Hi all just come back from Dynotech Hayes Engineering in Erith and got the car on the rolling road for a power run and to check the afr's ect..

Bit confused because the car made 256bhp and i was told im running mega rich thats causing me the loss of power. Been told a remap will sort this out.

The car is a Impreza wrx sti type r v6 v limited (2000) and ever since i have got it i have noticed its costing me alot in fuel, More then my mates scooby.

I have posted up my rolling road print outs and if someone could be as kind as to have a look and tell me if i do need a remap or not ?? Is the car safe to drive like this ?? And is my loss in power down to running mega rich ?? Also where is the best place in south east (i live in kent) to get a remap on the ecutek ecu ??






I dont really understand these graphs lol

 

**** yeah thats rich, looks like the fueling goes off the bototm of the graph.

Needs looking at to see if its a mechanical issue, but could well be a mapping issue so need a remap.

 

Oh the car is completely standard

 

yeah will need mapping then, wont have been mapped for uk fuel, not sure whos decent down south im afraid, scoobyclinic do all my work inc mapping but there midlands (worth a trip im though )

 

Cheers for the reply mate... How would i tell if was a mechanical issue ???

The car is a fresh import but sva apparently said they flashed the ecu to run v-power

 

flash map, ahh s**t, dont drive it mate, park it up till its sorted.

flash maps are a massive no no on scoobs for this very reason, map is wrong for the car.

Now you have said that it def sounds like a mapping issue

 

Try Jolly Green Monster on here

 

Or Duncan @ Racedynamix

 

Great more money chucked at it now.. My next question is if im going for a remap is the standard engine safe to be mapped in at 1bar - 1.2 bar ??? Also i have a Greddy profec b spec 2 electronic boost controller off my old car is it best to have that fitted or is it beeter to control boost via a map ?? If i have to get it mapped im prob gonna go for a cat back, panel
filter and a fuel pump

 

Boost will be controled by ecu so dont need boost controller, mapper will be able to set it at a safe level, rather than just x amount.

 

Ok i will sell the boost controller and get some money towards a map. Just so annoying have not had car long and im scared to drive it in case i cause damage. Not to mention the problems i have had with sva.. Does anyone recommend Slow Boy Racing ?? They are not to far away from me, Have heard good things about jolly green Motorsport so will check them out too

 

If i got a frsh import first thing i would do is have it health checked (even if seller claims to have) and mapped for the right fuel with work carried out by a reputable specialist. Jap and UK fuel arn't the same.

 

Yea this is why i payed for it to go on a rolling road .. Have put it in subaru aswell few days ago to have everything checked aswell. Oh well looks like it gonna be sitting in the garage for a while now

 

Dealer is unlikley to know what to do with it, alot of jap imports come in modified, a dealer is unlikley able to cope with mod'd parts. They can check general mechanical stuff, but anything beyond plugging in a diagnostic tool or checking for rattles and leaks will be over there heads.

 

Yea to be honest when sva said they flash mapped it for v-power i didnt really belive them... Had to many problems with them now. It will only be going to Subaru or a specialist

 

Aye, the local dealer wouldn;t touch mine, not even to change a bulb, way too many mods for them to risk it so they said lol

Decent specialist is worth there weight in gold, there knowledge is learnt of many years and alot from tunign as to what works, what does, whats good and whats bad, standard or aftermarket

 

lol yea toyota said the same about my other car... Dont plan to mod this one to much tho.. Thanks for your replys tho mate

 

no bother at all

 

Tbh that just how thy are standard, very rich.

Yes you would gain power and torque and drivesbility and a little mpg with a remap and it would be safe for uk fuel. However they normally detcan check them at hayes anyway?

Simon

 

cant relay tell how rich though, way it flatlines at the bottom im guessin means off the scale.

 

Hi mate, What do you mean by detcan ?? If you mean check for det with headphones yea they done that down there. Also im on your webpage and on your facebook but cant see where your based ?? Might just be me being blind.

So mines ment to be running that rich then ?? Hayes did say should be alright to drive just needs bit of fuel taken out

 

JGM is mobile dude

 

Two runs, one off the scale, one clipping along it.
With no changes and back to back runs you would assume it wasnt massively different as if it were the power curve would massively different.

 

Yes headphone.

It would definitly benefit from it.

Live in maidstone but travel all over, was in surrey yesterday, currently in plymouth awaiting a customers arrival and tomorrow I am in Newbury

Simon

 

Ha ha i live in maidstone aswell so thats a bonus.. I will prob be in contact with you very soon. Are all the prices on your website upto date ?? I will obv get my catback and panel filter first then have it mapped

 

Simon is mobile, yes .. but I think lives Maidstone way .. so not far from you

 

The simtek prices are out of date but otherwise yes
