29th<\/sup> July 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have had the final session on the VARA Technik rolling road in Ashford. A switch was fitted to the Emerald k6+ ecu, the switch allows me to flip between high and low boost maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low boost is 317 bhp at 18 psi and high boost is 385bhp at 25 psi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had lots of issues trying to tune the car, in 4th gear my car will do well over the 250kph (155mph) the rolling road max\u2019d out at. So it was difficult to hear when the engine was revving out. In 3rd<\/sup> gear the car just wheel span when it hit max power, it was very difficult to get enough traction to put the power down on the rollers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mapping was done by John Lamsley, who is an absolute wizard with Emerald ECUs! He runs a Facebook group called Emerald ECU Tuning Tips And Advice https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1420891321593663\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spitfire now spits fire, which is always a bonus \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that the Pulsar G25 550 is a bit of a blocker, a genuine Garrett would definitely produce a lot more power, but, I really do not think the car could handle more power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Meth injection works perfectly we started at a IAT of over 50 degrees C, when Meth injection was turned on the IAT crashed to below 20 degrees C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the car was mapped, I asked for a printout, unfortunately the high power pulls had been over written, so John did a quickie pull which showed a peak power of 340 bhp at flywheel, and 311 bhp at the wheels. Remember the car wheel spins like crazy in 3rd<\/sup>, so not putting down all the power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the road the car is ballistically fast, the speedo moves across the dial faster than the rev counter. The acceleration pins you back, and even lifts your feet from the accelerator pedal. I still haven\u2019t tried the launch control… but I will do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
