tuning & management help

[smoke187]

the thing is i need the car to go on the road as soon as spring hits and i have no garage to pull the car into to sit there and tune it

[therieldeal]

you need to drive it around to tune it

[smoke187]

well i knew that just installing things in the middle of winter is not fun when you have nowhere to keep warm

[therieldeal]

you can build the wiring harness in the house, then you just have to drop it in and run a vacuum line for it.

i plan to get my system from lex

[therieldeal]

ok then it will plug right in you will just need to mount the ecu

Arent the Maps from BuGS being used with just a normal BP09 ECU so they wont really help Smoke with the BP55 ECU?

[Lex]

Correct, the ones I posted are for a BP26 ECU with 460cc injectors and a GTR turbo.

[atomicEGT]

i tuned mine myself with no prior experience...

idk why he didnt reply

Probably because I spaced out and forgot.

i guess i might be trying to tune this crap until i can get the money together for the ms setup that wont be until after xmas just need to figure out how to navigate this thing

i don't think any of them safc maps would work unless im pushing the same amount of cfm/boost to match them right with the same ecu

not sure of the differences in the bp55,bp58,bp26

Lex's map was a very good start for me when I had a similar stetup. I would guess even though you have a different setup that you could still start with lex's numbers because you would probably be closer to the actual value that your setup needs. I hated my SAFC II with a passion, you could get the car to run fairly well-decent one day and the next day it seemed to run terrible.

There's very little difference that you can distinguish between the 3 GTX ECUs. As long as they are programmed for the same sized injectors - that's all that matters in this case. The rev limit is the highest on the BP26.

[smoke187]

well i will start with lex's numbers but im not changing anything until i get the car on the road next spring

i was even thinking of finding a used safc neo a friend of mine has one and said its allot easier to use then the safc 2

[93 Pro]

How pricey are the NEOs? I think they are a decent chunk of change and at that point you would be just better off saving for a little longer and getting the megasquirt from Lex.
