richdog Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Good luck let us know how you get on.Could benefit from a contact number for Will as wanting to book Matts in for mapping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ro55ifumi Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Just an update as you know last year a couple of motors let go on here due to fueling issues http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/48012-charlottes-gt-advance-massive-overdue-update/page-9#entry894100, so it sat at the back of my mind niggling away, so after a bit of research and after chatting to a few people, oh a a ride in Robh's car ( Which has a fair few miles on his forged motor) i decided to give Will a call at RDT.tv, Link to FB page https://www.facebook.com/rdt.tv?fref=ts , now after a lenghty chat i booked to go and see him. Rob uses a hub dyno so gives you the bhp at the wheels, the Dynapack set up is real interesting to say the least and takes away the variables of tyre slip,rollers etc and many other variations between dyno's, all info can be found here if you want read http://www.dynapackusa.com/index.htm So yesterday i went up to see Will bright and early 09.00 am start at his place, first was the pre dyno check, compression test, check the bores etc to ensure all was good to go and was healthy.Robh kindly popped along to see us while i was there for a chat and a catch up on all things starlet First run was done on TD map to get a base line and ran up at 218bhp at hubs my TD graphs show 278bhp at crank, the fueling was rather erratic up and down at various points of the rev range, the TD map was locked so Will could not just go in and adjust the fueling.Will then asked if i was ok for him to start from fresh which i agreed and the map was deleted and Will started to remap from fresh starting at my base setting of .7 boost and working up to 1.4bar at all stages he explained what he was doing and why, this for me this was brilliant and reassuring.He spent ages adjusting the fueling in specific areas of the rev range to even it out, running the engine up on each adjustment until he was happy Final run saw a figure of 220bhp @ the wheels so following the TD theory 280bhp @ crank, but the main difference for me was when i then came to the drive home @ around 16.00!!, the power is more progressive and comes in a little bit earlier, had me grinning ear to ear The main thing for me is that i now know that all is good Vid of one of the runs, the fan is real nosiey but you get the idea>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WERU_oq9DvE Also quick pic with Rob after Cheers John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think I know who I'll be going to should I need an ECU mapping Thanks Amjad an Will is very knowledgeable Nice result dude :-) Thanks Nice stuff. Glad your happy with it. Do you have the AFR plots of the old and new map? Be interesting to have a look at them if you don't mind.. PM them if you don't wanna post them up Rob unfortunately i do not have a graph supplied by TD, while at Wills the first run was done on that map then checked, both Will and Robh were present and the Afr's were up and down across the rev range, Will could not adjust as the map was locked so i took the decision to delete and start from fresh. The car drives loads better now and pulls cleanly all the way through, i made the decision to go based on a couple of engine failures and from others mentioning that the car appeared to be over fueling when being followed.
