As you have the facilities/contacts/money STU why don't you arrange it, would be a good bit of advertising, surely no reason not to ? tabetha
Dont forget the fitting and mapping charge. These stystems need a new loom to be fitted. And good mappers.
As for me arranging it, i am far too busy to get involved in such things, we just dont spend any time or money in this market anymore but if a mag wants to do it, im game to just turn up with one done and they can perform driveability tests. I always do things such as:
Cold start.
Cold drive.
School ruyn drive when cold.
High gear cruise. (All sub 550bhp YB powered cars should be able to engage 5th gear and cruise comfortable and economically below 1500rpm if mapped well).
Throttle response and transient fuel correction mapping. (Hesitations and sudden over or underfuelling to Joe Bloggs)
AFR at all operating ranges.
