lewisscoob Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) I too was booked in on the GB to get Andy to do some fettling with my car He's a cracking bloke and was very helpful with all my questions, questions, questions I've never done this live mapping malarky before but it was just like being on a driving lesson. Anyway, I did a few wee mods before the visit including Walbro 255, NGKPFR7B's, K&N Panel filter, 3in 100cpi sports cat downpipe and a 3in centre and rear section. Then came the first good news, it turns out that the car had been mapped before and that saved me a lump of cash! Then a wee run and some jiggery pokery and managed 277Bhp and 312lb/ft! What a difference to the car, its so much more fun! Not quite the same results as Ciaran earlier but my wallet may well get another battering if the right turbo happens to come along...

RA Dunk Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Excellent news, more horses, more torques, less money, sounds like a perfect da to me

Congrats mate it was indeed like a driving lesson I was giving it 10 to 2 with my hands and all that **** Get yourself a new turbo, you see the difference it did to mine and the best thing is all you need is the turbo as you have done pretty much the same as me so would make good figures. Infact you want to buy my turbo and il get a 20g and a set of 550's now instead of in a month when i get fed up? To the point now though I made more than you

To the point now though I made more than you You did have a bigger turbo mate so too! : Well done on your figures, very impressive. I wasnt that far on the torque... I'll send you a goat on the turbo soon...

I wasnt that far on the torque...I'll send you a goat on the turbo soon... To be fair your right the torque was not a million miles away but as we know down the pub its BHP that counts Give me a shout about the turbo. All im thinking now is will my clutch take the BHP of a 20g? Suppose i will just have to fit my 6 speed box at the same time along with a 6 speed clutch and flywheel
scooby222 Posted July 18, 2009 Posted July 18, 2009 another good result mate!! though i can see this tuning into a horsepower war lol! maybe il need to invest in a bigger turbo too but for now my 345/340 is enough to beat both of you even in my lardy ass blobeye
lewisscoob Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 Excellent figures Bro, new clutch yet?? Not yet, been too busy working... it had to be done for the next level anyway. Was a little disappointed that it only lasted 48hrs after the tinkering though! When you getting rid of the Fo*d and getting a real car?!
CharlieMac Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 hey dont knock the ford, it's only 17 'torques' short of your snot machine, an it does 46mpg! Andy got a P1 at the weekend, I want a scoob now, missing the burble!

Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on - we can have a mini meet when I visit
ciaranrb5 Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Lewis did you just get the one map? You get some pops and bangs added in? I did and I get flames too
lewisscoob Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 Lewis did you just get the one map?You get some pops and bangs added in? I did and I get flames too I never asked, so you have a switchable map? Does it cost extra? I want me some of that!
ciaranrb5 Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I could not see the point in a low boost map as i would never use it. I don't think it would have cost more to get a low boost map. The pops and bangs are sweet cost no extra all you had to do was ask.

The pops and bangs are sweet cost no extra all you had to do was ask. Pardon my ignorace/stupidity but how does it work? Maybe I should hold out til i get a new turbo and IC and get some pops and bangs thrown in at the some time. Its an awful long way just for that. Bugger, I presumed it was going to give some after the map anyway...
sczscoob Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Pardon my ignorace/stupidity but how does it work? Get yourself a specially made heavy right boot, give it all that it's got, and hope the boy behind you appreciates all the lovely noises! That's what i did anyway

That's what i did anyway Hilarious Wayne, you think my foot doesnt already have enough behind it?! I mean producing more/less pops from the mapping, is it just dumping more fuel in and it combusting on a hot exhaust?

He does a bit of Negative timing meaning???????????? fuel put in on deceleration?
