rover t16 turbo engine

as the rover management is crap and cannot cope with more than 14psi

and cannot be mapped

is it possible to do

and who could do it and set the car up if he supplied the bits

any help much appriciated

thanks rich

L33 BYT

i dont own a rover mate

look at my sig and my pics and restorations

trust me never own one

NUTS RuS

DTA (or others) is far far easier

L33 BYT

I was just kidding mate. Would be intersting. Their must be some thing after market for them as I know MEMs is fooking CRAP

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

but im thinkingt of cheapest

here cossie is cheaper than dta

GARETH T

thats what i was thinking

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

i know dta would be an easier opion

but surely that the cossie management would be a cheaper and better advantage

as dta is a grnd then going to get it mapped

cossie stuff is a couple of hundred quid then fitting and mapped so saving a good bit surely

NUTS RuS

iTrader: (35)

If he's penny pinching then forget the idea IMHO

It can be done!

Weber is just as easy as any other management!

In fact im sure it would work very well, even if the car is non Turbo.

martrs

tell him to buy a ford rich

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

yes and no

because the 1st idea was dta then asked me about cosworth

which would be the geater benefits and the cheapest

how good is dta i know nothing about it so can say really as cossie management does what i need it to do and more

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

the car is turbo mate

martrs u know the car and owner im on about im here now talking to him about it

martrs

fair play to him hope he gets it sorted say hello 4 me

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

have done mate

he laughed at ur comment

if he did want to go down that route who would be the best person to ask to fit it and map it

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

btt

NUTS RuS

iTrader: (35)

what route ????

Rab

Could cossie managment be fitted to a K-Sereis anyone? My brother's car is getting nippy, but being held back by managment!

Emerald, plug and play direct where the Rover MEMS unit went Rab

Mark V8

iTrader: (2)

Emerald is plug and play with the standard MEMS loom plug if I remember right and comes with FREE software to home map, not to mention the dirt cheap price for a proper mapping session on Dave Walker's rolling road

Mark

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

ok so what would the best results be between emerald and dta

GARETH T

ask the person whos going to be doing the mapping

ECU Monitor Enthusiast

iTrader: (1)

Emerald plugs straight in to the rover loom - what a good idea

Mark V8

iTrader: (2)

Emerald is cheaper to buy and is around Ł200 + Vat to Map on a super accurate 4 wheel drive rolling road.
You also get to meet Dave Walker at the same time, I got my 2.3 RS2000 mapped by Dave at Emerald and had a great day talking cars and bollox with him, not to mention the drive home

Mark

NUTS RuS

iTrader: (35)

same result effectivly on the same engine

Dave looks after mine too, last time it went down it went in at 1pm and came out at 9-30pm, had a software upgrade to the latest version and cost worked out below Ł24 per hour.

NUTS RuS

iTrader: (35)

Ł850 (roughly) will buy you the box and a mapping session. If you can fit it yourself then thats about it.

Martin-Hadland

iTrader: (2)

fit the emerald system.....

NUTS RuS

iTrader: (35)

Of course yes unless its a Rover (plug and play) so then add on (roughly) a further Ł200 for a loom of some sort.

Me and Sean Bicknell (Zoo Motorsport) both rate them for what they do

r u the one with the k series in ur escort?

anyone got a website or anything so i can give me mate to read up on theemerald

and i take it it will be fine n a turbo car aswell

NUTS RuS

iTrader: (35)

http://www.emeraldm3d.com/em_m3dk.html

Im running a K series yes

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

i saw your car at jamsport when they had the rolling road shootout in the mag

and i had to look twice when i seen the engine

how the hell did u get that in there and what box also



but will give him the web address thanks mate

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

oh also

the management he is running now is 1.9 mems

so its the coilpack ignition

will this ecu run coilpacks

NUTS RuS

iTrader: (35)

Well Im running a coil pack so I guess so

Fits in quite easily actually, and its running a close ratio straight cut Quaife Escort S1 box. When it was at Jamsport I had my 950 Popular Fiesta 4 speed box in

Made a 10mm spacer plate to bolt the engine to the box and Martin from MEFmotorsport spent a week on the lathe making me a special offset flywheel to run the ford splined AP paddle clutch between the two

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

fair play mate

has the engine been reliable?

just had a look at the website

prices arnt that bad and seems to know his stuff from what i just read

so its all down to my mate now

NUTS RuS

iTrader: (35)

Engine has been spot on mate..... Built in 2002 mapped in 2003 and has so far only blown 1 head gasket (faulty seal) and cracked a liner due to increased power. Other problems have been my own fault... bent 8 inlet valves last October (when service crew had it) and thats about it really

Sat here on Dave Walkers rolling road



Spooky lying on your belly about 2 foot from your car when its doing 100mph and pulling about 8000rpm
