Map needed....

[jay]

Lookin for a bit of advice boys.....I\'ve got a 94 type r, runnin Apexi pfc,Blitz front  mount,Hks induc,no cat,one off jap built exhaust(fitted with baffleasit is too loud),the pfc is runnin base map.I\'m not havin any problems that I can see apart from fuel consumption which I assume may have something to do with base map runnin rich as i\'ve been told this is the case. Anyway boost seems fine as does everything else.I would just like to get it set up correctly.Mark at Abbey has said he can do this and i know he knows hus stuff as he has built 2 of my mates astonishing Skylines.The point bein They are Skyline specialist and I feel a rotary expert would be better.I live in essex but can cope with a drive to an expert if required.Any ideas,some people have suggested Max, is this Maxim off of here?Also is this the sort of job that can be done in a day?
Thanks for your help....Jay...:wave

You might be surprised how many cars from here have been done (or at least on the rollers) at Abbeys now.  If they say they can do it, then im sure they can so its up to you.

IMHO, no-body over here seems that great at mapping but we are getting there.

I heard that was the case.Maybe I should just leave it as it is?
Still got that sspoiler for sale Lee?

I think a few of us essex/london boys need a map or things checking over, depending how long it takes for each car we could go down somewhere together.

[J4P RX]

I think you should get it done somewhere.  Doesnt seem much point in having a power FC to jsut run base map.

Spoiler is now sold.  All I have left from them bits is the bonnet I think.

Sounds like a good idea Graham. I dont have a clue how long it would take.Missed the last meet and it would a good oppurtunity to some faces to names.We should look into this.Good to see you sorted that boost problem aswell mate:)

Hi Jay,
Mark at Abbey has seen myself and a friend do a car there and maybe has picked up on what we have done.It is a single with only 415 hp flywheel.
Kind regards

I was going to see Ant in Portsmouth or Max in Winchester - both can have a look to see whats happening but i think (if i\'m wrong i apologise) we will have to go somewhere with a rolling road to get a full map.

If you find a good one we should go - i was looking to go somewhere week after next.

Mapping a car on road can be done if you have good roads to do it on (as I do, luckily), and more importantly a decent wideband oxygen sensor to measure your air/fuel ratio\'s.

I have done it this way myself, and just used rolling road sessions to confirm and measure the results. Nothing like a nice graph plot!

If you don\'t have a wideband, then you need a rolling road with their own air/fuel probe, which they shove up yer pipe

There are quite a scattering of people able to tune these Apexi\'s now. The best tool to use is a laptop and datalogit with FCEdit software, which saves no end of time in making adjustments!

Could we all come to you Max?

[maximtaylor]

As per my previous post, I can\'t tune other peoples cars without going on a rolling road, or you have a wideband fitted.

If you want to go the rolling road route, which it sounds like you do, then maybe it would be a good idea for someone to organise a rolling road day with perhaps 4 or 5 cars.

However in the first instance I would suggest speaking to someone like geff at Re:Worx, who does this sort of thing for a living.

If you have no joy, and I have the spare time, then I may be able to tune for you, but I would prefer not to take business away from anyone.

Thanks for the advice Max. I think I will speak to Geoff and also Pip and see what they can do.I will speak to them about a group of us goin if possible so anyone who is interested let me know and I\'ll see what we can do.
  Cheers Jay...:wave

Jay,

I\'d be interested, currently running base Apexi map.

Tryin to get some details on this one. I think a mapping session might have to be very small numbers due to time constraints.Not sure yet.I\'m also thinkin of perhaps sortin a rollin road day out as well,purely just to see how are motors are runnin.I will post a seperate thread about this when i get some details.as regards the mappin session i will try to sort this out ASAP,so if your definately interested let me know.Should have idea in the next couple of days.
 Cheers Jay...:wave

I\'ll up for it for sure - if you come along on Sat we can discuss it further then.
