fai17 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 As you all know that i have recently had my Gruppe S headers and XS Power up pipe fitted(Supplied by Flat4online but it took a while , nearly 3 weeks).The car has just been remapped by the non famous Mr P. Marks. And what a differnce he has made. Imagine that your 5th gear is like 4th. And your 4th is like 3rd. And you 3rd is like 2nd. It all happens very quickly..grabbing next gear after next gear after next gear. There must be loads of torque in there somewhere. Boost is almost instant on the up change in gear. You don't even need to change in say 7000rpm either to get that effect. You can change up at 5000rpm and floor the pedal and its off you you go again And the exhaust note is something else..If only yous can hear what i am hearing. It's not loud by any means.It's just so sweet and raspy with pop pop bang BANG on the over run.Just the way i like it. It goes off the clock easy(12 o'clock followed by 1 o'clock) Need to get to a rollers soon to see whats she's putting out. Crail on the 13th Nov here i come You may ask me if i am happy with all the bother it has been? You bet it is and i am over the moon btw. My mod with the car its near its end so i am now ready to sell her NOT. I am now just going to enjoy driving my very own beast for the next few years and then let her go. It has been some experance modding her. And hope the modding bug doesn't bite again. Thanks all for the advice given. See yous all soon.
the squiggle Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 It never ends Peter, it is just a constant evoloution. Glad you are happy with the results Grant
Johnny50 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Good to hear Peter. Just wish i had hung onto mine long enough to get Phil to do my Gems.
Gumball Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 nice one peter. im sure this time next year you will still be doing bits and bobs to the car "great success"
fai17 Posted November 2, 2005 Author Posted November 2, 2005 << It never ends Peter, it is just a constant evoloution. Glad you are happy with the results Grant >> You're probably right as Colin was talking to Phil about what the newage would be like with bigger turbo and FMIC with the standard internals.No big boost to blow the engine but loads of whooosh is what Colin said He also said you don't need bigger injectors but just the right mapping
fai17 Posted November 2, 2005 Author Posted November 2, 2005 Btw Grant my antlag is still not activated.Something about the program not being right and having no brakes when its on which can be very dangerous on the road approaching a bend at speed . Hey better be save than sorry
st3ph3n Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Peter is that because you only get Servo assistance when you're off the throttle, and with Anti-lag it might think it's always on the throttle?
jcscoob Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Im happy for ya peter .. Wots next on the hit list ?
Johnny50 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 << Btw Grant my antlag is still not activated.Something about the program not being right and having no brakes >> Peter, thats weird, my brakes were fine when i had my Anti-lag on. Even used it on the run to Alford last year, was on for a good 30mins on some B roads, with no brake problems.
