What ECU are you using?

Can you map throttle angle versus rpm = boost?

If so, traction is surprisingly good on Rob's when done like that on the SM4.

Emerald ecu is fitted.

As for the map throttle angle versus rpm = boost?

Im ashamed to say Im not sure as Ive never delved into the mapping side of things. Im sure one of the boys will post later with some answers or info on how things are progressing.

That's harsh as f*ck, but funny as hell!

@ Luke

Mate, have you actually gone full bore with the car yet since the last bit of setup. You know, doing a "neil" into the corners?

Superb car mate! Got to be my favourite mk3 fezza by a mile! Sounds like you have thought about the problems a big bhp fwd car has and addressed them instead of just wacking in the engine and hoping for the best like most. Hope to be seeing this used in anger this year . Any plans to run this at totb?

You know, a "Neil" is doing whatever possible to go into a corner at stupid speed and coming back out with either 3 wheels or a full pair of shorts Bar killing your car of course

Glad you enjoy it pal, its been a long time coming. Brunters soon o.k. swap cars

that just reminded me of mine when it was on the engine dyno at harveys but stayed on boost @30 psi for a good 2/3 mins at 7500 rpm , it went from stainless to red ,then to white and you could see the exhaust gases pulsing through the stainless , well i was nearly crying , thinkin it gonna blow up in a minute harvey was laughing at me and ahmed pulled the det cans off and said theres more to come from that but thats it for 2 day as the injectors are running at 92% duty cycle , i just thought fuckin hell dont these guys ever give up!
good to watch someone elses engine and not mine
