Cheers chaps a little finishing to do but I'm rather enjoying it at the moment

Little update on this.

Got a 3.8 Bar FPR fitted and had the old girl re-tested and AFRs were in the low 12s, so that's better Power was roughly the same but this time I had a tank of Esso Supreme rather than Tesco 99, which will make a small difference.

At the same time, I had the idle emissions checked and the lambda was spot on but the CO was higher than required for the MOT, so I had to get a new cat fitted (as detailed elsewhere ). This time it was a 200 CPI so a little more restrictive but the good news is that it passed the MOT straight away on the short idle test with some decent low emissions - no warming required

A few other odds and sods that I've done but good to be sorted for another year of tax and test

Final thing to decide is if I get a straight through pipe fitted in place of the back box or have a tiny back box fitted (taken from a defunct centre section) in a bid to make it sound a little bit better Current single box system with a cat is very quiet and I want more :mischeif: Would be fitted on a V band so that I could refit the stock back box in a matter of minutes.

I'm gonna rain on your parade, and say that this chipset is made for race fuel or meth injection, and that if it's running 11.5 AFR it's knocking all the time, as it's mapped to run a lot leaner than that without knock. It needs at least 102 RON to run knock-free. The knock maps are heavily upped as well, dumbing down Motronic's knock detection.
The 0.2 bar in fuel pressure won't take it from 11.5 to mid 12.

Also, that rolling road is pretty optimistic. I know my personal custom maps don't make much more than 370, and as some people can attest on here, my personal maps produce lower FATS times (Lloyd's car went from T+S to my map, got extra hp, less lag, better mpg, etc.).

"Generic" and "safe" don't go in one sentence with the T+S 1.9 bar chipset.

Sorry.

Somehow I'd missed this thread Andy
Glad to see you're happy with it and probably wise to leave some headroom in the setup since you are known for wringing it out on track
The nicest sounding system I have heard was on S2Spike's old maroon coupe, perfect balance between volume & tone. He DIY'd it so I'm sure he could tell you exactly how he made it
you will have to let me know if / when you go to Oulton as its not far from me and I love the circuit

I've had my umbrella up since posting this 2 months ago

The map is on the to do list and will be sorted when time and money allow. If there is a better generic map that I can run until that time then please let me know and I'll speak to Richard about it, as I bought the whole kit off him and was not told about race fuel or meth injection at the time.

It came and went rather quickly, as these things do sometimes. I decided that I wanted minimum downtime as I hate having a car off the road, so it was all fitted in a weekend and the exhaust was fixed the following week. As for track work, funds that were set aside for that have been redirected into getting the cat sorted for the MOT and before that there were the exhaust repair, new front discs and RS2 fuel pump, so it's not going to happen any time soon. A little more time will allow me to sort the other things on the car out and address the issues raised by prj, above.

Glad to hear you have got the emissions sorted, always a worry when they are high.

T+S

T+S?

Thomas Schmalz tuning... or the software you find in Ultimot chipsets

Which are also stolen from him, he never authorized the sale of them by Ultimot.
In fact all the chips that Ultimot sells are nicked.

He confirmed this in writing

Thanks for the info.

Only seen this thread now, nice work Was the turbo a stock 7200 or tweaked in any way?

[Rusty]

Stock turbo, IM and injectors, Wagner EVO EM and a 3" turbo back exhaust.

Just took some pictures in the sun

Very nice....
