Whats different between the low boost lynx ECU and the standard ECU? Seen two different things, 1 saying its only a map and another saying its a chip. Are the low boost ECU mappable or not? Been looking at an eaton M62 charger and was thinking a low boost ECU may work with a few tweeks________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

The lynx low boost uses the standard ECU with a reprogrammed chip. They are not live mappable in the way a Omex or DTA is. Seeing as you will need a custom map for an Eaton, a standard ECU really isn't an option. |

You could use a standard ecu or low boost mapped ecu, they're the same thing really. You'd have to get Wayne to map it for you though. |

You can live map a standard ECU - if you have the right equipment - and Wayne is the only person in the UK for this.The standard ECU could be mapped for an Eaton SC - Wayne has had a breakthrough with the standard ECU where he now has the ability to rescale the MAP sensor and let the ECU read boost - thus avoiding the need to put the throttle body on the inlet of the compressor, as we do on the low boost conversion.

Thanks for the info. Wayne isnt really too far away, couple hours down the A1. Rich does this mean i wont need to buy a low boost ecu as he would be able to map my wcu from standard?I just thought i would ask the question as i cant see why the eaton cant be mapped on the standard ecu when the lynx kits can. ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

quicker throttle response one would imagine, also no issues with hoses collapsing under vacuum.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

This is good news Rich, are you thinking of making upgrade kits with say, dumpvalve and flanges to reposition the throttle body? Would we still need the ICV with this configuration? I imagine there would be some interest from members who are low boost?? |

This might have been covered but a quick search didn't find anything; can the standard map sensor read boost with Wayne's breakthrough, and if so what sort of boost can it read up to?If the standard one can't, is it a case of going down an aftermarket 3 bar type? ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

This isn't something I will make an upgrade kit for unless there's lots of interest and people willing to put their hands in their pockets and comit to it.You would need a new flange for the inlet manifold welded on (to accept the T  , new restrictor setup that works without the TB in that location, DV, and the ICV would need sorting out. Electronically it would need a new MAP sensor (standard one only reads 1 BAR or atmospheric ) and new software ________________________________________ Contact Details:rich@lynxpowerengineering.co.uk 07732 822546 |

I'd be interested shortly but not just yet, bit low on funds. I haven't looked on the low boost I have just bought, but how does the brake servo work in relation to boost pressure not going into vacuum ect.. does it have a one way valve on it? |

You would need to put a one way valve into the vac system before the servo. I've been thinking about doing this if I ever get time and less money commitments to go high boost. Was gonna look into DTA or Omex management with throttle body on the inlet and dump valve. Gotta love the wooooop TISSHH noises As of later this month I have a garage at my new house I could build up an engine in (no room at work) so this is quite doable. But finances may not allow once I've moved so we shall see. ________________________________________ Black power baby!

There is a one way valve installed already - this is standard, it's the white / black T piece type fitting ________________________________________ Contact Details:rich@lynxpowerengineering.co.uk 07732 822546 |

Id be interested to switching to this sort of setup as i will probably look to run my engine with aftermarket management so may as well get the ebst out of everything.If you had some idea of the work involved and what sort of price you would exepct it to cost Rich that would be cool, happy to commit if it's within my means  ________________________________________ Just Drive It |
