fai17 Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Right lads and ladettes My Gems ecu is in now but Anti Lag is not activated yet because once its switched on you can't switch it off.It would be very dangerous because you won't have brakes. Launch Control is not activated either as it is aggressive and might damage my car. It is running a bit rough when cold but once warm up it is very aggressive. It drives more like a classic with a might shove to the back of seat.... The car is going to get more time spent on mapping to smooth things out. Am i happy? You bet i am I would like to see what it makes on the rollers. The car drives like a beast know..Poping and Banging once you step off the throttle as boost comes in Just like a rally car.. I don't think my neighbours going to love me for it thou.... I am looking for headers and up pipe before next mapping session. Cheers..
the squiggle Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Glad to hear you like it It is true about the lack of brakes when the Anti-Lag is on. Rough when cold and further mapping sessions to iron it out is copletely normal with GEMS. Who was that done the mapping, Phil Marks or Steve Simpson? Grant
Gumball Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 so my dear Watson, is it a GEMS remap then if you dont have the ability to use anti-lag? or is it a GEMS remap with anti-lag? is it like a GEMS remap with a machine gun mounted on the roof, the only thing is it doesnt work? or is it a GEMS remap??? smoked

Marc 29 was out yesterday afternoon and he said it was really quick and when he got back into his STI V4,his own car felt slow. I think i also need a new boost controller as the original is working flat out and can't hold 1.6bar with a high load in 5th& 6th gear. Any ideas anyone?
imprezapete Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Sounding ace Pete!!! Can I ask how much the whole gems ecu cost you to do?
Johnny50 Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 Gems is good fun. Miss mine terrible, although i dont miss the cold start...lol Anti-lag is huge fun. I had Ateve tweak mine several times to make it more aggressive. Lovely. Pete. If i remember, mine cost around 1200.
the squiggle Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 HHHHMMMMM.....Overboost on a blob eye STI UK car. Now where have i heard that before...... Common occurance with the turbo that is fitted to your car after a remap. Maybe have to look for a different turbo to cure the overboost but if you want to try a boost controller then i couuld try and source one for you Steve or Phil....I am dieing to know.......1 ace, 1 not so ace Grant
jacqui_robb Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 That excellent Peter Glad to hear ur re-map went well. Looking forward to seeing the car now - especially with ur Anti-Lag! Funnily enough, i've had my GEMS re-mapped as well - and it GOES! WHOOSH! OH YEAH BABY DOES IT GO All i can say to other peeps thinking about the GEMS for their road cars - DONT GET STEVE SIMPSON TO MAP IT. Speaking from experience. End of!
jacqui_robb Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 << or OJ Simpson LOL >> He would probably have made a better job
fraser_drinkwater Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 nice one peter, when you gonna get the next mods then?
fai17 Posted July 22, 2005 Author Posted July 22, 2005 Grant: It was ............. 1 ace.I may to speak to you about the overboost.It maybe the boost controller and not the turbo.. Swigi: Maybe today , maybe tomorrow , how knows. Miss STI:Glad yours is going great....
fai17 Posted July 22, 2005 Author Posted July 22, 2005 << Gems is good fun. Miss mine terrible, although i dont miss the cold start...lol why did you get rid of you GEMS then and do they all have that cold start problem...
