times like this i wish i had an eprom programmer/copier
you can change the map over if you have a laptop and know how to use the software...
but they would be set for best power really... an economy mode would only be good if you were not to drive hard.... difficult to change that many parameters... the two stage map is good if your testing a high boost turbo etc.
ok guys, upto 4 def so far, and ready to put deposits down, so one palce left at least, we wont go ahead until after teh bank holiday, that gives everyone enough time to see what they want to do, if we get more then 5 we may be looking at more discount. So far its me, MartinS, Paul.C 16v and TheDoc. I reckonRockport is almost there also, and Adams16v is also very interested, get your money out boys! this is a very good product, at an even better price!
Boys, im tryin to work out if its really worth me havin this done yet.
The only mods ive got is a de-cat and the cams have been reprofiled...
I take it that this chip will get rid of the "tappety" sound I got, cot its starting to do my head in. Will an off the shelf chip be able to sort this out??? Or is it just the timing that needs to be sorted out?
I know u need more peeps, but be honest with me, cos I dunno if ill be able to find the deposit in time.
Ian
got 4 already and 2 almosts, we are nearly there, spoke to andy today, even with the 4 defos we may be able to get teh same price, the more the merrier though! as for the tappety noise, i doubt a chip will sort this, sounds like you have worn tappets, as for it being worth it with the mods you have, i say if you have re-profiled cams it will def be woth while! your car may be underfuelling and certainly wont be anywhere near optimum output!
Your lifters are fine Ian, its just a typical sound (when I heard it at least) of a camd engine
BigChris has just had the same and its pretty much the same and he had new lifters....
yours were not worn.... honest...
perhaps some sound deadening on the inside of the bonnet.... (dynamat type stuff)
most people with the loud zorsts and filters etc etc cant hear the cams anyhow
if however the tappets have got worse since we saw you last, do give me a call mate and I will see how we can help sort it out...
Andy
To those that were interested.
I dropped my 172 off today at my mates workshop to have my SMT6 installed.
First thing I asked him was it possible to add a switch so I could change maps while driving...he said hed do that.
Hes also going to put in the data cable so I can tune the car on the open road.
Hes just a little worried about the wiring diagram because PP dont have one for the 172, and Andy used his own map...Just hope my mate gets sorted.
no PP dont have a diagram for the 172, we had to work it out.... £lots of phone calls to south africa...... and some extensive fiddling to get it right..
the result however I and the customer was pleased with...
yes you can switch maps, however I question the reasons for needing to do this as once the car is set up for correct fueling why change to anything else!!??? unless its got a turbo and you are running lower boost etc
Andy
p.s. its hard to tune on the road unless you have mate in the car... also hard to hold load at set rpm to get the engine fully loaded up to simulate full throttle... max fuel needs...
let us know how you get on... its a great bit of kit and very flexible.
Well the main reason Ill be switching maps is because in every day driving weve only got access to 93RON fuel, but when I get onto the track I have access to 102RON so it would be nice to have a track map and a everyday map (mainly to prevent detonation when Im running our crappy everyday fuel). I think its worth the effort of a switch since Im at the track every month, and when Im not onthe track Im at Gymkhana and autocross events
Got a phonecall this afternoon saying that the car would only be ready tomorrow due to some other issues my mate needed to take care of.
will give updates once I have them
nice
