road mapping

Never had a car mapped before and if all goes ok will be getting the car mapped in March, what happens on a mapping session ??

The mapper will set up his equipment on your car and basically you drive an they will tell you what gear to be in and when to put your foot down

Then go home smashing it in with a big grin and put 50s
In your tank for fun lol

Or in some cases the police may take an interest in you when sat in a lay bye with what looks like a tube going from your exhaust in through your windows, just ask Jonny Gav

Hey Steve you getting the parts together then yeh, you still going with the vf35 and pinks? ;0)

Happend to me in lay by with Duncan luckily he must of had a call and went lol,,

Or if you are like me you get told to accelerate and watch the mapper crap himself at the sound of your front splitter ripping itself from your front bumper at 90mph

Yes have had VF35 and Sti pinks fitted along with 3 port boost solanoid and ported headers, getting it mapped by Duncan on Friday

Mine only made 330 300 mines a Sti but to me I don't think the figures match my car .. Mine has a vf35

Hope you get what you want mate, just dont chase to many numbers and enjoy the car

If its any help mate I had my car 4 yrs before I got it mapped, but Ive now had several sessions with Andy Carr and I'm glad that I plucked up the courage to do so.

Things normally start with a bit of chat about whats changed on the car since the last session and what I'm expecting, while Andy hooks up all of his gear. He'll set a few things up on the laptop, get his headcans on, then we'll go for a genteel run out while he checks everythings ok. Only after he's satisfied that all is in order and the car is up to temperature will we start the session for real.

He'll ask me to settle the car at 2,500 revs in 2nd gear then put the hammer down, flat to the floorboards and change up at about 6,000 revs into 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. Not that Ive ever got to 5th of course as we are normally running out of test track Depending on how happy he is, we'll repeat that 4 or 5 times then calm things down and meander back to base. By the time he's unhooked all of his gear, Ive usually managed to let go of the steering wheel.

I'll admit that I was well twitchy on my first ever run out but Andy very much put me at ease.

Cheers kgt, can’t wait.
This time round not going for the turbo and injectors yet, just ported headers of Finn, up/down pipe decats , 3” exhaust ,3 port, walbro fuel pump pf7 plugs , would be nice to get one of Johnny’s turbo’s (future mod) maybe see how this goes first, hopefully should see 270bhp

Going from standard to that spec should put a big grin on your face. Good luck, hope it all goes well.

mapping takes between 2/3 Hours normally from scratch

Mate got my car map of Andrew car was well worth it would def go back nice guy mate
