is there a valve thing you can put a pressure gauge onto, or do you have to use a T-peice off of the feed line.

 

T Piece

 

c**t

 

Thanks.

 

not you... lol

stu dont supose you know what the idle CO% of an off the shelf stg3 chip sold by PJ motorsport (ie ahmed) is... cant get thru to PJ on the phone (engaged)

 

Nope, but i doubt it would be above 3.5% as thats illegal so aim at 3

 

just this second got thru to them...

they say std fuelpressure and 3.5% CO (Co screw is ignored when on boost tho aint it?)

also just to check a few settings off the top of my head... base idle (iscv unplugged) is 800-850 and fuel pressure with vac pipe disconnected is 3.5? yeah?

 

No it certainly is not.... beware......

Other stuffs ok except set idle at 950 for best results.

 

Stu,

Can you possibly explain what you mean by 'Best Results' with regard to setting idle at 950???

 

good, thought so just PJ said otherwise

thank you for your help

 

Who's car are you fiddling with Jim?

 

ginges

 

I thought that was booked into SCC for tommorow to be sorted out

 

long story

and i'm no cossie tuner and wouldnt even dream of trying to set a car up. i dont have the equipment for starters...

 

Gus, you have tooooooo many avatars mate!!!

 

its not setting the car up, its checking somink out thats all

 

if possible we'll get the local garage to check FP, Idle CO, Idle Speed etc. etc. but depends how busy they are

 

Do you think its wise to fiddle with it as neither of you have any practical experience with proper cossies

 

you dont know what we're looking at

anyway spadge, weren't you the man who wanted to wind his boost up in the carpark of the beds meet

jim knows better than to adjust/play with things, dont wanna get blamed if anything goes wrong afterall (different tinkering with you own car and not sum1 elses imho)

 

Just pointing out that neither of you have any hands on experience of YB's and neither of you has had any great succes when it comes to tinkering in general let alone with cossies

 

ps if i did want to set it up this is how i would do it (not that i do... just want to put your minds at rest)

check/adjust fuel pressure (if necessary)

check/adjust idle speed

check/adjust CO

re-check idle speed

re-check Fuel Pressure

re-check CO

repeat if necessary

wind actuator right out and unplug amal valve untill proper tuner can check it

 

dont worry spadge i know where you're coming from, but dont worry youve got nothing to worry about... we both know better

 

I'm not worried Jimbo its not my car!
In fact i would no doubt benefit if you blew the fookin thing up so please carry on

 

spadge get start taking ya engine out just incase

 

Thats the bit that might pop her open.. i knew there would be one and thats it

 

you know what i meant stu

 

Yeah, you meant run less boost than the mapper probably originally mapped it for and perhaps then run her on a possibly unchecked load site for prolonged periods of time...



Risky business... are you a gambling man?

 

i'm basing my assumptions on the fact that any non-idiot mapper would surely map the whole chip properly regardless of boost?

 

Assumption is the mother of all fook ups...

















I hope your not trying to be the father

 

ok then in your experience of off the shelf stage3 ahmed chips is it wise to run them at less than full boost?
