    Open Source Remap

    Just a point, Ecutek doesn't lock you out of your ECU, nor does it mean you have to go back to the same tuner.

    I use Ecutek as it is a professional product with full support available to only professional tuners. It is the best product on the market. Prodrive share that view as they use Ecutek software to remap the International rally cars, the PPP cars, the WR1, RB320, 330S...

    Litchfields also use Ecutek for the type 25 and now for the new GTR

    If these guys thought they could offer the same quality mapping at lower cost, I'm sure they would.

    cheers

    2 of the high flow walbro's to a set of 1100's returning via a simgle sx 90 psi reg. 82% duty from memory.

    I always thought ecu managed n2o would be a dry system with the extra fuel delivered via the injectors and the wet systems stand alone, is this all out of date now?

    You can do it either way with the Simtek and Syvecs, on your car there would be enough spare injector capacity to do it dry. Optionally you can use a standalone system and trigger it on/off from the ECU when required.

    Now I'm glad I plumbed in a spare fuel line. I assume a third pump would also be required?

    It depends on what pump capacity you have spare at the moment ? 50bhp of N2O requires approx 300cc/min of fuel.

    Let me know the spec of your current pumps/regs/ injectors and maximum inj duty and I'll work it out for you.

    Hey JAC i believe it works with one nozzele however there is a feed going into the fuel line and another for the NOS is how i believe it works.. 1 nozze 2 feeds correct me if im wrong Andy F..

    Correct, 1 nozzle, 2 feeds, the N2O helps vaporise the fuel as it blasts out.

    http://www.chgperformance.co.uk/catalog/im...%20standard.jpg

    One throttle body mounted nozzle is ideal for up to 100bhp, over that I would go for individual port injection but that also brings complications so I would avoid if possible.

    Sorry to jump on your thead Chris.

    Andy - with 82% inj duty at present would I have enough head room to run any meaning gain? Also, any more likely to lift the heads?

    No more risk if used for spooling the turbo, like anti lag but without the pops and bangs. N2O has a cooling effect so its not as scary as people (or F+F ) make out.

    The additional fuel for the N2O can be supplied via the same nozzle so injector duty is not changed.

    GT35-86 is a good option Chris, I ran with a 35/42 a few years back and its currently on John S's T/A car.

    I would be interested in trying S/clinics billet 35 though, based on the billet 30 results !

    Garrett should also have the smaller versions of their 11 blade GTX-R forged billet wheels around soon too.

    On decent fuel you should see full boost by 4000rpm.

    I also have a fully mappable progressive N2O programme available for the Simtek as developed on my race car a few years back.

    Steve has been in touch re mapping, so no probs there :)

    Dyno Run 15/12/2009

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Posted

    The torque seems normal enough for 1.6 bar of boost on non AVCS heads.

    A 2.5 Sti, even with the benefit of AVCS on its original turbo would be no where near this torque at 1.6 bar and neither would a 2.0 !!

    The car was mapped safely to 1.9 bar. At this boost level, with the safety levels I used, I would expect to see just under 500lbft . I held it down to this level as I consider it is pushing close to the limits of the standard EJ257 blocks thin liners. The fact it made circa 550bhp on the low boost is a bonus. I estimated this would be the output from the full boost setting but then we know that all dynos differ.

    Anything approaching 600bhp on the std 2.5 block is not what I would recommend....... ideal for the snow though :rolleyes:

    cheers

    As mentioned previously, the mapping is only as good as the mapper. Ecutek software however is probably the best their is, as used by Prodrive to do the PPP upgrades and the factory Subaru rally cars. Mitsubishi also used Ecutek for the FQ*** Evo's.

    Whether your garage use snap on tools or B+Q tools may not affect the job they do working on your car but it does say 'something' about them.

    My 20g Ye Ha

    I'm on my second 20g lol, had an AFP one which lasted 3k milles, now on an AET 20g and its lasted 5k miles but think I might be down on torque with the AET. Really good turbos though, virtually no lag ;) and sound awesome too

    Thats unusual Frank, what failed on it ? Was it not still covered by the 12 months warranty ?

    Would A Knackered Turbo Make Different Boost

    in Scottish Scoobies

    Posted

    There is no issue with the wastegate pressure, preload or the AVCR settings. Even with 90% duty the boost will not achieve target.

    Airflow readings are normal for that boost level which tends to rule out an airleak and there is no blowing from the exhaust.

    Thats why I suspect turbo damage reducing the efficiency.

    cheers

    Hi guys, I should be up to date on emails by end of play Thursday (or thats the plan anyway)

    If you don't have a reply regarding booking a date by then, drop me another email.

    Emails requesting specific tuning info may take a bit longer, particularly in cases where you may find the answers on my website :rolleyes: where we cover the majority of scenarios for different models.

    Ideally slot your name against a date for a morning or afternoon (10am or 1pm) session. I'll check back here and update my diary with your input and also update this list with dates I fill via emails from non GB cars.

    cheers

    Andy
