simtec fitted
just had my simtec fitted and mapped by BRDevelopments
first 1 Bob Rawle has ever done , yes i was his guninea pig
did it on the rollers at AP Motors Ltd - Home then finalised it on the road
previous power run at APM was 440 / 469
now it's 464 / 505
was a fun drive home
cheers to Bob Rawle , and Kevin Hodson and Andy Hodson at AP Motors
can't wait to get it on the strip now and beat my 11.82

What ECU duid you run previously?
A big gain.
What turbo do you run?
Well done.
Very interesting and a fantastic result if this is the first one of these ECUs the guy has mapped.

It was probably about six hours (but the oil change, charge temp sensor fit and antilag enable switch fit etc took up the first hour and a half) but I always work fixed price so no extra charge to Dazza from me, started mapping in earnest at about 11:00 and finished at 14:00, no starting point, no base map so first principles. Some experimentation to suss the software capability involved as well, normally when starting with a new ecu I would fit to my car and do all the up front type experiments but Dazza's need was greater.
I'll add another post tomorrow about how it went, only just got back, "bit of a day" so to speak, up at 05:15 this morning.
cheers

Bob, come on now, we both know you are being evasive here. Was Dazza good for you or not ?
Sounds like a hard days work, impressive results.

Needs more stickers though!!
Great result with the Simtek ECU too; that's some increase in torque!

Hi Andy, ecu defaults are nothing like a correctly prepared base map which is, in my terms, totaly different. Since this is the starting point for Simtek with BRD then I didn't, of course, have anything other than defaults to work from. The car fired up fine, ran for all of 3 secs on the defaults before it died. You'll see what I mean when you start, for a pretty basic upgrade of exhaust, induction etc then defaults should be expected to start and idle the car. Darrens car ... lol it was never likely to happen.
The defaults in the ecu are no better or worse than Link or Motec et al provide, same scenario just different hardware.
Darren's car was a very good motivator to get up to speed quickly.
I didn't get the one on one run through the software as you had at Autosport.
cheers
