Standard 20vt Remap - 26/01/2009 15:37
I have just finished mapping Carphone's (Dan) standard LE and thought it was worth a little mention. Dan had it on the rollers at Powerstation last year and while it made near enough standard power they told him it was very lean when coming on boost although it richened up around 5000rpm to redline. Dan replaced the MAF sensor on their advice but unfortunately this made no difference.
The car is in good health, no errors, a compression test today showed a strong engine. There are no mechanical defects, everything works as it should.
Run 1 - Standard Chip
The car makes 1bar of boost around 2800rpm in 3rd gear. The fueling at this point is 13.2 afr rising to 13.5 at 3400rpm, you wouldn't run a normally aspirated car this lean let alone a boosted one! It is only until 5000rpm that the fueling reaches 11.9afr, which is around where a standard car should be. Thereafter it bottoms out at around 11.3 slowly richening up to 11afr at redline. It's quite surprising to see a standard car have such poor fueling, and while unusual, it's something to consider as it's not just modified cars that go pop!
Final Run - Remap @ 1.2bar
The fueling is now back on track, coupled with a few other little tweaks. It's like a different car, I know I am used to big power but for a standard car with just a remap it felt pretty darn quick! A good result I dare say
