Midlands Rolling Road meet - 26th March 2011 - Solihull (S.E. Birmingham)

yes ian i have along with a boost controler thats not set up properly til monday

[foxdie]

Yes but the controller im using hits 0.9 bar onset, dropping to 0.6 at higher revs. Can an EBC be set to boost higher at say 5000 rpm? Im assunimg a remapped ecu can do that.

If you've got a manual boost controller it'll just increase boost at whatever point you set it to, ie. 0.8 bar at 4000RPM. An (most) electronic boost controller(s) however can be set to maintain a particular target boost throughout the rev range.

Swinks, VR4kaos and kinkyafro have remapped prefacelift ecu

I have a facelift ecu with some little tweeks and Electronic boost control. The ecu tweeks are raised fuel cut level and allowable duration before fuel cut activates, these on there own are performance mods, it just lets me use all the boost i want to dial in without being pegged back by the fuel cut.
I had the boost set quite conservitivly on the dyno run as i did not know what the afr's were going to look like. But i think there is plent of room for improovement .
Fuel cut is a good Feature to have on the ecu, it is a protaction setting to stop you damaging the engine, but it does seem that it is very conservitively set at the factory, which is why you can raise it as long as you afr's are OK.
so the next thing to do is get a wideband o2 sensor fitted and gauge to allow me to monitor the afr while play with the boost.

This remind me i will post up the evoscan log i did whilst the dyno run was being do, for anyone that is interested. Sorry can't do it now as i am on my ipad and the files are on my laptop.

It is just one log for the whole dyno run so it has the warm up the torque converter load up and the 3 dyno runs.

log file below:-
can't upload it, the uploader will not recognise any .csv files
i have changed the file extention to .ZIP (i have not zipped it). just change the file extention to .csv once you have downloaded it and it will be usable by evoscan.

i have tested if the download and rename works and it does the file does not get corrupted you can ignore the warning windows gives you.

[swinks]

Have any of these got the upgraded ECU on them ?
ian

Yes, mine and Kinkyafro's had flashed 7201. Donno about others.

I will edit my post to include you tomasz

Which is a good advert for the tweeked prefacelift ecu's that nutter john and kickyafro have developed as you are all at the top oof the power figures.
But obviously the ecu is not the only mod you all have. There are some required mods that have to be done to make use of the ecu new capabilities, just to make it clear.

Please give me a shout when you going to fit wideband, I want to do this at first in mine as well but after reading a lot on here and on others web sites I am more and more confused, so it will help me a lot to make right decisions what to buy and why.

I was expecting some big bhp with the ecu upgrade ?

[VR4Kaos]

i was too way back when i first got mine but i think a lot of loses are down to wear and tear tbh Ian

[Kryton]

Finally had a chance to find out what is up with mine & booked in at Mitsi on Friday Whens the next one?

[Davezj]

What did you have done?

[vr4drifta]

a few pics i took when i got there!!!

[Kryton]

What did you have done?

Nothing til Friday but apparently (after explaining over the phone, follwed by an "oops") I have a boost leak from something that was not connected up plus also, he has said that now I have an aftermarket dump valve, my factory one should have been turned around & plugged so that could be causing issues. I only pretended to understand what he was talking about but he is claiming it would explain a few things. Hopefully make sense to someone on here
