Guys ive got somone to map my car, but I need the pectel P8 software, has anyone got a copy they can sell or lend me, Im very honest and would return it or pay for it ?

Thanks Glen

 

Pectel hardware equipped P8 cannot be live mapped with Pectel software.

 

Stu, your company mapped it before and infact you fitted something to it, I think it was a collins piggyback board or something ?

Evolution Chip Serial Number 2598

and you charged for a mapping session ? cheers Glen

 

What has that to do with Pectel software exactly?

On 22/6/2004 a Mr Von Grover came here with a faulty Escort that turned out to be due to a chip mapped for the wrong injectors so as a solution he was charged £150 for a plug in chip that worked correctly. If i recally correctly his board was faulty to so we supplied a daugterboard as our chips need the Ford board normally and he didnt have one so this was his only solution available. More interestingly though, it was plugged into a L8 on this vehicle and not a P8

You will find i charge £500+ to map, so he was NOT charged for a mapping session at all.

Has teh ecu been changed then then?

 

 

Stu I'm a mapper too! when you come to New York City, I'll show you the map of the tubes!

 

 

for the price of the emmulator and the program you would need to map it,,, just take it too stu,, and you will be sorted in one hit

 

ok cool thats good to know thanks, wasnt being cheeky, Ive got the bill here it was £400

I was going on what the seller had told me, it hasnt been changed since you sorted it out.

So its on L8 ecu with a plug in Board,

can you tell me stu, this is not mappable then ? how would you work round the problem of Possible different compression ratio with me fitting my new engine ?

This may of course all be a waste of time, as I have found a letter in my service history stating that the old engine was infact STANDARD compression, and the one im putting in is standard compression, but again who bloody knows, its like a guessing game this haha.

appreciate your advice.

P.s £500+ for mapping !!!

I was 200 quid for a full days mapping on my Evo running Autronics ?!

Glen

 

Have a go on the lottery you have more chance of winning that than being lent the mapping software

 

I cant understand why you mention the bill being £400?
You didnt mention that in the £391 price that the intake manifold was removed and a cometic fitted (not a nice job on an esccos) or that it had a full setup session and a new set of plugs, not to mention a pectel diagnostic datalogging session out on the road yet all these are itemised on your bill. Yes you guessed it, i have the bill here too..

Anyway. To answer your question.
1) All level 8s have a board fitted, as standard. The encryption method of YOUR board dictates what software you can use.

2) All marelli ecu can be mapped by us, and all of them can be mapped "Live" by us, note the 2 are NOT even close to the same thing.

Aside from the fact Autronic was designed to be easy to map and can be done by anyone with a laptop, and the fact it can map its fuel itself, my prices are only expensive if you cant afford them Glen.

 

if you actualy had a insight into live mapping l8 which i have cheeRS stu you would not even argue about the price infact you would expect it to be around 1k not 500 it is a very long and tedious job and FOOKING hard aswell have you ever tried using a laoptop on the move in a car with hard suspension its fookin shit

 

500 notes is cheap to map a Marelli equipped car IMO.

 

i had my car at A1 and simon plugged pectel equipment in to check my sensors, which were ok, i was telling Karl this when he was doing my car and he said pectel couldnt be plugged into a L6 ecu

not that this has anything to do with this thread like

 

500 quid si a fair price, sum peeps charge alot more

 

RSCAT, maybe they swopped out your ECU for a Pectel enabled one for diagnostics?

 

ah yes mate, you could be right on that one, wasnt watching too closely to be honest

 

Stu, thanks for getting back to me.

And yes thats correct, you did fit a commetic gasket and a new set of plugs.

And yes, Good words were passed from Nik about your company, and also heard good from many others.

thats why im into my 3rd day of waiting for a email response re my booking for getting my car remapped ????????

I thought id email as I know you guys are busy, if you can get back to me with a price for work detailed in the email it would be appreciated.

Glen

 

why not just call 01253 508400

 

cheers Gus, yeh I phoned them before I bought the car, but they were very busy, so I thought id send an email, since stu is always on here online, I assumed it would be no hassle to reply to a email

cheers m8, will not go else where as they are recommended to me by most.

 

doesnt ahmed live map p8 ???

 

mate sorry, we have established that my car has L8 ecu with collins chip

 

Deffo, thats what we all do with L6


Im afraid i came back from my holiday in France on Thursday morning to 4 cars per day to do and over 450 E-Mails, not to mention the full quota of 100Pm's here on PF. I will get them all answered in the end, but for a more timely response, feel free to call me.


Ranj,
Not that im aware of although i stand to be corrected.

 

I thought the pm limit was 50, ahem

 

LOL stu 4 cars per day, £2k per day, any jobs going

dont like to disturb you chaps, will give you a ring tmrw, spoke to kenny before nice chap.

regards Glen

 

- the overheads and not every day =£1999

 

overheads yeh I know all about them, run my own company and director in another cheers

 

I wish it was possible to map 4 cars in a day. Its only barely possible to do 1 correctly and most take more than 1 day

 

and £60 in optimax

Hope to meet you soon stu, will check my email tmrw sometime, and see if you have got back to me, regards Glen

 

Ok Pal

 

There is no need to be afraid to use a lower comp engine on the same chip (mapped for higher compression)... because this will make it safer (not faster)... you only need to adjust the ignitionretard again in the map..

 

Not for Admin its not, so have this right back Ricki....


Glenn,
You have E-Mail.

 

Yes but not the other way round which is what the situation looks like it could be (ie. running a low comp chip & then using that in std. or higher comp ratio engine).

 

cheers stu, nothing in my mail box @ bbigman2000@yahoo.co.uk

il be patient sometimes yahoo is slow at sending and delivering

turbinator, thanks for that buddy, as Ian kindly says though it is POSSIBLE that the compression ratios are same, I just dont know ive found a letter from long Buckby motors stating that the engine currently in it is standard BUT there is others telling me that it has low comp pistons in it.

the new engine is on standard compression !

So its a guessing game, I think Im gonna take it to stu and get it sorted out properly anyway despite the hassle and time its gonna take to get it there

regards Glen

 

Was sent at 9:37am.

 

havent got it,

leave it mate see if it gets through later today

 

Wasnt very exciting, just confirming that date is ok.
maybe call me after 4 and we can figure out what you need and what the necessity is that i personally have the car, as for just a greens std comp setup i can just post you whats required but you do need a std Ford daughterboard.

 

ah cool that would be good mate yeh if you can do it via the mail for me will give you a bell after 4

Glen
