thats my biggest problem, just about everyone who knows these engines are far away from Edinburghso far theres AVA in glasgow who have mapped a few turbo'd pugs, Sounds of Silence-they have done a few big power XU's and then theres Peugeot ecosse,although ive heard quite a few horror stories about their mapping. SOS are practically next door to me so i'm thinking, when the time eventually comes then they may be the people to sort me out |

Didnt SOS do that silly 205 turbo with some ridiculous amount of power Gti6 engine. Probably not a bad choice really... ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

eliot-yes they built that car, 440 bhp, i have been round the track and its f**kin mental! but i seem toremember (through reading their build thread) that AVA did the mapping, i was speaking to one of SOS's workers/staff today who was running in a soon to be 500bhp fiesta, he seems to know his stuff |

I contacted Sitech racing who are based very close to me about mapping, the chap i spoke to was veryhelpful and went through various possible specs in great detail, is willing to map pretty much any ecu i discussed the Pectel ecu that i'm almost about to buy and he told me not to bother with it as if there were to be any faults with it then it could be very costly to fix. The guy recommended the omex 600 or even one of the newer megasquirt units - something which he has a lot of experience with Whats more, assuming the wiring and sensors are right, quoted me £50 per hour and 4-5 hours to map it from start to finish, plus leave the car overnight so he can fine tune the cold start. AVA want ~£500 to map SOS £400 Sitech ~£250 250 seemed a bit cheap to me but alot of people who race at knockhill seem to rate Sitech alot |

I wouldn't worry too much about who knows these engine's, they are basic 2 litre NA engines and anyone who claims to be a 'mapper ' should be able to do the job. Sure mapping might get complicated on vtec Turbo stuff but not on gti6 engines. Match the amount of fuel going in to the amount of air going in and get the advance right and that's it really. Hardest part is indeed setting the cold start right! The rest is just time consuming to get it right. ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

Mapping by numbers, versus creating proper dynamic maps that drive well and keep the engine clean and performing well over time, are two very different things. Knowing an engine type is a big advantage (as is a good relationship with the ECU type); you start at a higher level and can achieve alot more in the time available. Good mapping is not a given and standards vary hugely. Unfortunately, most people spend quite alot of money on mediocre work in this area and there really are very few people mapping that really, really do a good job. |
