I rang a place that was recomended to me to see about getting my 90 spec S2 set up on the rollers. The bloke told me the rollers were broken at the minute, and with my car being lowered I prob couldnt geton their rollers anyway.

He says he can still do the set up etc for me out on the road??

Is this right??? Ive heard about this being done to scooby's etc, but a series 2???? Is this actually possible???

 

hi mate yea must be possible as harvey gibbs done this to my s2 after jamsport didnt do it properly!!!!!

 

is possible mate ahmeed did my sereis 2 onb the road

 

karl norris live map THE BOLLOX

 

cheers everyone for the replies

Think ill give it a whirl, with all the problems Ive been having with cutting out n missfiring etc, I checked my plugs earlier and they stunk of petrol and were a bit carboned up (black) so I think it should do it the world of good

 

nms live map the works

 

Rolling road

 

if its mfi it cant be lived mapped

? ? ?

 

as above if it not been converted to efi and its still on the mfi injection system then it cannot be live mapped (on road) it can only be rolling roaded

 

as above

 

Thats what I thought, but surely the bloke who said he could tune it for me would realise this??? And if so what the hell is he on about? LOL

so everyone above who has been set up "out on the road", are you all on EFi then?????

 

i had my series 2 live mapped on the rollers by jamie at jamsport, i was

running

a dta ecu

also had it done when i was mfi on the rollers but its only realy a set up

and power run not classed as a map though

 

Maybe he is going to have an assistand lay under the bonnet with an alan key, a screwdriver, and a 11mm spanner to 'map' the car whilst he's driving with a wideband lamda up the exhaust and a hand held gauge in his lap shouting intructions out the window?!?!?!?

 

very good knowledge my boy !!

 

'Live mapping' LOL.

'Road mapping' LOL.

People who road map are those who haven't got a Dyno. If you have the choice, Dyno all the way. Adjustments can be made much closer and probably much safer, because changes can be measured, so it's possible on a Dyno to see if what you changed actually made any difference. You'd never know on the road whether the extra 3psi you're running had any real effect, so you might be running the extra boost for nothing, for example.

 

im going to take my series 2........to the subaru rollers down near the airport here..they done me m8 efi festa..i just hope they can do mine as there not rs specialists???fingers crossed

 

well ive booked it in this afternoon to go on the rollers at 1.30pm, just gonna change plugs, dizzy cap, rotor arm etc now for good measure, and hope they dont blow or fuck it up! lol

Wish me luck!

 

Bang on the money with that comment!! it also really good for timing changes, monitoring exactly when the torque is being delivered etc, its impossible to properly test this when on the road

 

So setting a car up on a rolling road (a situation it will never find it'self in) is better than setting it up on the road (a situation it will be perminatly in) ??
EFi obv

 

you have a point

 

my opinion s that its about getting then engine sucking, farting and fueling as it should regardless of the situiation, in this country it can be sunny one day and cold and damp the next so its hard to draw the line. The priority is to make sure the fueling and burn is correct, adjustments are more refines and precise on a rr, even better on a dyno but this is pure money. Its each to their own i think, noris m-sport and motor s-dev use mapping on the roads and they have one of the best reps in the game
