Have a simtek fitted on MY99 with map switching via throttle pedal, does anybody know if i can change over the switching to a dash mounted switch

also getting the diagnostic lead and dongle Not for changing the map just for data logging and fault finding, can anybody give me any tips on using this

 

ask your mapper mate

 

I want to find out if this can be done easily instead of bothering my mapper

 

you have to set a toggle in the ecu to say via switch rather than via throttle..

Simon

 

how much a mapper charge to do a toggle mate?

 

Can this be done via the programming lead or is it a jumper, also is there any pdf's about the simtek

 

on a car I mapped I won't charge anything.

Simon

 

programming lead and then it needs wiring to ecu..

not aware of a pdf.

Simon

 

Is there any manual available to give me the details for doing this

 

Sorry to hijack mate, but i also have a simtek controlled off the accelerator pedal, Map 1 is for V-power (99), Map 2 is for regular 95. Was just wondering if i had a mate to take the car for a spin, would it do ny damage to run the car on map 2 (95) wilst having a tank of 99 in the car??sorry if it seems daft, just thought it might be handy for him to gt used to the car on less power then when ready switch it to quicker map?
Thanks Rob

 

no you will do no damage, you will be able to run on the 95map with 99ron fuel not the other way round thought dont run the vpower map with anything else but v power.

Sweet, just thought it might be handy, especially when the mrs borrows it (more economy,less boost!) wouldnt dream of running 99 map with 95 not quite that dull!!you say dont run anything but v-power, surely tesco momentum 99 will be ok??!

 

Yeh tesco 99 will be fine on the 99 map i run the tesco fuel on my v power mapped car but only if im sruggling to find v power(wich i becoming a lot as shell keep running out near me)

 

yeah i know what you mean about getting the stuff, like gold dust round here, three garages in my area only one has excellium 97, other two are 95. gotta travel 8 miles to get my v-power fix!!nightmare, cheers 4 ya help mate :-)

 

no, you need a simtek dealer to do it

 

Changing it to switch activated is very straight forward as long as you have the dongle, cable & software. If you dont have these then you need a Simtek tuner.
