I did Dave, from PWCars (who have recently closed) I am going back to GRN Monday as they have the old 'map' file and will restore it for me.

Did the car run OK on the previous PWC map - what power did it make?

Similar power but the AFR's were a lot better, I don't have a printed graph but saw it on the screen at Power Engineering' on Friday.

The car runs well now, as it did then.

I spoke to the guy who did the PWCars map on Friday as well.

So what sparked the change to RICA?

He was scared my gay gold car would have more power, either way I've always beaten him on torque, though he beats me on talk.

That's exactly what Anne wants to know lol, Big G took me out in his C70 and it seemed a better drive.

Spot on mate, hopefully easily sorted though.

**Wobbly Dave** · Saturday 8th March 2014, 22:29

Don't worry about it Graham. We've all done it - including me, putting stuff on that doesn't work as well as we'd hoped. My net result is I am increasingly cynical about most mods.

Be curious to see what if anything will happen should you put the Do88 pipe back on once the map is swapped back.

I've had 4 custom maps for my 19T. RICA was my first & Autotech was my last (and still current).

I hope you get where you want to be, with your own mods soon.

**V70 Graham** · Saturday 8th March 2014, 22:37

Thanks Dave, tbh I just want to try and get a decent map back on the car, I can't see me trying the do88.se pipe again.

As you well know it it a pain when you think your doing the right thing and improving the car when in reality your taking a step backwards.

My best mod was my bleed valve, lol, although the remapped ECU I got from Lee has negated that, seems the more I try to do to my car the more it tries to p1ss me off.

Sounds about right, you and me both mate.

**Wobbly Dave** · Saturday 8th March 2014, 22:48

If you want a tried and tested route for your ME7 engine (same year

as my own SSB ) then I have probably explored most of the pitfalls.

I can provide a spec list that will get you up to around the 300bhp mark, flat torque curve of about 400NM and be completely reliable?

Don't tempt me mate, maybe when I have her running right I'll drop you a pm, out of interest I guess that spec would include a HLM map I take it.

**V70 Graham** · Saturday 8th March 2014, 22:52

The thing I need help with is what mod to do but more importantly in which order.

Yep - suppose there has to be a downside to everything LOL.

Well when I bought Betsy - back in 2006 it had a 16T for about a week. So 19T Turbo & Ferrita?? DP race cat - plus 2.5 inch catback (which I think you already have). You can keep the original blues in there or get greens (optional). My Blues started to play up so I got the greens brand new.

I would hang onto the DO88 fresh air pipe for now. As you already have the DO88 RIP the "blackbeast" FMIC would also help and it matches the pipe diamater of the RIP kit.

You already have the BSR induction which is fine.

Sorry to hear your still having issues, but pleased to hear your making improvements. You will get there Graham and it will be well worth it when you do
