Ok so my car has / will have the following list before going for a map session, looking for around 330/340ish don't mind it being lower so long as it pulls well.

Car is a 1999 WR Sport RB5

1). Walbro 255 Pump.
2). Fuel lab pressure regulator.
3). STi v8 top mount intercooler.
4). K&N panel filter.
5). TD05 16g Turbo.
6). Sports cat and straight through pipe.
7). Denso 3 port boost solenoid.
8). Brembo front brakes to help it stop!

Would there be anything else except the mapping session that I should consider before it goes for the mapping?

Cheers

Paul

 

New heat 7 spark plugs

 

Nice new oil. Tyres all in good nick, and the right pressures.

 

Stage 2 clutch.

 

Good luck

 

luck will no doubt be needed lol

 

What do you mean by stage 2? it's got a 230mm exedy clutch and new flywheel, thought it'd be enough as I won't be launching it.

 

It will have a full service including decent plugs to help

 

Stage 2 is just the next step up from the standard clutch.
The standard clutch is only really rated to around 300bhp so if your looking to go above that then ideally you need an uprated organic clutch, which you may already have ?

 

The clutch you have should be fine, Paul.

Ignore all this Stage 1,2,3 bollocks, it's, well bollocks.

Had the same clutch in mine since, actually I can't remember the year. It had been in 2 days when I did my 12.4s run at Elvington, so it's coped fine with a good few launches and every day use.

 

Clutch you have will be fine.

I would suggest though its very prudent to check (best as you can) the health of the clutch before a mapping session as I am certain many a mapping session has been cut short or simply wasted due to a clutch not coping with the increased performance!

 

Yup clutch is fine for that power. My clutch has held fine at 340 and plenty of hard launches :')

 

clutch life is fine, only done a couple of thousand miles (everyday driving, no track etc).

 

Yeah, I wasnt trying to worry you mate. Yours may be fine, I only mentioned it as mine started slipping at 340ish and it was only 15k old. See how it goes, but its certainly worth upgrading if you have the cash.

 

who is doing the map mate?

 

Think I've decided on duncan, will ask him to come here as well.

 

What ECU?

 

Not 100% on that, any way I can tell?

It would of been the Prodrive one originally (RB5 WR Sport) but it's been tinkered with in the past so unsure now.

 

No Open Sauce on classics, so you can rule Duncan out.

 

Strange, I spoke to him about having it done a while back he seemed fine about it

Unless he got it confused with a RB320???

I'll ask him again, if not I'll be on the hunt again, bob rawle, simon etc. They are all just as good as each other so I can gather, just happened to speak to Duncan first.

 

Just had a butchers on Duncan's website, it's listing EcuTek for classics.

I wasn't aware that he was an EcuTek dealer.
