Plug n play FC?

[Andyp]

Hello!

Just got back from having my decat fitted *hehe* that puts even more excitement in the drive!

Turns out my cat was nothing but molten rock ;(

Wanna put my power fc in now.. got decat on a kakimoto R and hks race induction as my mods.. is it a case of slipping the ECU out *do they just pull out* and pushing the FC in with the ignition off?

fanks!

Have ya got ya boost back now Andy?

[Andyp]

Andy, I got kinda a manual boost controller fitted last time I went, Basically just a few valves to turn the boost up n down.

Boost seems to hit a steady 0.7 bar now, obviously with a bit of tweaking should hit 0.8 no probs. 2nd turbo was being a bit funny when I was trying it out earlier, still felt like something was holding it back when it got a bit over 0.6.. kinda felt a bit lazy, like it is when ya HT leads are crapped..  but saying that after a bit of a run I just had.. I planted it in 2nd gear and it seemed fine.. gonna have a good chance to try it on the run to germany hehe, keep tweaking it on fuel stops

I want to get the apexi in there now as I wanna keep an eye on everything... wanna get that commander fired up to tell me whats going on while i\'m out there

your gonna love the power increase Andy

Blitzboy >> thanks mate i\'ll give it a quick read

[ScuttleRX]

your gonna love the power increase Andy

Hopefully get it on before next drag day Is there a drag strip at JAE dya know?

[BlitzBoy]

yeah you gonna luv the power of the Apexi FC, I was running 12-13psi before my water seals went, the thing was rapid i was giving a Ferrari 360 grief down a dual carriage nearby, the look on his face everytime he looked in his rear view mirror and I was filling it lol

[Andyp]

No theres no strip at JAE mate.. there\'s a gokart track, you could take it on there

Hope ya like a bit more smoke too Andy

Dam i\'m gonna get myself some ear muffs hehe

Don\'t think mines gonna be Rari` beating on the base map.. mind you.. I did do 265bhp with half a bar of boost and and blocked cat.. gwad knows what its running at hehe.. have a look when I map it

[davefrith]

should get 265RWBHP mate

[BlitzBoy]

was that 265 at the wheels Andy??

[ScuttleRX]

the pod it is then (and hopefully the high 12\'s, need to knock off another .02!)  although the go kart track sounds fun

you should be looking at a fair few ponies then once its all done, you still gonna use JPS for your mapping?

[Andyp]

yeah was 220 somminc at the wheels that other figure we  worked out at the fly.

I can imagine your rx7 zooming round the kart track pushing the little karts out the way lol

Gonna talk to Leon when I get back from Germany, he\'s currently getting the mapping stuff from the PFC so should av it soon. Think I will take it over there, though he takes it to a rolling road place *can\'t remeber where, probably g-force* to sort out everything afaik, either way its nice n close

let ya know when I go down though mate, be cool if we both go

[BlitzBoy]

Yeah Leon is good with Supras
but I dont think he has that much experiance in tuning Rotarys,
I hope he remebers he cant be that agressive with mappings on a Rotary then he can on a Piston Engine.
Would it not be wiser taking it to Pip Gardner instead, might be worth the extra mileage

[ScuttleRX]

Nice one, although i\'ve heard some rumours that Nemesis have someone that can map rotaries now so may also have a local one

Still let us know wen you go though cos i havent confirmed this yet

How long before your off to the ring, must be pretty soon now?

[Andyp]

Leons been working on rotories for over 10 years. more than confident he knows his stuff

Wheres nem andy?

Going off tonight at 2:30am

[ScuttleRX]

ah, very soon then! now understand the urgency in getting the de-cat!

Nems in colchester, bout 15 mins from me, 5mins from the g/fs
First time I went ages ago they said they couldnt do mapping, but ive seen Gary G post on here saying they have a bloke (Yan i think) who can do it, on someone elses rollers. And considering I only need a slight tweek im hoping they\'ll be able to do it...but we shall see
