Wish me luck people

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Mapping day tomorrow ( 5th Sept ) I am crapping it right now hoping everything will be ok

I know the engine is strong and just a little worried about the clutch

Anyway lets hope i can break the 500 bhp mark?

 

[S3 Rav]

Good luck mate. Alot Of hard work gone in there hopefully it'll all pay off. Who's mapping it btw?

 

[s3_stig]

Good luck mate. Wish I had 500bhp

 

[MUSH]

Good luck bud

 

[voorhees]

I hope you get the power/torque you wanted Andrew

 

[s3dave]

Good luck Andrew, im sure everything will be fine, i think RS in leeds is doing his map Rav...

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Paul @ RS Tuning in Leeds is mapping it.

I'll be chatting to Andy about his Tigra most of the time i bet

 

[s3gazz]

Good look pal

 

[<tuffty/>]

Good luck mate... be interesting to see what you can get out of her...

<tuffty/>

 

[dannyh]

Good look mate I hope you get the 500 you want

 

[rhubarb4]

Good luck dude

 

[s3 Hoggy]

Good luck pal!

 

[JonBoi25]

all the best buddy , sounds like shes more than ready for it !.

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Thanks guys, must remember to take my camera to take pics and videos of it

 

[jojo]

Goodluck mate!

 

[Dibdub1]

Sounds awesome! Good luck fella, I'm sure you'll be fine! Look forward to hearing the results!

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

see you soon, 10am book in time

 

[badger5]

good luck Andrew - hope it all goes well

 

[DaveA3]

good luck mate! cant wait to see some figures

 

[Slammedorion]

Good luck Andy :thumbsup:

 

[Syvo]

Good Luck hope you hit the 500 mark

 

[Sandip]

Hope it's going well, you'll get over 500bhp

 

[666markyboy]

whats the latest ???

Any crack matey??

I'm sure a beer would be strong enough...

 

[dannyh]

.....well.......

 

[Dane]

I hope it went well dude

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

Not to planned really.

Spent most of the day trying to make it idle due to the lightened flywheel.

Managed to do a few runs, first run i had plumbed in the external gate wrong and it was running massive boost and paul had to back off at 4500 as it was pulling itself out of the rollers !!!, we redid the wastegate to only ran it at 10psi and it made just under 300 at 4000 rpms

Paul really doesn't like the narrow band lambda set up and i'm sure badger will also say its a pain also and he recommend i fit the 225 TT/S3 wide band ECU so we can keep a eye on my readings and do a MAF delete that way also.

With these problem done he said it would be a monster of a car with loads of torque !!

[Andy123]

Was a wideband lambda not hooked up to the car or have you only got the one boss for the lambda? What flywheel are you running?

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

The early S3 run narrow band, I don't understand mapping so maybe badger will explain it all if he reads this

A very light TTV flywheel

 

[Andy123]

Yeah I was just wondering if you had another boss to put a wideband sensor in to map it. Do you know if he had a head up reading of the air fuel ratio/lambda whilst trying to map it? Either way you will want some form of wideband lambda reading as the narrow band reading is useless for tuning an engine as it doesn't give you a precise reading of the AFR when it is much richer and leaner.

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

He ran a lambda in the exhaust

I think its more likely to do with my spec of my engine running a narrow band thats the problem

 

[<tuffty/>]

non wideband ECU's are trickier to tune than wideband ECU's fo sho... ME7.5 is a nicer ECU... still need to know what you are doing of course

Bad luck mate... the path to power is never a straight one, I am still wearing that particular t-shirt...

Interesting that you may be having a MAF delete... not sure how thats going to affect the running of the car as a daily driver but can see the advantages on a track/race car..

The Mk2 Golf Bill built recently is running a DTA ecu MAF less at around 450 odd bhp and a Leon race car with just over 500bhp on a Bosch ecu running a MAF...

Not sure I would want to go MAF less but as you have pushed the envelope a little with this build why the hell not

<tuffty/>

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

It was just something Paul said about the Maf delete

Not sure how it's done but he did say I had a thick ecu

 

[MUSH]

Gutted mate, shame you never got what you wanted. Does it run ok now though?

Good advice from Paul. Same reason ive upgraded to a wideband ME7.5 ECU, as i thought tuning would be problematic. Plus its a bit safer in running big turbo setups for the accurate fuelling and ability to manage EGTs.0

Got any graph pics? When does the boost come in? SO many questions!! Lol

 

[s3dave]

At least hes looking after the cars welfare,,,
Yeah ive heard of tuners putting a stand alone wideband in for mapping... is a ME7.5 going to be a ballache for immobiliser issues?

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

No graphs no nothing sorry guys

It can be disabled (immo defeat as it is known as) or resync'd to the cluster... its how replacement ECU's can be fitted... not sure on the process though..
