Looking good Dayle
If you can afford it, its worth going to Wayne at Chip Wizards in Milnrow/Rochdale
I know a few lads who have had cars mapped and they can only sing praises for wayne - Certainly knows his stuff
I know he's obsessed with getting the best he can from each engine, and won't charge an obscene amount even if he's spent Hours and hours on it
Geoff Roberts had his Mk2 Escort rally car there recently - was there from lunch time till after 9pm and geoff ended up giving him more than he asked for !!!
I think Lynchy had his rallycross car mapped by him as well :)

Not long been back from the rolling road. Was quite an eventful day and can reccomend Aide at AB Garage in Hawarden. Really nice bloke and knows his stuff especially with DTA's.
Car did well today especially because of the 30 degrees weather we had the blowers wouldn't blow enough cool air to keep the radiator cool so slowed things down a bit. We need to go back in a 1000 miles to finish the map off as she is currently limited to 1000 miles as the engine is REALLY tight. Although I think these aren't the most accurate numbers and i don't normally bother as its pub talk but it made 118bhp at the wheels at 5500rpm. When its run in a bit more its going back for the top end of the map finishing off. But the car does drive lovely as i found out before when the Mrs took it around the block and the torque is really good too.
All in all a top day and again bit thanks to AB Garage.

Not posted in here for a while but car's all meguiars'd up for summer and now running a LC-1 on the DTA S40 currently see's about 45MPG now on a run which is better than the 28MPG we originally had. Had a local lad re-map the tootling around traffic fueling it was 30% too rich in some places.

Just a shame the Mrs is 7/12 months pregnant and can't fit in it :-s and me not being able to drive due to visual impairment isn't the best!

so the first place that mapped it hadnt done such a good job?
Did you ever get that mechanical cambelt kit from bowyer?
-
No mate I gave up in the end lol.
Yes they had done a good job... of the top end above 50% throttle it was spot on and the lambda removed a max of 5% fuel and about 85% throttle it removed and added none. It was all the bottom end that was to ****e especially starting cold in a morning but that's sorted now fires first time even down to 0 degree's. Suppose they can't do everything in 5 hours or so. The lad who finished it off had the car for 3 days and payment was 2 packs of tobacco and a crate of John Smiths! WINNER.
-
ahh, so the first session was a bit of a lesson in mapping on a budget, but it worked out for the better in the end.
Cool. Prooves once again that binning that o.e inlet on these gets the engine where it should be. Looks like the Velos 'torque tube?' inlet they used to do.
-
Looking good Dayle, the engine bay looks nice and clean :) similar spec to my engine which is also very torquey
-
Yes its a Velos torque tube. Another thing I did discover after the first mapping session was there was a rattle somewhere in the engine and under further investigation someone at some point had tried to removed the screws from the throttle body butterfly.... and had caused the butterfly to move slightly as it wasn't tight. I don't think that would have helped! Yep the engine is quite torque to be fair pulls quite well for what it is. Still the rev limits only set to 6800 as the standard injectors on the C16XE won't flow enough for any more revs... and it runs a standard FPR but its OK for Katie.
