hey guys,

im kind of a regular reader, but not posted to much as my Wagon has been off the road due to HG popping

had the lump out and done the job my self for the fun and to save pennies ( Ken Gilbert online mannuals, and a step by step gid off here where a great help)

ive had heads fully cleaned and re faced, new cossie gaskets, new head bolts, all fluids and filters changed, also done disks and pads, plugs and leads now shes back together and running again

im looking at getting a re map done, i know its been mapped in the past, (TD05 Turbro, fuel pump, DV, 3port boost sol, full de-cat turbo back) but not sure who by or when it was last mapped tho...will this matter?

so how do i find out what map it has and will any mapper be happy mapping it for me not knowing its history?
i have a P reg (96) UK Turbo 2000, anyone recomened a mapper in the DEVON area...sorry for the long post

Thanks in advance
Damon

Enginetuner is in Plymouth, give alan or martyn a ring

 

thanks Greg, will they be happy to map not knowing who the previous mapper was, i have no licence paperwork or anything

 

Yep, no problems at all

 

do you know what ecu you have then, if its prev been mapped, standard ecu cant be remapped.

 

probably be an esl btw

 

happy days, just need get MOT booked and then i can take her for a nice run down the M5 and get my self to Plymouth,

dont suppose anyone would have a rough idea on what power i should be looking at with my set up, running on 99 fuel?

TD05 Turbro, 255 fuel pump,DV, 3port boost sol, full de-cat turbo back, HKS Mushroom filter

Thanks

 

not sure, and my car is currently 200 mile away so cant just pop outside n check lol going to get her MOT'd on 8th june and just looking/asking around now as want to get her mapped and on RR asap

 

Your OEM 380cc injectors and tiny TMIC will limit to about 280bhp and slightly less torque. My old MY93 made 282/273, as an example.

But the turbo would otherwise max out anywhwere between c.320-350.

 

thanks joz

oops forgot the 440 injectors! plus and im looking to go for a V6/7 TMIC before map

 

In that case, happy days.

But the 440s, in practice, max between 325-340 odd. But at least it's much nearer the turbo's capability...

But I hope you're going in with your eyes wide open, as regards potential longevity of the motor/'box?

 

anything near or above 300 ill be more than happy with
i also have £4500 of of paper work from Grahem Goode for full engine rebuild and a comprhensize service history and supporting paper work so HOPEFULLY the motor will hold up for a while yet as is only done 15000 since the re build,

cheers again guys, never fail to get an answer of SN member, great bunch of guys

 

Nice car but please get rid of the tacky chav stickers, they ruin what would be a nice car.

 

thanks Dave!
you'll be pleased to know, they are long gone! apart from the ones on the roof, not got round to them yet, the rest went as soon as i got her home, then a few hous spent polishing and she looks spot on now, roof stickers are next job on the list after STI TMIC

 

Good man! You know it makes sense!

Have you confirmed your car has an esl ecu fitted then?

 

yeah i hate them, previous owner had a graphic company and decidied to use the car as a blank canvas

not confimed it, but im 90% sure it will be, going off a quick bit of mooching the forum
im not able to get to my car untill 8th June as im in Devon and car is currently in Gloucester but soon as i get back up there ill get pics and post again to get a definative answer
