Kodename47 446 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 I think Ian was on about the throttle mappingThottle mapping has always been available on ECUtek/any tuning platform. Having more than one assignable to individual switchable maps is what is new.I guess the throttle mapping is for Adrian to decide what works best. I can't really see the benefit of more than one setup on a turbo except maybe to slow it down for an economy mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's right, throttle angle on a turbo car is not the "whole story" ..... what works nice on the turbo cars with electronic boost control is "boost vs throttle position maps" which makes for a nice easier transition when cornering on the limit, eg half throttle half or low boost and full throttle full boost We are already doing this with all turbo conversions that have electronic boost control Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rab 60 Report post Posted December 20, 2013 Firstly - Massive thanks to everyone at Fensport! Also thanks to Hashiriya, Will300 and Markinstoke for the micromeets on my way home last night! I haven't been able to play properly yet as I'm on the winter tyres, but on the journey home last night I had a few blasts and it's quick, seriously quick. And I know there's much more potential so watch this space! Also, i didn't take my time driving home for xmas (sing-a-long everyone!) and it returned 29.9mpg! Was up at 39mpg before i met Will at the UK Meet hotspot but we soon got that down a fair bit and by the time I left Mark I was just desperate to get home so not even the snow on the M6 at the Lake District slowed me down (that'll be the winters!). Will post more as I get used to it. Loving the spoiler, very stealth! If anyone in Scotland/the Norf wants to have a poke about it just let me know and we'll arrange something Cheers!

Rab 60 Report post Posted December 20, 2013 So - I'm just back from a run in the countryside with the dealer principal and the service manager of Eaglesham Garage! You should have seen the cheezy grins on their faces!! Suitably impressed! Had a bit of an airborne moment due to having more power than usual on a section of road I know well, this car has got some serious ooomph! The service manager's GB270 doesn't go airborne, come to think of it, neither have any of my previous cars, at the same section, the run up to it is normally to short! And the noise going through a tunnel??? You'd think it was a supercar with the sound off it! Have an exhaust tweak to sort out then I'll get some sound clips up. Definitely up for the FI Meet Keith!!

Tweedbean 151 Report post Posted November 7, 2014 Quick question, this looks really exposed underneath the car, is there a splash guard etc that goes on after this picture was taken to protect the parts from the elements, especially on a lowered car? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 442 Report post Posted November 7, 2014 Yes - there is a bottom tray which protects it. (Well - there is on the GT86....) I've driven more than 15,000 miles turbo'd (lowered 25mm) and there have been no issues attributable to road crap or detritus which have affected the turbo.... only problem's been my driving!

Guest Report post Posted December 4, 2014 I would like to buy a Fensport alloy pulley kit, but in gold anodised finish. I believe Adrian will need a minimum of four orders to get this colour done? http://www.fensport.co.uk/Parts/Model_108/Category_1/4259 Would anyone else be interested?? Please post club prices and min qty's Adrian... Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fensport 76 Report post Posted December 4, 2014 We'll find out from the anodisers and get back to you Nige, or alternatively you could get the plain ones done if the numbers aren't there Regards Adrian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted December 4, 2014 I am aware that Adrian needs to get an order for at least 4 pulley sets to get the anodising done. I asked if another three people would be interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
