fai17 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) Well with the all the things going on recently with my life(arrival of baby boy) and things not going to plan! My car has finally had her full balls out map. Mapped by Andy Forrest yesterday before Jimser and all was well and no major issues....as you may all know that there is always small/big issues before and during mapping. The mappping session went great and a complete new fuel and boost map was acheived with only 1 issuse which was 1 of the 2 fuel pump was working because of electrical connection. Low boost was mapped to 1.5 bar which was very fast at this stage of map. High boost was mapped at 2.1 bar which is a knicker wetter and is a hand full on full boost. 2.1 bar of boost sounds like a jet engine and the harizon approaches very quickly After the mapping session i discovered i had burst a CV gaitor and that was the end to the day. Just need to move the air filter in to the passenger wing,re work the intercooler pipework and fit the oil cooler. Andy's 4rse to seat power quotation(3 up and full weight newage STI) over 500bhp and over 500lb/ft of torque. Roll on Sunday for the Crail thrash with The Barrhead Bomber The Chinese Chocolate block 400 has been reborn as The Bamboo Block And finally i would like to thank: 1.AndyF for his expertise and general good information. 2.Greersport for putting it all together and servicing and maintence. 3.Meercat for all the stainless steel fabrication. 4.Chy@Pennine for supplying the CDB 2.5L. 5.Jimser for the general good banter and getting me so parts and supplier. 6.The Greek Goddess for pushing me to destruction. And final BIG THANKS to my wife Denise for letting me do this to my much loved chariot and for having the most beautifull baby boy. see ya Edited May 20, 2008 by fai 17 Link to comment

RS Grant Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Really happy for you mate, glad its all coming together after this time. Sounds like a weapon!! There's some of us scratching around with 300-odd bhp and then you boys come along with your big boostin' turbos and trick blocks and kick the ball out the park. Hat off to all you guys pushing the limits, I remember when people were aiming to smash the 350bhp barrier!! Cheers, Grant Link to comment
