My Mapping Session @ Track n Road (Pics & Vid)

[trackdaynova]

As some know that read my WIP thread, I booked my car in with Steve Greenald & Steve Pitcher @ Track n Road to have a mapping session done.

Alot of people said I was mad travelling so far, over 160 miles on way, nearly 3 hour journey, considering there are plenty of other places more local to me.

I decided to swim against the tide and go with the Steves anyway, and I'm soooo glad I did... their reputation across the forums is absolutlely phenominal and impeccable, and it doesn't stop there!

If anyone is looking at getting their car mapped at all in the future, please do not hesitate in booking it in, or at least give them a call and have a chat about what you want to do, and what your expectations are.

Their contact details are:

I had booked on the evening slot that they offer which is great convenience for those travelling far, so my session was 6pm-midnight, got their to find Giles (from MIG) on the rollers with his Cavalier, just finishing up having his mapped.

My car was on the rollers by 7pm ish, and that was the start of a long ear piercing X hours

I cannot get over just how thorough these guys are when they're mapping, the slightest of hesitations, or glitches they they're not quite happy with - they'll work on until it's perfect.

After JB making the teas , we were underway, and I was wondering around with my camcorder as I do, and the odd photo here and there, also showing alot of interest how in depth mapping really is.

After the first run, it had made 197.7bhp and with being so close to the big 200, Steve altered the Ign Adv to see if it'd make any difference, and the second power run came back with 197.3bhp, now if that isn't consistancy then I don't know what is!

I was over the moon by this point, I went with the hope of getting 190bhp, 165whp, and 145lbft, and all of my expectations have been exceeded!

Final figures are:

197.7 bhp @ 7620 rpm
174.1 whp @ 7620 rpm
147.9 lbft @ 6496 rpm

Very happy moreso with my wheel horse power with the help of the straight cut box not sapping as many ponies as the previous standard F20 did!

Here is a compilation video, very similar to my White Nova mapping session video, its 5m 37s long, and I hope you enjoy watching it.

Thanks for reading

Awesome results Olly.
Gearbox losses aren't too dissimilar to my standard F13, I made 193bhp 7977rpm (Fly) and 168 (wheels).
If and when I need mapping doing, I will definately be making the journey.

they also happen to have one of THE most accurate dynos of the "tuning" world.... so much so a certain big blue oval uses them for exact power figures

Awesome stuff Olly, sounds great in the vid.

Ive noticed that they have a different to the norm roller setup, its only like a single roller, instead of the car sitting inbetween two rollers....
