Remap/ecu Question

[luke_clifton]

Hi, been thinking about getting my car finally mapped or new ecu. But what mods do you ideally need to have done before map. I'm looking to get 300bhp-320bhp.

Thanks

Decat, fuel pump and induction kit for your car as i beleive it already runs a td05, then a remap by Simon aka Jolly Green Monster should see your power around 320 bhp

But talk to Simon and he will point you in the right direction

[luke_clifton]

Ah cool, thanks for your answer. Going to get my brakes sorted then onto a new ecu/map i think.

[Jolly Green Monster]

need to settle on a budget really..

Assuming the car is standard apart from decat?

1) Walbro fuel pump, ESL Remap or Apexi, or Simtek - estimate 295

2) as 1 + injectors + 97 map sensor - estimate 310

3) as 1 + 2 and front mount intercooler and induction kit - estimate 320

4) as 1 + 2 + 3 and z32 or sti98 maf sensor - estimate 340 this stage not needed if on the Simtek

estimates are keeping to safe limits.

Thanks alot for the guide, thinking of making this my summer project (funds wise). Might attempt to get bigger injectors, fuel pump, + front mount, then stretch for a simtek (if they make boards for pre 97 cars). Should see some nice figures hopefully.

Simtek is available for all but the drive by wire 2006 onwards..

simon my mate has a simtek on his p1 an it idles all over the place stays high then slowly drops is this normal as when he had mapped they said the simtek is not that refined but a good ecu ??????

sure it is a simtek and not gems?

the idle strategy is simple but I have not had a problem getting 900rpm steady.

hi jgm would you be able to remap my wr1 even thou been done once by prodrive if i change my exhaust mate

[Jolly Green Monster]

yes mate

thanks

Simon

[dazzlers82]

sure it simtek mate an when you stop it sits at i think 1200 rpm if i remember correctly thenslowly drops to about 900 but does hunt sometimes

oh its a 2.5 as well 20g an 800 cc injectors i think lol

[Jolly Green Monster]

possibly needs a tweak, although 800s can be fickle

[luke_clifton]

Another quick question, is there any ECU that can be made programmable to my 5th injector to help prevent det.

[Jolly Green Monster]

no..

it was not used in original ecu even

although extra fueling can resuce det, the standard ecu run silly rich and adding more would cause misfire.

extra injector could be used fueling wise when mapped though.... aquirmist mf2 could be used,,, but cheaper to just fit larger injectors

[luke_clifton]

I was told i'm running 3x richer than a standard scooby... could this be why i sometimes get hesitation/misfire?
