Booked Car In To Get Piggy Back

[Ckman85]

Well after telling u lot about Redline Tuning, i booked my car in to get the Piggy Back ECU and mapped on tuesday. CANT WAIT but also VERY NERVOUS with the outcome. Rich at Redline re-assured me the car will hav gain and will improve fuel consumption and the car will hav no problem.

Will get back to u lot wen its done and will show u the results from dyno Print out.

O yeh did some1 from here called Keith or Kevin Email him? bcos he told me that some1 with a Tsport emailed him recgarding about the Piggy Back.

O yeh he uses Dastek or isit Dastec? Piggy backs

Get back to u lot wen its Done and Hopefully if its a success more ppl from the forum will get it done by him and we will b able to beat Type R's (On the Track obviously) LOL

Your a legend! ah get me the details and im coming to!

[Norfolk n Chance]

If this works i sense a group buy.........

[nrgizerbunny]

me too!

[t-sport786]

Defo worth investing in, will also get one if its all goodd :D

[borodaz]

this will be very interesting, make sure u do a before and after dyno, or is that already the plan ?

where is this redline company based ?

[nrgizerbunny]

essex

[farhanali89]

Theres two problems with this working A i will need to travel to get it done

and B I will be skint after lol

[Ckman85]

Ive already got a Dyno already and my car is producing 194.3 bhp, thats with a Typhoon kit and full custom exhaust. If its a success i hope their will b a group buy, he did mension if i brought some1 else he wud charge both of us each for £550, where as now hes gna charge me £650, but if this is a success and u all decide to go, giv me a mension and ill get a nice discount next time i see him AHAHAHAHAHA

[borodaz]

Ahhh my bad I must have missed the dyno result, strange how u got 194bhp with typhoon and exhaust and gem got 201bhp with same mods, Spose all cars will be slightly different.

When is it booked in for ? I'm looking forward to hearing more :)

Not that i want to worry you at all, but there was a guy Poland who had his CTS re-mapped to 205bhp last year and i emailed him at the time to ask about it....

Hi,

I did it in TTC.pl, but I do not recommend this remap. Burnt sparkplugs and very high EGT. Reverted to stock after 20k kms. Fortunately no damage to the engine.

Hopefully this chip won't create the same problems!

I went to get the Dastek fitted to my first CTS a couple of years back but having wired it in they couldn't get the lift to engage so I ended up scrappign the idea of having it fitted! He couldn't figure it out but being the first facelift CTS he had installed it on he seemed to think something in the ECU was blocking the install :(

I'm sure you could do something about the plugs like using a higher temp rated plug, but not sure what damge the high EGT would do???

[nrgizerbunny]

would probably melt the lambda sensor! or result in premature exhaust failure.

[GTForbes]

the Dastek chips are chronicly BAD NEWS, everyone who i know who has had one fitted has either ended in engine failure/damage or the mappers 'couldn't map the car'. the units are unstable and cheap POS's.

personally i'd say get an OBDII re-map and see what gains can be had but i doubt it would be much, not without serious engine danger.

one plus is if you do go for the Dastek chip it's easily removed! lol

do some research into what piggy back ECU's have been used on the 2zz - other peeps have already beeen guinea pigs. Dastek wasnt one recommended i'm sure - i will look for the link and send it on to you.

[Ckman85]

Yeh itll b gr8 if u cud find wot piggy back ecu wud work on our car. I guess if the worse comes to worse ill just hav it removed. I was thinking of getting some Piper cams aswell.

Fingers crossed the map will go successfully

thats sounds kool if its possible!

i think you can remap the type r engine to rev even higher to like 8.5 or 9k rpm so if that can be done in the cts aswell im in!

[Norfolk n Chance]

BUMP!

Good luck for today mate!

Fingers crossed that it works!

[nrgizerbunny]

I wouldn't mind if the max power doesn't increase but you get more power low down.

I'm intrigued as to what the results will be like!

FREE BUMP!

[Norfolk n Chance]

So either it's a huge success which means he's out playing or it was the complete opposite and his engine went bang!

C'mon! Don't keep us in suspense!!

[Ckman85]

Ive just got my car back and the car is producing 204.3bhp now. I know a lot of u r thinking not that much gain but not so much high end BUT mid range is DEF a lot more responsive now.

Will post Dyno print out and video lata. REALLY TIRED NOW, not use to waking up at 8 in the morning now AHAHAHAHAH

[Norfolk n Chance]

That's still a 10bhp increase ;)

I take it they smoothed out the Torque curve?

And get that Dyno print up now!!!

[GTForbes]

was it a dastek chip you got fitted?
