As per title can someone tell me the standard boost on an ERST, I'm think 7.5psi but not 100% sure, If i'm right will the standard ECU fuel 9psi
Also can anyone recommend a good rolling road to have my ERST engined XR2 setup. I live in Cardiff and i've been to Interpro twice in the past and did'nt like there service so i don't want to use them again.
I don't mind traveling up to about 200 miles one way.
Cheers

Standard boost varies from car to car. The idea was to just get the 1.6 CVH to around 130bhp. Some cars needed 5 psi and others 7 or 9psi. Stick with around 7 you should be ok.
As for rolling roads... can't help ya there.

as tony says the each car had a different amount of boost
You should be running arround 7Psi as standard though.. the ECU has got nothing to do with fueling, hence it technically wont 'fuel' for 9psi (althought it will be fine) To increase fuel flow you will need a modification tot he meetering head.. this can be done by either SCC or karl Norris.
To be honest just whaching the boost up to 9psi isnt going to do any harm (as long as the boost limit on the ecu isnt reached, but if you want a propper set up then Someone like turbo systems are your best bet

Cheers guys,
Rolls, yer just trying to set up properly mate. I've doen 1100 miles in the last 2 weeks. It runs fine just the tick over is a bit up and down depending on the engine and ACT temp's, a mate had a look at the CO on his MOT tester which was showing 1.85% which is a little over but apparently he was advised to run about 2.50% on his.
