Took my car to RLM Racing to be mapped, all in all the car was on the dyno for a couple of days and I am really happy with the results.
I asked Rich to map the car so that it would be drivable and to have a progressive power curve. Looking at the dyno plots he achieved this quite nicely.
The MBE 9A9 ecu was set up to have switchable maps for different levels of boost. Low boost at 0.6 Bar, medium at 1 Bar and high at 1.3 Bar. This equates to around 250 / 310 / 400 wheel Hp. I have the option to cap the boost in the lower gears and then to fit front wheel sensor for traction control. I will try capping the boost in 1st and 2nd gears for the time being.
The GT28/76 turbo was the limiting factor and would not achieve more than 1.4 Bar and then tailing off to 1.3 Bar. With a larger turbo the engine is capable of making more power but may cause turbo lag. For now 400 wheel hp will be plenty.
On higher boost the plenum blew off so I will need to makeup some straps to keep it I place, Rich wired it down temporarily.
The charge cooler performed well and managed to keep inlet temperatures at a reasonable level, looking forward to see how it performs on the road and track.
Next step is to upgrade the brakes and wait for the weather to get better.
