Picked up my car and dove back to AK yesterday.All good at the top of the Kaimais but found on the way home it was 'missing' a bit on vacumm [cruise no-load] so Jared sent me through a revised map to try. Power feels similar to my old set-up,definately more torquey & less laggy so all in all more road friendly.Just wish i knew the HP of my old set-up now.
Hi Gary
It's exactly the same tune just with a bit more fuel in the cruise part of the mapping
So just power up the ECU, with the laptop connected
then go to
FILE
OPEN
and click on the tune that I sent, it will load up
Hit BURN TO ECU and you'll be done
Probably a good idea to save it somewhere safe too
Amazing the difference that height can make to a tune, had almost exactly the same thing with a GTR skyline I did a few months back, we had it running perfect here, and the guy used it everyday, so wanted the very best in fuel economy, so we ran it real lean at light load, worked fine, but when he got to auckland, it had just a small surge (overly lean mixture) and would hunt a bit, gave it another 5% fuel and it's been fine ever since.
Don't worry about it hurting the engine the way it is, the mixtures are nice and safe under boost, and overly lean at very light load won't damage the engine.
Hows this for the efficiency of your B6T engine
Ran an old 2L SOHC Turbo Starion up on the dyno yesterday, had a similar sized turbo to yours, maybe a bit bigger,
Even though it had all the goodies, big exhaust, intercooler, etc, we couldn't get more power than 160 at the wheels, even on 10psi
Yet your little 1600 managed to hit 170 on less boost, the starion experienced mild detonation on 18' timing, yet yours had 22' on full load and not even a hint.
Guess size isn't everything, wasn't really that quick on the road either, the mx5 would have eaten it for lunch
