Just back from a visit to Andy Forrest, and i would like to thank him for the work and time he spent on my car today.It has totally changed the car and im loving it,hopefully i will get away with the pops and bangs as we had two close calls with the police on the way back.But i did say to him i would like it to pop and bang so thats what he did. It sounds like a rally car on the motorway it will do it constanly so im going to try and get used to the driving style by diping the clutch when your on the overrun if i dont want it to go off like a bomb.Sorry Andy for phoning you back about it so soon after leaving, but it seems to have been not to bad tonight. Thanks again and i would recomend you 1st to anyone, Sean

 

How mad/bad is this?

I want something similar, if i can't stretch to gems/autronic (ALS).

 

Metal loud mate but its a wekend car and i dont think it makes it a chavs car, 335bhp and 325 toque,turbo back exhaust panel fillter grade 7 plugs and a bigger fuel pump

 

Is that "mental" loud?

Oh well, i'll find out in 3 weeks Booked in for a noisy tweak.

 

Sorry mate you know what i mean.

 

Just had it done.

Got a feeling i wont be able to keep it on.

Smiled from Port Setton to Edinburgh. Quite unoffensive pops when windows closed and changing gears. In an area with buildings etc and overrun, a bit much.

It turned more heads than Kate Moss walking nude down the high street, which was a bit uncomfortable.

JUST WISH THIS WAS SWITCHABLE!!!

Come on Mr EcuTek, make a release of your app so we can switch it like high/low boost. There's plenty of people that would want it if it was. (The customers always right. )

 

hey Gaz, i was thinking aboot getting it dun, are the pops and bangs like OMFG loud or more like smaller ones? i like the idea of the pops and bangs but dinna want old ladies having heart attacks on the street when i drive past lol

 

It differs from car to car apparently. But it's closer to OMFG than mild parps.
Yesterdays was full on BANGs, even when 3 point turning apparently. But the guy loved it.

Mine, well they're more pops. Much louder pops than the exhaust made previously and very frequent. It is easy to produce them on command. Every 10th one or so, or when the exhaust is hotter produces the ALS-style bangs.

I reckon is makes about 1 bang, 5 pops on overrun from 3500rpm to 2500

I'm gonna try get some clips/movies done next week. Shame i'm away the w/end.

Jury's still out on whether i can keep it. But i'm gonna have plenty of smiles/laughs while i decide. Always wanted my rally slags to replicate the real thing and sound like that.

No doubt the better half will decide for me. It is her car afterall.

* i don't doubt i could keel over old folk in a built up area *

(and before anyone jumps on me, it's a joke. I'd dip the clutch. )

Just gotta get ECUTEK to make it switchable, then it would be perfect!!

 

quite a bit then lol

i wouldent imagine the local plod would be too keen on it though

like you say would be perfect if it was switchable, can it be switched on an apexi or is it ECUTEC only?

 

I am sure that you can have switchable MAPS. I am planning a Car PC with the DeltaDASH software installed, and with this you can switch stored MAPS.

Correct me if i am wrong though

Steve

 

Found link

Map Switching

Seems like this is the only option unless you replace the ECU..

 

Im going back to Andys next Monday to have it changed as it great fun but its doing it all the time,and the wife hates it,i hope they will sort it so you can work it from a switch

 

so got any clips yet? im wanting to hear this

 

Me too... and I assume you've gotta have a FULL De-CAT rather than a Sports CAT in the system?? (on a Newage STi)


Cheers,
Grant

 

NEGATIVE !! I have a Sport Cat on my car and had this enabled for 15 mins or so..........it was immense but I opted to have it switched off....Pops and bangs got better are the exhaust got hotter !

Ecutek really ought to link this to the aircon button or something so that it's switchable

 

Will be paying Mr Forrest a visit next month.

Might say no the the offer of pops and bangs though !

Andy Mc

 

It is bloody loud, al tell ya!!!!!!

but it's bloody good.....

 

Can someone throw up a video of this.... I'm dying to hear this in action.


Cheers,
Grant

 

LOL

 

How come none of the rest of us type text like moses does?

 

ive heard quite a bit about this moses guy but never seen any of his posts lol, he never seems to come to the scottish section does he?

 

I think he is actually banned buddy...



Andy - lol at the type text!

 

It is quite un-offensive with the bung in. But unlike the car Andy mapped before mine. Mine's not full-on ALS style bangs, but are more frequent.

So even if you're planning a quiet drive, people hear pops all the time. I do like when it does the double ones.

Unless it can be mapped further up the range, ie. 3500+ Then mine will have to come off.

I'm taking some pics of meercat exhaust for the bandit, so i may be able to get a clip or two.

It is louder when the exhaust is hotter though. Will see what i can do...

 

Gonna try get some clips the w/end, as i'm laid up in bed with fluids exiting everywhere.

 

ok thats a little more info than we needed lol but hope ya get better soon and get those clips made

 

Here's a couple.

The best one, (after the exhaust was warm) typically didn't record as the memory card was full, so will do another later...

Some good clips there Gaz.....

just hope you *** isn't popping like yer exhaust, or you'll need a new bogpan...

 

Thanks for the clips mate... didn't mean to annoy you out of your bed to make them!!

That is pretty severe popping..


Cheers,
Grant

 

My body has stopped popping and i needed an excuse to get out.

Shame the latter ones didn't record, they were monsters.

I'm tempted to do some night ones, see if they flame. I don't think so, as i did about 50 miles the night it was done and didn't see the road light up behind me... But who knows

So, anyone tempted to get it done?
You'll deffo get an ASBO though.

 

Just thought i'd record after a warm exhaust. Yep, it flames!!!
