Just want to post about how happy I am with Andrew Carr working his magic on my car, I've read posts about him been hard to get hold of etc etc. I've had no bother at all and communication has been spot on, he emailed my RR graphs out the next day along with some use information for my future plans.

My hatch has recently been built by Richard Henrys who have also been brilliant and the car made 450/420 on a std pos GT30.

is it still a 2.5?

Makes a refreshing change to read a positive post about remapping,very nice power the car must pull really well
Which RR did you use?
Also,always nice to see a nice graph if you don't mind sharing

watty88

yes still 2.5, hopefully future proofed it with the closed deck inserts, 14mm head studs etc

watty88

yea that's why I thought I'd write something and give my personal feedback, thanks and yes feels very nice on the road although it is quite laggy it's helped along with the flat foot shifting.

Used the RR over at teg sport carnforth, not sure if it's Andrews or Tegs actually. Yes I will try upload the graph not uploaded a pic before so bare with.

watty88

That was easier than I thought actually, my first RR printout any thoughts?

Nino87

Where did you get the map done? Was it at Richard Henrys?

watty88

no see above mate, went over to teg sport carnforth. Andrew carr does do road maps at Richard Henrys though every other Tuesday.

Nino87

Cheers dude. Completely bypassed that comment. Eyes not working today.
Don't fancy a Road tune. Can't get the map 100% imo

Why doesn't he do ECUTek anymore, out of interest?

watty88

no problem, can't blame you it's Friday! Yes I have to agree with the road maps not been 100%

watty88

Not sure Jay, he did mention that but noting about why he stopped. I asked about ecus and he mentioned something labs might of been Ecu labs? Must be what he's started doing.

I think both have their place,was it signed off with a final road map after the RR sesh? Not sure how much it matters or if just RR is ok?

watty88

No he did five runs on the RR which I was surprised with, so plenty of tweaking going on. He had previously road mapped it only a month before to get me up and running as I was too impatient following the lonngg 1000m run in.

The road map showed 430/390 on the RR first run so it shows how much more he got out of it on the RR.

Tidgy

reason i asked about the 2.5 is torque seems pretty low and as you said pretty laggy. Typically you'd expect torque to be higher than the bhp on a 2.5.

As long as its running safe afr and not detting its all good.

watty88

Thanks appreciate the feedback bud, I think the reason the torque is low is because of the turbo I have, the exhaust housing is very big and due the the size of the turbo that's why it spools up so late. Sorry if that don't make complete sense, I'm still learning my stuff as I go along and can't remember everything he told me.

He said for the torque to be higher and as expected, the turbo needs to be spooling up before 4K revs.

Would you be able to explain safe afr and detting briefly?

Tidgy

power is nothing if the engine is pushed to far that it self destructs, AFR = Air fuel ratio, aka the air and fuel going into the engine needs to be balanced. Det is when the fuel ignites or burns at the wrong time so damages the engine.

Have a read,

Basicly AFR needs to be right and det is bad.

Normaly you get a power/torque graph and a boost afr,

watty88

Thanks tidgy I will have a good read later.

The other graphs I received are the before and after as well as a lmbda graph.

Tidgy

have a read, lambda is the AFR reading

watty88

Ah right ha ok then I'm learning a lot and have some more geeking to do later then thanks. I'll put that graph on see what you think.

Tidgy

looks pretty much spot on,

Mine was awful (not by Andy) and now I daren't drive my Blob until it's mapped again lol.

Tidgy

First port of call go back to the mapper and complain.

Mr carr has tweaked my map today at m.b developments. Great mapper and car feels great

Although Andrew did not map it have you asked him to remap it?

Jay Cartay

iTrader: (3)

It's not ready yet mate. Doing some upgrades first.

Tidgy my "mapper" isn't going anymore for some strange reason

S204Darren

Picked up a standard Spec C hawkeye today from MattyB's that Andy had mapped and I've got to say it's a great map, pulls hard in every gear. Feels punchy and fast, well done Mr Carr.

You must have landed the spec c hatch by now? How many cars do you need?!!

S204Darren

The Spec C was a car I imported for someone and needed mapping for U.K fuel. Apparently Paul Walker said you can never have enough cars so I'm living life by those rules. Lol

watty88

Can anybody help me understand boost pressure please, so since the remap I've had a little issue with the car overboosting and going into limp mode. After restarting the car a few times the fault resets itself.

I have ordered a Perrin 4 bar map sensor this morning and meeting the mapper on Tuesday for a tweak and for him to hopefully fit the sensor and map it in.

Does this mean I could run more than 1.6bar boost with the new sensor now? From what I've read the standard senor os maxed out at 24psi which is about 1.6bar (I think)

Thanks
