clio going for ITB's tomorrow

[Andy GDI]

On RStunings Rollers, pauls car standard (before the supercharger) made 158bhp on them. So we are seeing + 40bhp gains, we are only on 420 cams aswell.
4K is steep though, payed lees than half that doing the work yourself in the garage FTW!

You did get quite alot of help as well.

 

[Adey.]

you will fricking love itbs, the noise alone is spunk worthy

 

[ben_p]

4k .. isnt theire an itb'd clio on here for sale at that price? may have been a better option?

either way enjoy mate

where?

 

[Ali]

Are you the only Mappers for OMEX now??

 

[broster@JAM-Sport]

Are you the only Mappers for OMEX??

loads of places map omex, we do, torque of the devil etc

who are you? (Sorry sounds cheeky lol)

 

[Dash]

Someone from http://www.jam-sport.co.uk by the looks of it.

 

[broster@JAM-Sport]

sorry jam-sport yes

 

[Andy GDI]

Are you the only Mappers for OMEX now??

Why on earth would we do that... of course not

Huge list or approved dealers..

Omex do of course do their own mapping on development projects etc...

 

[Andy GDI]

Mark at Jamsport has done quite alot of Omex mapping I believe.

Sorry! My bad! I didn't Realise OMEX had a network of mappers! DO OMEX charge a premium if you get them to do it?

 

[Andy GDI]

not at all, the closer you get to London the more expensive it gets.... usually

Mapping prices can vary from £250-£1000 depending on the type and amount of time the job takes and its level of complexity, 7D mapping on some cars with variable cam timing and valve lift etc will obviously take longer.

 

[mini-valver]

Most people who "map" cars will be able to work with an OMEX. Approved dealers and the like can still be rubbish, just like car dealerships.

I'd still only use places like RStuning, Torque of the devil, chipwizards etc that are well know and proven with aftermarket software.

 

[Andy GDI]

Totally correct Dave, there are no APPROVED dealers, we have dealers that sell the ECU's etc, they have the option to come to Omex training but its not required to be a dealer.

some of them "Map"

 

[Ali]

Yeh! Suppose! I got 0BHP gains from my remap...But a much smoother curve! Still pee'd off tho! lol

 

[mini-valver]

Peak gains Alistair, look at the mid range in comparison. You may have gained 5bhp at 3k RPM, which is important. 3bhp at 8k RPM......Not so much.

 

[kevin_172]

its going to jam-speed to be mapped tomorrow

 

[fmp_]

Mech Repairs in Cheltenham (i think it was) mapped my old Saxo when it was on bodies and Omex, did a good job too!

Andy obviosuly mapped my old Time Attack Clio.... and that was spot on! The boy has skills!!

 

[sideways danny]

its going to jam-speed to be mapped tomorrow

if you had the full kit it doesn't need mapping :S

edit, cams too, forgot that bit doh, carry on

 

[2 live]

????


is the kit supplied with a generic map then??


as u know mate, all engines vary slightly, so would need slight differences in map

 

[mini-valver]

That applies to ALL generic maps though, not just a ITB kit.

 

[sideways danny]

there's NO extra charge for the map that's supplied. There's several maps for the slight different engines (ph1/ph2 etc) developed over nearly 2 years. Anyone is free to request custom mapping, for an additional charge, but the gains would be very minimal, if anything.

 

[2 live]

That applies to ALL generic maps though, not just a ITB kit.

i know that.

hence the std maps catering for the whole range will show gains wen played with. some more than others. and im not just on about raising the limiter either lol.

 

[mini-valver]

Who needs a rev limter? 10k RPM and ankle control.

 

[kevin_172]

MMMMMMM bodies

hi hi ECU

MMMMMMM more bodies

on the rollers

all in and running sweet as a nut! many thanks to andy from GDI and sean/paul from K-Tec racing for the help and sticking with the car! i know we had a few niggles but we got there just running shy of 180bhp ATW

 

[JW]

Looking good mate, nice figure. Just need some cams now! Im well jealous

 

[kevin_172]

it has cat cam 428's in atm

 

[Andy GDI]

strong car this one, pulls hard and sounds great...

 

[kevin_172]

thanks to the mashing of the jammed VVT valve eh andy

 

[iimushroomzii]

Looks tidy.

 

[Ali]

Are those pipes the smaller option?

 

[fmp_]

nice to meet you on the weekend, glad the car is working sweet, it sounded excellent!

 

[TooneySonic]

impressive! me want

 

[172Ben]

180bhp at the wheel, from bodies and cams?

Looks nice, but not for me for that price.

 

[Sean.]

how come? ^^^ expected more?

 

[broster@JAM-Sport]

the way the the car drives is totally transformed when fitting ITB's, and the noise is awesome! cant beat the sound IMO

 

[Craig]

mmmmm itbs

 

[Icarus]

180bhp at the wheel, from bodies and cams?

Looks nice, but not for me for that price.

207 - 212bhp depending on drivetrain losses. Pretty good IMHO.

Cheers
M

 

[kevin_172]

the reason i went for ITB's is because IMO its one hell of alot more usable on track without having to look at a LSD. also u cant beat the sound! there is alot more headroom for improvement with more wild cams and also going high comp (which i will be doing in about a years time)

 

[kyle_sxi]

i might buy a clio just to buy itbs and the sound is immense good work guys
