Switchable maps

[IrishDave]

How does this work on our cars using the standard ecu (BAM code) and who offers it during mapping.

Rick at Unicorn Motor Developments would be a good man to speak to, he is a forum sponsor.

5 boost maps also something I do... wideband only

 

[kwistof]

wideband only

This makes me sad

 

[badger5]

This makes me sad

so go wideband..

not such a big deal

many upsides

 

[Andrew@A.L.D]

It can be done with narrow band.

I went wide band just because I thought its a better ecu to run for BT

 

[IrishDave]

Wide band as in me7 ecu found in later S3's say 2002 on.
@Bill.
When you say 5 switchable boost maps, I pressume that includes fueling and timing to match.
The reason I ask is what I am looking for is 3 different maps.
1. For standard fuel
2. For fuel + water/meth
3. Fuel and meth mix + water/meth

Is what I am wanting possible.

or golf/leon etc also.. yes Generally >2001 models

Nope. x5 boost levels... switchable.
with lower loads the rest of the maps work to their settings..
I dont do switchable ign as well as boost...

corrections for wmi on/off are usually dealth with by ait compensations.

Surely 3 stage switch would do.

1. Wifes setting
2. Getting it though the MOT setting
3. My setting

 

[badger5]

mot testing would require no change surely?

 

[Trig0r]

Not even if you run a decat?

 

[Rick @ Unicorn Motor Dev.]

I can do narrow band no problem, different boost, different fuel, different ignition, Meth inj etc. Also launch control and flatshift.

Bill's point is that the idle area of the map/tune is no different regardless of what happens on throttle.

Thanks, Rick

no.. emissions for hc etc would fail mot obviously, but lambda control is just that. lambda = 1 on idle by design. Not adjusted when tuning... you dont make power @ idle

My apr software is switchable via cruise control stalk. Was done by a Awesome gti about 10 years ago

[dannyh]

I had APR switchable by awesome on my leon, never actually swapped them though lol

 

[JimS3]

And of course there is Revo software. 9 switchable boost setting, 9 timing levels.

 

[IrishDave]

I dont think an sps will quite do the trick.

 

[:: blade ::]

id like to have that on mine, eco mode and boooost mode

 

[Rick @ Unicorn Motor Dev.]

Well you're only 40 mins from me

 

[A3-Lee]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I've always wondered how you switch between the 5 different maps?

 

[:: blade ::]

Rick you have a PM

 

[Rick @ Unicorn Motor Dev.]

You can do it with cruise control, but not all cars have that which is why I developed a method using the pedals. Press them for a certain time etc and the map switches, and it shows on the rev counter which map set is selected.

Clever stuff
