Yeah well I'm after a bit of everything. If I valued economy above all else I'd lift my foot ;)

As for the speed cut, I guess it doesn't matter, I just object to having a limit. I'm weird like that.

Too bloody right!

Nobody's telling me what I can't not do... not?:nyaanyaa:

I don't NEED to go more than 171km/h, but I'd be nice to know I CAN; if I want to.

And everyone does ONE top speed run; right?:ph34r:

Don't think I'm going to beat my last TS anyway...

So how much throttle do you want on launch?

On a stall launch I get 35% throttle opening that see's 2600 rpm straight away and hold it for a couple of seconds and I get to 3000rpm and rear wheel spin. And release the throttle and off she goes.

Cheers

I know what you mean Andy, but you can't always dial it up at will, to dispose of pesky Commo's.:domokun:

I'd like minimal delay, so you can punch away from a standing start, no stall up.

You need to get the highflow and I think the ProfecB boost controller has helped with my launch.

Can't stall when cruising at 100kph and 1900rpm

Yes, it's on my extremely long list of thing to do...

Re; boost control. Is that because you can build full boost lower in the rev range?

So am I completely wasting my time looking at the G-Zone remap, and should just look at Emanage?

Well, I won't say its a waste of time. But to make the best use of the remap I'd think you really need a tune as well.

Putting in the ECU isn't going to give you an extra 50awkw...I don't think :blush:

I think Andy has an Impul ECU with pretty much all the mods done but its at around 180awkw (correct me if I'm wrong Andy). If its all tuned then you'd get a much higher figure...

To me a remap is never going to be the perfect solution. It's more for standard (or standard-ish) cars, and will usually give you more power for the same or less fuel. Except in this case where it gives you some freedoms.

Then a standalone (or in our case, everything is a piggyback) will provide the tuning necessary for your mods, depending on your level of modification.

The only reason for getting a G-Zone, by the sounds of it, is to get rid of the speed cut and throttle restriction.

No. Certainly won't be a waste of time IMO

The Impul was either a) a generic Impul map (most likely) or b) tuned for the previous owner.

It was never remapped for the mods that Andy has done.

It is possible to see a significant performance increase from a remapped ECU as long as those that remap it are aware of your mods, have a heap of experience with the model of car and, finally, are damn good at what they do.

It will never be as accurate as an in-car tune, but going from 140awkw to 190awkw on a remap with isupporting mods done would not be out of the realms of possibility.

Spot on

It would certainly be a good "First Step" though, and then E-Manage down the track if that's not enough.

For some, it might be the "little extra" they're after.

I got mine from Ebay BNIB for $500 shipped + harness for $100. I could be out by $50 but it wasn't that much more.

Well Richxz made it sound like he values economy above all else. Getting rid of the throttle restriction isn't going to help that...

And speed cut....well unless you're tracking/dragging the car, are you really going to use that? :whistling:

It's not that I value economy above all else but I do want it better because I'm paying $1.50+ for 92 ron down here! If I'm driving it hard then the economy is what it is but if I'm not then I'd like it better than what it is for such a modern engine.

E Manage works out pretty expensive for me as the car and I have to go on the boat from here to Cihan and back so it makes the G Zone more economical for me. I just hope they can give us what we want in a re-map.

Considering I went from 125awkw to 175awkw with only a high flowed turbo and an impul ecu; thats definitely not out of the realms of possibility

I think its more than possible.... mine is sitting at 215KW with sierra stage 1 highflow, exhaust and intercooler... standard ecu. Will be interesting to see what I will get with the e manage installed.

This, I like!

How much clearance around the new turbo? At least v-bands make mounting a little easier.

Your welding has really come along mate; kudos.:thumbsup:
