Well, what a day mapping over at Zen Performance !!!
Having left there last week having cured why it was running lean at idle due to a dirty MAF sensor, the idea today was to finish the mapping and get it running sweetly in order to show the potential in the engine, turbo and other ancillaries ...... and I think we did it
Previously I had got it mapped to 1.6 bar with occasional peaks above that. Today I wanted a full 2 bar of boost heaven as the engine and turbo will all take it.
It started well enough but when boost was wound up during rescaling the MAF table for the now clean and fully functional MAF it started to develop a misfire, this same misfire had been there in various guises for a while but never cured itself not allowed outside intervention on the mapping to cure it. Plugs were changed for some NGK racing 8's as inspection showed the plugs gaps were well out and not surprisingly misfiring.
After the plug change, it was a different animal - what a beast 8) Paul wound it up to 1.8 bar and it sang so sweetly that we just had to go further :lol: 2 Bar was an easy step and the whole nature of the car changed from reasonably placid and sometimes temperamental road car that also goes on track, to a devil in disguise. The sounds changed, the thrust back into the seat (even 2 up) was stunning and it just kept going so strong that I was giggling like a 5 year old.
I think I can safely say it will be quite adequate
Got home not long ago shaking with excitement :pmsl: Knockhill will be perfect 8)
