Hey. Decided to get my boost controller set up on the rollers today. Got the graph but its a bit pants.
Basically i got 278bhp at the wheels. which is about 320 at the fly.
It was running rich around 10-11. Was 1.4 midrange then, 1.1 towards redline. Enough fuel all the time.
Inlet temps were a bit high at 50c but the guy did mention it was hot in the place.
Full boost at 3000rpm. No flat points i dont think.
Advice needed :
Should i get Graham L to take some of the fuel out of the chip across the range to make it run less rich?
Should i consider replacing the intercooler with one in better condition?
Any other options?
Ross

what mods u got again? 320 at the fly sounds good ... much more than that an you're into forged internals etc.. Suba got 340 with a Unichip, so I wouldn't be complaining with 320 and a plug n play chip.

I think my best option now, would be to ask Graham to make a Gtech 1 chip with ignition advance.
That way it will have reduced fueling and still have the ignition advance.
Think that will work?

the problem is that he'll have to guess at the parameters ... u can't beat a custom map. I think Perfect Touch can do on the fly mapping, which might be a little bit cheaper than a Unichip. I'm in the same boat as u.

I dont think its worth it. Thats my opinion. I reckon that if i check my fueling enough, with minor adjustments to the Gtech chips i reckon i could crack it suffieciently. The fact is that several people on the forum found little difference with the unichip from the Gtech chip. So it cant be that far out.

The trouble is that you don't need ignition advance or fuelling cut right across the rev range - you need it in specific areas only
There's only two ways to do this - Unichip or custom map
There's a correct statement above - with fairly well-modded cars, a Unichip often makes very little difference to peak power. However, it does ensure correct running acorss the entire rev range AND it quite often makes quite a bit of difference to off-boost performance and responsiveness.
There's a Unichip for sale in the Parts For Sale section, and there's also a chance that my Unichp might be available if I decide to go for a custom map later this month
good point, look at suba's unichip setup. one at low boost with loads of ignition advance low down to improve "driveability" and the second map at high boost (less ignition advance) and loads of top end power.

Well, i think with the proper misture i could have NEAR unichip performance without the price tag!

Ross remember what I've said about flowrates. 320bhp is good for your set up, and as long as you don't mess with boost you'll have a relaible motor that will beat most things anyway!!

Dunno how many....? I'm scheduled to go back on the rollers in one weeks time. So i have 4 choices.....
1. do nuthing and run it again. 2. run higher boost on this setup (1.5 midrange and 1.2 redline. 3. get a gtech 1 chip. 4. Ask graham to make a mixture between the Gtech1 fueling and the Gtech 2 ignition advance.
I defintely was running too much fuel, but the guy said it was a good thing to prevent detonation..... but i think it was in the 10's. I was sure the high 11's low 12's was a better option.

A Gtec2 with Gtec1 base fuelling map wouldn't work, would be even richer than the standard Gtec2.
Might be possible to back off the base fuelling map of a Gtec2 though, I'll look into it...

Cool. Maybe im just being fussy!!
You can thank Barbz for his advice and the engine he sent me for all the power i have!!! He is the man and i would highly recommend him to anyone wanting more power.
I still wanna try it with less fueling next week. Need to check with Graham L if its possible.

Good job there! Impressive torque curve ![](/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif) , another one or Barbz masterpieces ![](/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif) You could try a bit less fuelling, but it might be counter productive,.. just have to wait and see! good luck! joe

Thanks dude. At the end of the day im missing 2 mods.
Cams and chargecooling.
Both of which before christmas are outwith my budget.
So i can try the gtech1 and check the graph. If worse i can just replace the gtech 2 back in it.

OK I have extrapolated the torque and bhp curves from your graph and converted to a flywheel standard (17% loss) so that everyone has a better understanding of what it all means especially in comparison to other coupés ![](/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif)
h2ypr's graph...
Well that is some seriously impressive low down torque there Ross! Short of the hybrid turbos or nitrous, nothing comes even close to that spool up and torque delivery. The 28R coupled with headwork certainly appears to be doing the trick
Surely that's like the ideal mix of low-end torque and a nice sustainable power rise to near the redline ? Ross - leave it the fccuk alone and actually drive it before something on it blows up again !! ![](/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif)
