Some help and advice needed (itbs)

[mi16chris]

So I'm very close to ordering some ktec dth itbs and gen90 ecu for my 182 , what hp could I expect on stock cams ?

What cams would u advise for this set up , the car is mainly used for fast road drive and the odd track day

Thanks for your help

From ktec's website:

Gains in power of +30BHp and increased torque of +15 lb/ft can be expected

Thats about right for a stock engine.

Cams are a personal choice but i'd be looking at Schricks or 421's for a decent (ie noticeable) gain

421s all day long.
To be honest though, it will be a very good improvement with stock cams

As Danny says ITB's do improve a stock car a huge amount

That's what I want to hear I know the peek power is nothing and it should be much more drivable on the itbs , I take it the engine will still be knock limited on 97 Ron fuel ? Il be doing the mapping my self I've mapped manny turbo cars and only a few na tho not on itbs ,so looking forward to it

Mapped mine on 95 ron. Shouldn't be knock limited at the top on decent fuel, but will be more so low down. Last one I did made better power at 26deg than 28deg. Are you road mapping or dyno?

That's what I wanted to know thank u , it will be road mapped then il tweek the timing on the dyno after , from the info I've seen on the net and going by what u have said around 26deg is the magic number lol and if I can get away with 95 Ron it would be even better too

reverse of what I'd do to be honest. Road is the last bit to just have a check and tweak IMO. You can do all the dyno stuff in a couple of hours if you get good, and you're used to the software. (I'm not that fast!)

Il see how it gos , looking foreword to seeing the gen90 software hope its handy to use lol

 

[Dan519]

it's advanced software. If you've used map3000 (omex) before then you'll be familiar with a lot of how it works, but there's a hell of a lot more there if you look.

Typical ignition mapping screen....

I'm about to use omex for the first time next week on a kit car with a c20let also with itbs , I'm used to link haltech and apexi
Thanks for the screen shot to man

Doesn't look far off my ec1 that (im still learning)

 

[Dan519]

hmm, very different to the ECtune software I've got. maybe I have an old version.

 

[Russ_16v]

Tbh Dan mapping is new to me, I know a little bit but willing to learn - I'll grab some pics next time I have the software on as I'm not sure how many different types of software there are for the ec1
