Is that figure from a dyno? I'd love to see the printout if you have it to see the power and torque curves.

I take it you've been told that would work ok then? What makes that doubly bad is the JDM ecu will be mapped for higher octane fuel so will be running more ignition advance. If you were to run than much ignition advance on 95ron fuel you'll probably do a fair bit of damage, couple that with a lean mixture and you can kiss goodby to your pistons.

As soon as i get a figure it'll be posted straight up don't you worry. It's an M4 Pro. ;)

Not on this car no, i had it fitted to my 400bhp mr2 before, but unfortunately wrote it off so it's now on the starlet. I paid ott for it i realised after from owen developments, 2k it cost me fitted and (badly) mapped.

Me too my friend, me too. Just need to find someone close to me with a working laptop now.

Agreed as it's mapped for them. The JDM injectors on a UK ecu would flood the engine and the UK injectors on a JDM ecu would run dangerously lean i should think.

You'll not need to touch your fueling unless you put in high lift cams maybe, then the stock injectors will still be large enough, you'll just need a better ecu to control them properly. The only way you'll need larger ones is if you slap a turbo on it.

Don't worry, he's sent another one, it's the injector duty cycle he needs not the lambda. I just need a laptop and i can find that out myself.

Even with a completely modded engine, there's no way you'll need larger injectors in these cars. Once i've got hold of a laptop i'll let you know what duty cycle my injectors are running at, but i bet it's still quite a low percentage. Some people have this weird idea that more fuel equals more power, if the extra fuel isn't matched with extra air, then you'll lose power. As a general rule, the leaner you can run it the more power you'll make.

If you put bigger injectors in and still run the stock ecu, all you'll do is flood the engine and lose power not gain it.

Lol. it'll be a whole number, but 104 would be a good start. Got a reply back from him, he needs a lambda reading to work it out so it looks like i'll have to wait, as i don't have a wideband lambda sensor to get that figure.

Not got a power figure for it yet, but hoping for a three figure output.

I would say it's well worth the £900 on a turbo'd car, but not an n/a. I've gained a noticable amount of pull from 4k upwards. No extra sensors were needed, just used all the stock ones fine. Would like to do the conversion when i'm in a better position to do so yes, need a better job first though.

Here you go, nice, but a bit much for me......and my 7 month old daughter doesn't appreciate it much, lol.

No but i can take one. You want to swap your tte one??

Well that's both sides cleaned up now after removing the strips, looks much better i reckon. Need to change the exhaust next i think as it's a bit too loud for my liking, must be my age, lol.

Not yet no, i doubt he'll read his emails till at least tomorrow, he's away this weekend mapping some WRC cars.

The fte lump will cost me a hell of a lot more than the £75 mapping time i spent that's for sure.

Lol, i'd love to do a turbo conversion and in time i might, right now i just don't have the funds to do it though.

Guys, i already had the motec from my last car so all i spent was the mapping time. I know its OTT for an n/a but i might as well use it rather than have it sitting on the table as a paperweight. The cost of the mapping will be offset against the extra fuel economy i should now be getting.

Love it.

Lol, that is one way of doing it yes.

The main trouble with a replica is it won't have to tte badge on it, which is something i like about it.

Tell me more mate, make loads, you'll make a fortune.

I'm going to make it my mission in life to find one. lol.
