Evening Lads,

 

I have been comtemplating today about getting more power to the floor from my zed. The engineer that built it has told me I could easily without compromising reliability. Add another 150 bhp to the rear wheels,(taking it to 550bhp approx) with my current mechanics. With the addition of an upgraded chip or stand alone management system, better clutch and a good tune.

 

What would you guys on the forum suggest? Ie Stand alone management or chip?...And what type of clutch would be best which doesnt compromise drivability.

 

What would the costs be?

 

Your thoughts would be appreciated on this mater.

Depends on how far you want to go? Standalone you can fine tune and adjust with every mod you add in time to come.

 

I dont think you will need a better clutch than the twin plate carbon you have on your spec list. If you wanna sell it let me know :)

You MUST already have an upgraded chip with that spec fella and it all depends on what spec/size your turbo's are?? that will determine the extra sort of power levels of 150bhp.

Oh and if yer running a true carbon carbon twin plate from RPS, you'll never gain enough power to wear it out, it is literaly desigend for the mega mega high powered zeds and is gauranteed to take what ever you can throw at it.

Standalone is very good and does give you a load of options over the standard ecu, I'm currently running an AEM without issue though some( me included) have problems with CAS units that the AEM doesn't like. Swapped for another and it's been fine since.

 

I'm actually considering a different stand alone at the moment, only because my mapper raves about it, though not currently available for the 300 so let me know if you fancy a used AEM :) will include my current CAS and wideband setup too.

Thanks lads, speaking to David at Evenden engineering the clutch is right for the job. (So wont be selling it Gibster lol)

 

Jaffa, how much would you want for your AEM set-up?

about £1200 inc cas, wideband and the other sensors you need

Jaffa,

 

How straight forward is the AEM to set-up? Labour wise and to map etc.

 

Cheers

Also Jaffa, is your AEM the series 2 version?

 

Cheers

it's a series 1, don't know anyone running the series 2 yet.

 

for the setup, there are loads of base maps around to get you going and it's not to hard to do, though you'll still need it mapped for your setup before pushing it. I got my mapper to do setup and map in one go and it cost around 300 quid plus another 120 for dyno hire

AEM is good but you will need it mapped properly, faliure to do it correctly could destroy the car!!!

Jaffa if you would take £1000 for it we would have a deal. What do you say

Thanks Madmax for the advice.

maybe, get yourself subscribed and we can discuss over PM, it's only £20. where in london are you based anyway, we should meet up?

I will do mate,

 

I live in Essex now, Brentwood if you know it? Where abouts are you mate?

 

Cheers.

yes, I know where you are, unfortunately, I'm diagonally opposite you in Kingston :)

Sure we can come to an arrangement and I can help you get it going, will need to wait till I'm back from holiday though at the end of the month.

Okay mate, no worries.

 

Give me a shout when your back and I will also PM you my contact details.

 

Cheers

Jaffa,

When are you off on holiday?

Would it be possible for me to come down and buy the gear from you asap? As my engineer wont be able to work on my motor at the end of the month and set it up on the dyno.

I will bring cash.

Thanks

sorry, I'm still using the AEM to run the car! Have set things moving with my tuner but won't be able to take it off before I go

No worries fella, I have now decided to sell her.

 

Cheers
