flirt Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 im interested mate... what gains we looking at? where is thor? have my num if you go for it call me... pm me if so thanx Quote
Removed Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 Thor is around Warwick IIRC. re; gains: depends on your other mods. Surely the offer should be even a little better now the £ is even stronger vs the $. But we need numbers, and guinea pigs Quote
captint Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 I'm interested, how are the numbers looking? Quote
Removed Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 have no idea anymore! let's start again! TheMinel captint flirt Quote
Baptist Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Its a great system, get it done, stop fannying around!! (do i have to try everything first round here?) Quote
Removed Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 so EIS are already ok with tuning it ? Quote
Baptist Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 Yeah, but you'll need your engine out if you want them to do it. I also dont think you'd like their prices. Thor will be able to accommodate your group buy/tune no problems. Did a good job on my mates Supra. Quote
Sarnie Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Can someone tell me in less than 20 words what this UTEC thingy will do to the zed? Quote
AndyC Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Can someone tell me in less than 20 words what this UTEC thingy will do to the zed? As far as I understand it mate, its an ecu that is tuneable & mapable meaning that you can change between maps for different conditions. Apologies if I'm wrong Quote

So whats the benefit of changing between maps? Quote

So whats the benefit of changing between maps? The main reason for it, I think, is that you can benefit from any performance mods you've made Quote

Baptist Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 You wont need to change maps on a N/A car, I doubt you'd even feel the difference between them. I only have 1 map, I just change boost on mine. Quote
AndyC Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Ok, getting there.So theoretically we could have 330-ish bhp zeds if we have aftermarket zorst,plenums, hi flow cats coupled with this new ecu? Not just as simple as that mate as the mods wouldn't give that sort of gain, but looks like you've got the theory yes. Quote
Baptist Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I honestly think you'll get about 10-15bhp with N/A mods and the UTEC, but you will have the peace of mind that you keep the gains (without the stock ECU switching between maps, offsetting the gains) and that your A/F will be **** on. Quote
Removed Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 results both in Italy and US have shown ~15hp increase with basic bolt ons. WRT the maps, I'd say they could be more useful than you think, even NA the OEM ECU has already got "3 maps". Limp mode, fuel saving and aggressive driving. Improving over those 2 (ie more economical driving) could be one map, then you could the the most aggressive map you can, then maybe a "valeting map" for when you hand in the Z to the dealer/wife/gf (so that then can't go over say 4000rpm) Quite a few possibilities imho Quote
flirt Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 sounds good im in. just call me when you do it. only live 20 mins from thor Quote
Baptist Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 The thing is, you only would be using the UTEC when in closed loop conditions, so under normal driving, even if you had it set on the 'aggressive' map, it would only come into affect under WOT conditions. Multiple maps sounds great, but in real world, you dont really use it that much. I leave mine on high boost 95% of the time, I just dont put my foot down as far if I dont want to go as fast. Its even less relevant on a N/A car, as your not going to feel the difference between a 10bhp map, in all honesty. Quote
captint Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Could you have a map that runs at 1000 rpm for car thiefs Quote
Guest prescience Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 I'd say so yes Val, I'm sure that's right; if you recall previously, one of the map settings was set aside for a valet mode - even more useful, since you hand over your car for service regularly - think it was 2500 or 3000 rpm max? Quote
Removed Posted November 3, 2006 Author Posted November 3, 2006 it's in the UTEC manual I posted here somewhere, can't remember. Quote
Stew Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Well if you could map for 1000rpm then surely you could map it so it'd stall Quote
