Is it you and Litchfield Shaun or is the circle a little bigger, ie Renntech?

 

The "circle" may increase as required depending upon what work is done (testing), what developments take place and who is best placed to be involved.

I'd like to run some comparison product tests, but I suspect "other" tuners may not want to offer up this type of facility with me.

 

Not sure if this is of any interest to you Shaun but you never know.

Mcchip Boosts Mercedes A45 AMG to 453 PS:

 

 

I was in Mercedes Belfast first this morning, they had a brand new A45 in Red in the middle of the showroom - looked fantastic
They looked like they were getting ready to cover it - presumably for unveil to customer later

 

Get you hand in your pocket!

 

I know , but I'm a miserable *****.
I've my heart set of a C63 to replace my ageing CLK55

 

I think I may get a C63 next..... assuming nothing radically changes (new car wise) over the next 3yrs.

 

Shaun I'm thinking that the Rebellion contingent will be your biggest critics.

Seems to be some chest puffing going on already

 

You referring to the FB stuff?

It's probably because I'm an unknown within "their" scene tbh. It's one of those things.

Perhaps when they see the kind of information that will be made available and hopefully the developments that could be made, they may just change their opinion.

There doesn't seem to be many inquisitive minds in the community...... perhaps the results I gain, information I provide and discussions I try to invoke, may start to open up those types of conversation.

 

Here we go again guys........

 

Shaun where will anybody interested find information around this project other than the link. Be keen to have a read as you're good with the old project thread thing

What did it make in standard trim on the rollers?

 

dyno Queen.

 

I will be doing the black and white stuff on various forums..... I'll probably duplicate it on here as well.

I didn't actually run the car up for that photo..... work will be starting next week, so the project will be kicked off formally soon after.

Ditch,
I wouldn't want to disappoint.

 

My C63 has been struggling for grip since the weather turned cold, especially pulling out of junctions.

I'd love the 4wd that the A45 and GLA45 bring to the table.

 

Sorry Shaun, couldn't resist.


Subscribed.

 

I've just typed up a draft 3 page introduction to the project thread launch. This will be inbound shortly.

Raise the alarm to defcon 5!

 

Cor, finally!

Was just coming on for a weather update, was wondering when to batton down the hatches! It seems to be more of a prolonged drizzle at the moment

 

It's the other way around innit?... "1" being most severe?

"We ARE at Defcon 1. Repeat: We ARE at Defcon 1!!"

 

You're right.... "Nuclear war is imminent" - Defcon 1 it is!

 

Let the games begin......

Can see why you did it, sometimes feel the same when looking at getting into tuning a marque in which I'm not known, but it reads a bit like marketing blurb for something too good to be true, let's cut to the meat please

I cannot see how tuning boxes work well on modern ECUs, would love to see some good datalogging. Many modern cars don't have MAF sensors and rely on pre and post throttle pressure sensors and temperature sensors, with calculations to work out airflow. With these pressure sensors being manipulated, you could reshape the pressure sensor curves so that the ECU aims for extra boost. But it will surely make positive fuel trims based on lambda feedback and ignition retard based on knock feedback when it underfuels and over advances because the main load signal is artificially low.

On an old Scooby, it will fuel and time from the MAF sensor and you can raise the boost with a tighten of the actuator and fooling the MAP sensor, but it isn't tied down (presumably) MED17 which has lots of paranoid cross checks for plausibility, safety, torque monitoring, component protection.

 

John,
Natural reaction when you're an unknown can be "who the **** does this guy think he is". It's a fine line trying to get across my intention, without sounding like a tool, but at the same time getting a new audience to take you seriously, or be interested.

My project threads are as much about fun and community involvement, as they are revealing the in's and out's etc. I hope people find my threads entertaining as well as informative.

In respect of your last bit...... wrong thread - stick it in the project thread! The points you raise are EXACTLY what I want to understand and delve in to.

 

Wim Essing is already on to the A45 AMG with his tuning boxes.

I only know 'cos I fit 'em and seen it pop up in the applications database. Normally I have to program and fit them with a eco maps on diesel vans My experince with these has shown they do work, if programmed suitably. Both on petrol (direct injection) and diesel.

 

Shaun

Yep, everything above this

Ok enough of that…. what’s this go to do with us then?

is unecessary and does indeed make you soiund like a tool

Looking roward to reading the rest of it as it progresses however

 

I can't change looking like a tool..... I can only try and mask it!

 

is it me or does it sound like its farting when giving it some?

 

If your farts sound like that, you best get down A&E.

 

the new impreza does too, its usually the bottom end failing
