FurballPhil Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Just back from my trip down to Andy Forrest for my Mapping Session. My Red 1993 Version 1 Type-RA I have an Apexi Power FC and an Apexi AVCr... Andy found out straight away that the Map on my car wasn`t doing the car any justice and was wrong. I kind of thought that anyway, cos the car had never driven like I expected it should. So, he set about getting rid of that and giving me a new custom Map This had been my first time with taking one of my Scooby`s for Mapping and it was very interesting. I was chuffed that no scary nasty suprises were lurking in my set up.... Apart from Needing My spark plugs changed, or the Gap checked on them. I have a higher boost setting on my AVCr, but I`ve to sort the Spark Plug Issue before using it. But to be honest, my lower boost setting is so responsive and snappy I`m over the moon with it..... It really was like driving a totally different car home.. So, Thanks Again Andy for giving my 18 year Girl a new lease of life.... Edited June 6, 2011 by FurballPhil
marko72 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Andy F is the man, there are many who will agree. It is a really interesting day out, and drive home. What kind of figures did you get? Cheers.
FurballPhil Posted June 6, 2011 Author Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Andy F is the man, there are many who will agree. It is a really interesting day out, and drive home. What kind of figures did you get? Cheers. I didn`t have a Dyno Run, so, new BHP is not known... But I have Dyno Print of the car when it was on the old Map, boost was 0.85bar... And it was 300.3bhp........... But the car just wasn`t running good back then... Mapping on it was very questionable I did find out I don`t have the Turbo I thought it had... Which is a good thing, as I`d hate to advertise her for sale and sound like I`m telling Porkies... The guy I bought it from said he thought it was an TD05 18g or maybe 20g.. But turns out it`s a TD05 16g.... I`m not too upset about that though... She pulls well with it.. My new Map, with the low boost setting which is now 0.95bar, Andy I think says I should be on a healthy 330bhp.. And My Higher setting is 1.2bar.... But for me, today wasn`t about getting bigger BHP.. It was getting the car to behave the best it could..... Which Andy has definatly succeeded with... I will be having her on the rollers once I`ve finished a few more jobs. She`s having a wee touch up in the paint department... Also thinking of stripping her back down to Original (No side skirts, no boot spoiler etc)... Also a few jobs before her MOT in September... At least I know my car is healthy... No scary problems hiding away..... Which for 18 year old thumper ain`t bad... Edited June 6, 2011 by FurballPhil
RA Dunk Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Nice one, Been mapped from Andy quite a few times now and it's always nice to get a clean bill of health afterwards, will be looking for more of his services in the not too distant future.
