) - turbo back...

I assume it was a CAT back...

 

You would need a de-cat or a sports cat to release those potential ponies, so if it was cat back you have a bottleneck there...

 

I shall pose the Qu to RC Dev then and see what they say.

When you say to release those ponies do you mean to get the extra Torqueees...?

Just had a look under the back on the car (all I can do without moving it)and can see new pipe all the way as far as I can see.

 

AFAIK It's cat back.
Don't think they do a Downpipe as of yet

 

Just lift the bonnet and look behind the turbo, if there is a 3 inch pipe going all the way down under the car then it's turbo back, if the pipe has a massive bulge in it then it's a cat back...

 

Lift the bonnet.? It goes up..????

OK now I am joking.....

 

Hi all,

I have the same RC mods the exhaust is custom made centre cat is removed but the down pipes stay standard so retaining there cat.

cheers charlie.

 

OK, so there is a problem there. Milltek and H&S both have 100 cell sports cat. But your problem is fueling. I didn't realise earlier that it is rich rather than lean (which I would expect with an un-mapped CAI). Its a strange map to be sure...

Did you say you have an adjustable FPR? If so what pressure is it at, because you should be more or less at stock injector duty at your level of tune..

Huh..wassa FPR...?

 

1. Walbro fuel pump/regulator

FPR = Fuel pressure regulator....

You implied you had changed it?

 

FPR = Fuel pressure regulator....

You implied you had changed it?

OK I'm sure they said it was changed/upgraded along with the fuel pump. I don't know what to or what was done to it though.

 

You tend to get an analogue gauge with an adjustable FPR so that you can see what pressure your at....

 

Mine was at 2,9 but upped to 3.1 as running lean at WOT

I left the bling gauge on it

 

All the FPR guages I've seen say not to leave them on but tbh unlikely to be a problem for road use..

 

Booked-in for a remap on SRR with the JGM :Banane14:

 

Problem sorted thanks to Simon the JGM.
Cheers guys for your invaluable advice

360.2 HP, 398 FtLbs the result.

Who's a happy boy then !!

 

Damned impressive!

So... how's it feel to drive now?

Definitely more there in the mid-range. Apparently it will take a few drives for the map to settle/adjust or whatever the phrase is, so I haven't given it the full beans yet as I've only just crawled home back round the M25. First impressions good though.
