Rolling Road Session

[Guest sandy77uk]

So took the zero down to Northampton motorsport for a rolling road session, they did a power run first to give me a base figure which came out at 150BHP, which felt about right as the map was a very low power map to get it through the IVA.

 

Fitted the hotter cams and had a re-map and now producing 183BHP and the car is so much more driveable, power everywhere, 2nd gear at 2k RPM, breathe on the accelerator and its like getting punched in the back

 

pleased with the results

good gains Hopefully the weather will hold out for a while longer, and you'll get some more use out of it.

Just shows a RR session with a good operator can't be beat.

yeah its a completely different car to drive, well worth the shillings, wouldn't hesitate to recommend them

Rolling road sessions are essential when tuning engines, i will always get mine done after engine mods.

[Guest sandy77uk]

think i will sit with what i've got now and then maybes next year look at CNC porting the head, if I do, I will be back off down to these guys, they are top notch

I don't know what ECU you are using but if you can, link the laptop up and download a copy of the new map. Save it with a clear title like NHMS1211 so you can identify it later. Then you can tinker with the map if cold start, idle, transients are a problem. Then if you mess up you can always revert to the original.

its a Webcom alpha system and you can't get the software, According to Webcon they dont make it available because they believe only a specialist with a dyno can map it properly (the cynic in me says its to make money but there we go)

[megadodo]

Apart from the nice power gains, how are enjoying the car overall? I bet Webcon contracts with "authorised" installers and tuners also prohibits then from releasing the software to the plebby public! Perish the thought we can use what we have paid for!

Please don't say things like this it make me jealous that mine is still a way off finished!!

 

Note to self : Must find more garage time

[Guest Sharky]

Mine's so close to 'driveable' I can smell it!! I have been tempted to get up at early doors one some Sundays and smoke some tram lines down the lane just to see what she goes like, but a busy work year and being away from Monday to Friday every week (oh yeah - and a house move in the middle!) have completely scuppered any ambition to be at one of the shows with a finished toy this year!! :-(

 

The Winter months are going to be spent doing the final fettling and fitting the windscreen and wipers in time to take them off again in 2012 and get it IVA'd.

 

Once I have done that a rolling road beckons - anyone got a recommendation for 2.0 Zetec, Jenveys and Emerald ECU in the Chepstow/Bristol area?

 

Cheers

You'll get there dude, keep plugging away

Dave at Mech motorsports in Cheltenham is very good. Does the base mapping for Omex or certainly used to.

Don't take him an ST170 though. He hates them.
