    When to map??

    in Performance & Track Days

    Posted

    Sorry for the 101 questions i just want to make sure before so im not having to make twenty trips to the rolling road i just want all these bits on the drive it as my daily 😊

    Ive also got an apexi pen timer with a/f readout but not sure it reads properly enough to tune from! Here are some readings-

    Idle - 14.7

    1/2 throttle - 15.5

    Full throttle 20 + ???

    Seems like thats well too leaned out 😳 im going to ditch the ebc and manage boost from stock first

    Fit everything you've got before mapping ideally, apart from the injectors.

    Didnt mention injectors 😕 not planning on getting any... Did you mean the ebc or rrfpr??

    Think im getting confused between mapped and having the rrfpr set up,

    Will all the mods i listed with the rrfpr at 3.0bar be safe to run at? Or will i than have to get it mapped on top?

    So steve im guessing you had the same... Fcd, rrfpr, fuel pump to get 1bar safely?

    The shit thing with the hdi ebc and ebg are two seperate things but they only work together! So i cant use the ebg with out having the ebc plugged in as well.

    So i would ideally like to see what the boost is without ebc then monitor it with a mechanical gauge whilst adding bits (should be able to make one up at work 😛)

    it seems as tho ebc changes the characteristics of when the boost kicks in so leave it off completely until the fueling is set, then turn her up?

    What can i set the fuel pressure gauge to whilst taking it to the rr?

    Thanks steve i have got the rrfpr already i just havent fitted it. Not sure what its set at as bought it.

    If i fit it now will the fueling be all over the Place and risk damage? I dont have access to a wideband so will have to take it somewhere. If im doing that will i have to get it set up again after every other mod or will that be ok to start and then fit everything else?

    Alright chaps,

    The mods are -

    Hks ssqv

    Hks fcd

    Hdi Ebc

    Hdi Ebg

    Apexi N1 evolution

    Zep racing decat

    K&n panel filter

    Hi boost set at 1.0bar (will give more)

    Is this safe with no management or map?

    To fit-

    Sard rrfpr (i have a gauge as well)

    Hdi fmic

    Walbro 55 fuel pump

    Turbotechnics ct9

    What can i fit before i need a map? Dont really want to spend £££s after every mod getting it remapped everytime!

    Thanks

    how do you know when the clutch is on it's way out?

    That shouldn't be a problem man, its 6 or so bolts that hold the cover on and the clutch disc is normally marked like, engine side/transmission side. The release bearing is straightforward to change too.

    The cambelt is a striaght forward too but they seemed to have messed that one up somehow :/ how they got it runnin properly at all is beyond me,

    My clutch is the same it will judder like f*ck when pulling off really slow or in traffic, but when you give it a a bit of revs 2500-3000 and let the clutch out into the revs it grips and doesnt slip at all.... Dont know wether this sounds like a aftermarket clutch never checked?

    hdi shite mate, had one im my car before didnt even hold boost

    I was asking for help on installing it not wether you think they are any good, in all fairness ive read countless reviews and its pretty much a 50/50 split. Im sorry you have had problems with yours but ive got one fresh out the box and im using it....for now :) with this snow about atm i'll just be happy if it sits on low at .4bar

    Should be 2 lines going to the electrovalve. One to the actuator, one for the compressor housing.

    If you crank it down, what boost do you get?

    That should be right then? ive blocked off the actuator and fed the solenoid(electrovalve) to the comp housing, and the 2nd solenoid pipe is goin to the other port on the actuator, unless they are the wrong way round?

    Its hard to tell in this weather i havent really had chance to play around with it much. Heres the stats ive got so far....

    Low boost setting- dial turned all the way left- 0.4bar

    Low boost setting- dial turned all the way right- 0.6bar

    High boost setting- dial turned all the way left 0.8bar

    High boost setting- dial midway - 1.0bar

    High boost setting- dial all the way right 1.2bar

    Seems like pretty good, acurrate increments, but like i said theres not much that isnt stock so 1.2 is a bit pie!!

    Boost controller help!

    Hi guys,

    Ive got the v back and finally got round to fitting some of the bits ive had lying around.

    Ive started with the hdi type-d boost gauge and contoller so i can monitor boost as i add the other bits (turbo technics ct9, zep decat, hdi front mount, sard rrfpr, walbro pump).

    I seem to be pulling 1.0bar in 3rd around 5000rpm with the controller mid way on high. I dont see how this is right with everything stock other than an apexi cat back exhaust, hks fcd and hks ssqv. This makes me think its overboosting and ive not plumbed it in right? With the dial on max it reaches 1.2bar!!

    I dont want to do any damage so i need to know if its in properly.

    Wiring aside, the diagram shows only one vac pipe to the actuator but on the standard ct9 there is 2. Ive blocked off the hose one end that goes to one side of the actuator and put the solenoid pipe to the housing. The other pipe to the solenoid is going straight to the actuator. Ive blocked of the original hotpipe vac feed as its not used to the standard solenoid.

    Sorry for the longwindedness but does this sound about right??
