I'm thinking of the motorsport stuff... Enter at a given bhp/ton class, flick the switch, flick it back!
"No, sir, it's always been that quick - must be the torque!"
Yes indeed - initially however my query was 'dismissed' and batted out because it dared to question an 'expert', rather than answered. It has now been answered/resolved and I know the right words and have a better understanding!
Thanks to all those who have had helpful input into this...
But, as is regularly demonstrated on here, there are no rules about the levels of stupidity you are or aren't allowed to display! And TBH on a car forum it's a refreshing change for someone to be stupid with regards to a technical aspect than to be stupid about what modifications they should...
Actually, when someone came in and explained it I thanked them for their help. I can click the report button all night long if you want to continue abusing me for asking questions!
I'm asking a question, one's on the defensive because something he said didn't quite ring true (not through trying to mislead, probably through trying to make it simple enough to understand!), one's being abusive, and two are trying to work out how best to explain what I want to know!
Thanks...
Entirely possible and is what I was trying to ascertain. I've never tried to claim I'm an expert, merely try to work out where two 'experts' have given conflicting information (not on the same forum).
Thanks for your help in clearing it up!
You call me an idiot, then argue my case. Well done. Have a star. :star:
I think you've got the two sides of it mixed up - what you mean is a map is good or bad, then you're correct in the second half in that a map is right or wrong for a given situation. If as Icarus said you run two...
Right, so 'a map is right or it's not' isn't quite true then is it! As if you throw rules out the window and say 'powaaaaaaaaaaaah' like Clarkson then yes, one map suits all, but should you have to take other factors into the equation at different times then you cannot make such a generalisation!
So, rather than being an obtuse f**k, how about explaining where in a flash or map or whatever the ECU decides how much boost is allowed to be produced before it limits it? As I know 150% that they have three 'maps' - 400, 600 and 800bhp (roughly) which are switched.
Again though it's harsh to say something as sweeping as that, as Renault's map is 'right', however it's 'wrong' according to many tuners who don't have the same constraints!
Maybe I'm just being completely dense but if a map was right or not right then Renault sent cars out mapped incorrectly...
No - it's a valid question/point and an area I have little understanding, which conflicted with the information in the thread!
