Subota Boy 402 Report post Posted May 8, 2015 You can see that Julia is happy with the noise levels (outside anyway!) And then a remap - not shiny, but beautiful in a different way!! Very happy chap (me) left Fensport, that's for sure!! Happy to share the experience with anyone interested!! 6 Omer86, Lauren, JamesP1991 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keethos 842 Report post Posted May 8, 2015 Remember to give the gas pedal a couple of full pumps as you'll have a bit of a dead zone to begin with. Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think with the latest ecutek this isn't so much of a problem. I havn't felt it for the last few remaps. But worth doing anyway!

Church 209 Report post Posted May 8, 2015 From my notes from here and there, after ECU reset to lessen dead pedal: Tun car to accessory power (to power on ECU). Slowly press the accelerator 5 times fully to the floor & depress (for ECU to register 100% pedal movement). Turn on engine. Not sure about accessory bit, if not, one can turn on w/o pressed clutch. Some fuel trim learning might still be in place though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keethos 842 Report post Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks for the tip Keith. Don't recall Adrian mentioning this. Not found a dead zone that I can feel? No worries, to be fair, he didn't mention it to me either. I think it was Jay and Steve who told me to pump the pedal to resolve it. I don't recall it being mega obvious but I started to stall the car when setting off and realised the dead zone. But hopefully it has been fixed on the Ecutek side.

Kodename47 446 Report post Posted May 8, 2015 It's not an ECUtek thing, it happens on any ECU reset/flash. The ECU has to learn the limits of the sensors, like the pedal and throttle plate. Unless you're driving away immediately after a reset/flash then I doubt you'd notice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Subota Boy 402 Report post Posted May 10, 2015 Thursday James. Drive home was pretty special. And drives since, exploring the improvements, have me falling in love with the car all over again. Hope you are feeling the same!! Keith 1 KevinA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP1991 222 Report post Posted May 10, 2015 Ahh so literally only a day apart! Glad you had a load of fun on the way home though Keith, have you played around with any of the features yet like launch control and flat foot shifting?? Certainly I am a very happy camper ☺️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Subota Boy 402 Report post Posted May 10, 2015 No James, not yet. Today had me stood in a layby on dual carriageway. Julia then floored it out of the layby so I could listen to the noise. IT WAS QUITE NOISY. She went up to the roundabout and came back down the other side so I could hear what 70mph sounded like. I was very pleased with what I heard - not noisy at all, but purposeful, with a lovely "nee-ow" as she went off down the road. I enjoyed the "ne-ow" that the UEL gives you on videos I have heard, but was not expecting it to be as pronounced as it was, from the EL. Yours must sound awesome in that regard. Done the pedal press in accessory mode, and feel like it made a slight difference. Bit more shove in the passenger seat for me today. Wife has big grin and says things like "I couldn't help myself".

Subota Boy 402 Report post Posted May 12, 2015 Had a quick attempt at a 0-100 time today, using my P3 gauge. Previously was 7.6 secs, as expected. Today was 6.86 - how appropriate! Next time I'll use the map features to see if i can improve on that. 1 JamesP1991 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will try launch control next time, when the fuel is low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
