Hey all

 

Had my first opportunity to stretch the legs on the beast and its absolutely awesome. Its been a long time since I have had a grin quite so big behind the wheel of a car. The mapping has dome wonders. Its is smooth as silk both in the power and on the road although the suspension could be a little softer. I'm hoping it will compensate for it on the track. Booked half a day at Bedford on Saturday the 29th if anyone else is interested. Its a novice day but thats just fine, I just wanted the opportunity to be able to throw it around and open it up a bit to see how it handles and goes.

 

:dance:

How much did a session at bedford cost if you dont mind me asking?

What psi is it mapped for just now then? How easy was it to get the AEM setup? Did you have a base map for the AEM then go from there? Im flapping about getting mine done as I remember jaffaz32 having serious problems with his

Hey guys

 

Bedford was 70 squids for the afternoon will be dark by four so I'm guessing thats about 17 pounds an hour.

 

Its mapped to 1.5psi. It took about 5 - 6 hours of mapping time to map the AEM (done by SPC in Horsham) Its not made as much power as I expected 410 but to be honest I'm more interested in how it drives than hitting big numbers. I've got the Z1 600 tubs and 555's and was expecting it to be in the high 400's but the guys at the garage reckon that over 1.4psi the gains the tubs were making were not worth the higher boost. The tubs are also quite laggy and If I had experienced them before I probably would have bought something else but hey ho you live and learn.

 

It pulls like a train though with @400ftlb of torque. I'm going to drive it for a bit to get used to it and then maybe take it to someone else to see if they can do any better. When it was originally done it was quite jerky on and off the gas although now it is smooth as silk. The chap who mapped it said that he was trying to get it to drive like a normal car unless you booted it and it is very much like that.

 

I have had my ups and downs with SPC but they have done a cracking job so I cant say anything against them. I think they have probably been very conservative on their mapping but thats ok by me. I want a fast car for road and track that will last (finger crossed!) so happy to tune it down if it lasts longer.

 

Not sure what kind of gixxer you have mate but I had a 750 K3 and I smiled today in the car the same way I used to whne you would get into the second half of the revs on the gixxer and it would just take off and try to rip your head off. The car is nothing like as quick but is a lot of fun.

1.5psi..... wow thats serious power for such low boost lol:tongue:

Hey mate

 

Your numbers are awesome I was looking at them earlier. Who mapped your car?

 

Its running 400 at 0.9 bar but they mapped it up to 1.5.

Ryan at 2bartuning.com. great bloke, lives in oxford and use's surrey rollers but he also comes out to your home. he's poping over to mine on monday to re do the ignition map for the new AEM CAS disk:dance:

 

he said with racier cams she should hit the 600 mk but, wer'nt worth going over 1.2bar as the power drops off

Bloody hell.

 

The numbers above are Fly numbers not rwhp by the way so I'm mile off yours.

 

I spoke to Ryan already I'll get him to work his magic in the new year.

 

Cheers mate

You'll have fun at Bedford Aerodrome, I did a trackday on the gran turismo circuit and it was brilliant!

 

All the best,

 

Rob.

Thanks mate looking forward to it
