So, it's time I updated this thread....
Lots had been going on with the car, few track days, few drives out and lots of fun.
Decided that I wanted a bit of a challenge. I've got quite in to mapping recently, so thought what better to do than buy an ECU, fit it to the car and teach myself to map it from the ground up. So that's exactly what I did:
So far, I haven't had a lot of time to actually spend mapping it. But the idle is now better than ever, light load is all mapped and there's plenty of fuelling in it to mean it can be driven around. To be honest, it's not bad. The spark timing still needs work, so when I've got some spare time I need to get back to the dyno and 'don the knock headphones and spend a little longer making sure it's running at it's optimum....
All good fun!!!
Also, in other news, I've bought a BTCC exhaust manifold, some bigger injectors and with the new ECU it will be interesting to see what numbers it pulls....
