cturner93 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hi, im buying a forged 5e on saturday and just wondering if i can run it on s map for a semi forged 4e until the 5e is ran in. The 4e wad mapped my TD to 180bhp with a ct9 turbo. Any opinions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azz Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I would say no way in hell ! 4E is different reving engine aswell as different lengths of rods iirc so if your map is for timing ect on a 4E I would say its a bit risky 5E should use more fuel / air aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 No way aswell! Dont buy a forgie and risk ruining it. Guessing its a secondhand forged engine? if so itll alreay be well run it, so just go and get it mapped straight away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cturner93 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Its a brand new forge not even ran yet. Getting it from id-workz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 A big IF, if you have an AFR gauge, retard both the ignition timing and valve timing along with keeping an eye on the AFR gauge.I would however say its not the best idea by a long shot, however if you are stuck thats the way I would do it, or just run it on a stock ecu 4EFTE ecu with slightly higher fuel pressure.

cturner93 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 I dont have an afr gauge mate :/ i spoke to idrees and he said to run the stock ecu. Atm ive got emanageblue. Do i simply just unplug it? How do i get it back to using the stock ecu? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 It depends if its been spliced in or if it has a plug and play harness, if its been spliced in then its more troublesome mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cturner93 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Oh dear. Would someone be able to put a stock 5e map into my emb then before i run it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Oh dear. Would someone be able to put a stock 5e map into my emb then before i run it? No one knows any stock map numbers so it's not really possible, the only thing you could do would be to take the ecu to somewhere like TD and get them to download a file that's likely to be a close match. Chances are though your going to get charged for a remap, then once the cars running you got to get another map to suit your car, so you end up paying double. Have a look at the emanage and see how its wired up, if its just a harness then just buy a stock ecu off here for a few quid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) I ran my forged 5e in on a stock 4e ECU, standard map is really rich anyway, will be fine to run in, just dont go booting it too much, short bursts of boost to run in will be fine, maybe dont go above 0.5bar Edited October 10, 2013 by Taggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 just leave all the parameters blank in the emanage tables. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cturner93 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Just had a look at the emanage and it looks like its just an extended harness so i should just get away with unpluging it to run it in. Anyone agree? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
