Does anyone know if such a map can be obtained from the likes of Oddkid or anyone else ?
Somebody I know who knows someone is set on using a L6 weber on a cvh turbo in a mk2 fez and apparently not looking at alternatives.
Any suggestions welcome

jano will have a map for this, but it would only be a 'base map'. Which once the car is running it will need a full map anyway, but until its been mapped run it at very low boost.

 

That sounds promising thankyou I thought he may have .

 

To be fair it's not that exotic. So most tuners will have done sort of base map

But that's all it will be really

Use this to get up and running then live map

 

A "Base" map from 1 tuner will be totally different from the next. I have seen so many cosworth conversions that have had a so called "base". When looking at the map its a random cosworth map or not even the correct spec for the engine. EVEN when they have been told it is by well known tuners.

The best method for a base. Is to speak to a tuner that has a massive database of previous map'd engines.

So the done thing is to search the computer for previous maps that will be the best matched to the spec of the engine. A base like this is 90% if not better, matched to the engine its for.

This then leads to less time needed for tweaking and getting it perfect than any other "base" you could find.

= cost effective and quick. I guess a "base" like this is Ł50 worth.
Some cars never need anything else touched after that base map.

However if you needed or wanted a live map done, you would only expect to pay Ł150 as it wouldnt take that long to perfect the map. Couple of hours of driving with a laptop worst ways while your with the tuner seeing and getting the first hand info as it happens.

No need to leave the car with the tuner, then come back X amount of days later. To be told it took days to complete, used loads of petrol and getting charged Ł500+ for the same thing as above.

Only my thought obviously.

 

A very good point ^^

 

Excellent advice!

 

To be fair these days its probably cheaper all in using a new ecu with loom etc and base map supplied already but using L6 on a cvh warrants being setup and mapped to not only go fast realibaly but to have a good cold map aswell . That can takes days to get correct.

A good base map to get the car safely to a tuner is what they'll be after.
