I'm just taking the mick cos i was the only one with a superchip. Yes i am running a de-cat, and the superchip is just a eprom chip. however it is giving me extra power and is not overfuelling as proved on rolling road. just seems a bit odd to me that all the standard cars ran around 220bhp but the ones with gtec ran less!?

This is probably due to a better ebv in your car. Honestly.

Ross

Cheeky Monkey ;), its like the kettle calling the pot black

Mark, my 1.3 bar (midrange) runs used to give me around 330bhp, so if the boost recorded was off that would explain that, still strange that so many peeps found the same?, The Blitz records a peak value which can sometime be a bit off to the steady midrange value, I wonder where they measured the boost reading from?

Is the boost guage reading similar to the Blitz Mark?

Otherwise nice graphs, my last runs in the car were recorded with a hot car at 38degC, so ner!
Otherwise as Leighton says ,looks nice and healthy

Joe

I was the 1st on the RR & ran 231bhp with a Gtec1 & K&N at 1 bar

i was last ish on, first run made 212 running 1.1bar with gtec1 k&n filter and fmic, prv set to 1.1 kinda gutted with that performance. mate has a leon cupra r we did rolling start and the coop was much faster.

mixed feelings with the rest of the guys there about the rr, would be good to try somewhere else and compair cars,set-ups and rr's

what did your fuelling and boost graph look like?

max boost was 1.1bar @ 4300rpm. fueling at 13.2?

i understand the boost and vaguelly the afr

RS tuning is moving to armley road in Leeds in 3-4 weeks and they will do it for £35 a car if there is 10 or more cars. thats all the same stuff we got at racing line. so we should book it and confirm all these different readings!

looks like Joe and Leighton have just jinxed me with saying the car is running healthy! i haven't had the car today with my mechanic mate having the car to take it for an MOT, but he was taking it there and the car lost power and oil was coming out from the oil cap!

i'm not going to know the full extent until later this week when the head comes off! my mechanic thinks its the head gasket, but couldn't guarantee it until friday! but also said it could be lots of things such as pistons etc!

Maybe time to go forged?

Trying to remain upbeat, but it could be a lot worse, my mate feels really bad as he had the car when it happened, and is going to do the labour for free he knows his stuff aswell as he races stock cars with rover V8s planted in them! So ross we may have to delay the RR day!

art tuning in wakefield have just got a new rr aswell, guy does alot of jap stuff,seems to know his stuff, he's 5mins from work,im going to go speak to him see what he thinks

Oh dear. Glad to see you're thinking positive about it though mate.

that sucks, hope you get it sorted mate

Out of the filler cap?? Need to do a compression test and see what's happening.

i should know more later in the week anyway once my mate gets down to work on it! but he can only look at it from thursday! the one week when something goes wrong he has to be away on a course i haven't had a proper chance to talk to him yet as he's working but will post up when i get more info

there isn't much point getting down about it, it isn't going to get me anywhere, the racelogic traction control will just have to wait.

i guess it was my time to suffer the downsides of having a tuned coupe!

Mark

i'll post this on technical problems so i don't change the topic

i wish i could be as cool as you eldinho,when i took the wroung chip out of the ecu in my car(dont ask how)i had to wait 4 weeks to get a new ecu and my wife still saz to this day that thats the hardust 4 weeks she has ever had in her life,

it will probably get me down in the next few days, i think this time it might be the actual cost that gets me down rather than being without it. i only live 2 miles from work so can quite easily get there. it makes it so much better when you get it back.

hope its not to bad mate,

Just as an interesting point for everyone...

The gtech is comprised of all the best bits of the squadra, novitech, millenium, superchip, *something*star chips. So its unlikely that the superchip would be a better chip all round than the gtech.

Ross

TBH Ross I haven't got a problem with the Gtech1 chip. The only reason I put the standard chip back in was due to the overboosting problem - once the Greddy's been fitted and my boost levels are solidly adjustable then the Gtech is likely to go back in.

Here are my graphs, what do you make of them?


Graph 1 - BHP and Torque at the flywheel
Graph 2 - Boost and fuelling, plus BHP at the wheels in the top right

MattW: I still use the standard TB28 and got 274 hp / 281 lb/ft. You can see my mods in this thread: The Swedes second RR
Something is clearly wrong with your engine. You should, after installing a hybrid turbo, see at least 280-290 hp or close to that.
I hope you find the problem as soon as possible

^ Thats good results on a standard Turbo, I moved my problems out of this thread onto this one.

That's a VERY good result for the standard turbo. I could only get 240 bhp out of mine with a boost controller, FMIC (probably too big for the turbo TBA, and exhaust + pannel filter).

Wouldnt the FMIC just strangle the spool up?

Ross

Well - the top end also felt pants. It could have been the turbo on it's way out though.... no other reason for it as the engine was fine + when a hybrid went on it jumped to 280 bhp.

I was just wondering if the FMIC done anything else.... that was all!

As i have said i made crap power on the gt28r... it was all down to boost.

Ross

one more thing to say about the results for that day!

my mate in his CTR spoke to the owner of TDI North (Honda Specialists) and he has never seen a CTR with a torque figure as low as what my mate got and thought that the dyno must be wrong. anyway he's going on their rollers in a couple of weeks so will be a good comparison!

Mark

CTR's have low torque figures stnd tho? 147lb/ft against 197 bhp?

I believe with the multitude of results there *could* be a problem with the rollers, but everyone who got a low result, i can see an explanation for.

Ross

yeah they do have a low torque figure, but he got about 15/20 lb/ft lower than standard! and his isn't standard!

i dont think all people who got low figures have an explanation, what was the reason for yellow20vtbmx low figure? he got 212bhp i beleive with gtec and FMIC.

i still don't think my result was correct, and the way the boost figures were incorrect doesn't fill me with confidence.
