basically thinking of chopping the fiesta in for saph 2wd and the bloke had a look at my ecu and said that it shouldnt be running like it is. he reckons there should be something in the slot. is he right?????

 

Thats were the chip goes

 

thats what i thought, i ah been told it had been chipped but never looked to check, however matey boy who seems to know alot aid even though there is no chip in there it should still have a standard ford chip or plug in there

 

As standard it has a plate that covers it this is just to protect the chipboard. It probably has been chipped in the past and has been removed. When he says not running as it should what is it doing?

 

i think i didnt put that clearly enough, it does run very well, he said it shouldnt run at all, also i said that its hitting 12 psi( which i need to turn down) and he said thats not poss as standard chip only allows around 10 but its hitting about 12 then overboosting and cutting out

 

Do you know whether its OFAB or OFAC management? (says this on the ECU)

 

i havnt even looked mate, heres pic of engine bay so you can see, im not sure which is which

 

IT'S OFAB 110%

 

is that the better of the 2?

 

Your right Jamie its def OFAB. Oh no looks like we are going to get in the old OFAB vs OFAC war!!

 

im jus wondering whats the better in ppls opinion?

 

Ofab is the first type on the older fiesta rs turbo's then came ofac on new one's but ofab is better to up the boost and run more power so yes i think it's the best mine and bluebones went from ofac to ofab

 

thats cool with me

 

No we will win

 

Put your OFAB t shirts away!! i know its a better management!

 

 

Mine is probably still quicker than yours even with my 'inferior' management!

 

well whats the next best step tuning wise, thinking og going 195 chip and some beiges followed by trip to powers

 

What spec is it at the moment?

 

in the next two weeks mine will have 195 chip, injector's which i have, t34 which is the size of a baby's head which i have , cossy fuel pump,

 

T34! someones getting serious! are you getting George to do that for you? he will have fun putting that in

 

195 you should have better fuel pump

 

LoL when he saw th size of the turbo he said is that going to fit lol It should be like t3 convert

 

I am surprised he has not gone down that route yet he has done everything else. Its a tight squeeze with the T3 i dread to think what yours will be like!

 

Put an uprated cam in if you have not already

 

He's waiting to see what mine's like if it's any good then he will be there

 

thanks for help and advise, much appreciated

 

i got a saff turbo collins -31 beiges t2 cam waitin to go on
just need a chip and uprated fuel pump
iv got a pace intercooler and rad already
wat sorta power will i get out of this? ball park figure

 

if you get it set up properly should be knocking on atound 190??? what injectors you running?depends on cond of turbo

 

If you decide to chip it i have some biege injectors what would be open to offers or if i was you i would buy a mega squirt system and run GREENS but with all the other usual mods

 

how difficult is megasquirt to fit, map etc???

 

You need to get a lap top off ebay ....... and they send you the links for the software to download when you buy it.
Kit can run everything boost control, anti-lag, 5th injector....an on and on.... it also has built in 3 bar map sensor

Loads of kit for the money its what i'm getting next winter when the fiesta's off the road.

 

sounds like a plan to me, although not for the time being as i want to bring the hardware up to scratch before i worry about software

 

Comes with a 2.5 bar map sensor, 3 bar map can be fitted though.

Hopefully going to be supplying these soon and mapping them.
