100% guaranteed results; we will improve your existing map quality ( if you already have one); no improvement no charge !
OVERVIEW
This type of "live" mapping is considered by many top tuners and race teams to be the ultimate and most effective form, and is employed by all high end and Professional Motorsport applications such as Rally, Formula 1, Indy car, high end custom builds and Special Project divisions, etc.
Companies who regularly employ such live road mapping techniques include McLaren F1 team, G- Power, Mossleman turbo, Bugatti, ABT etc. *NOTE: Our specialist mapping engineer regularly carries out mapping projects for all the above companies/teams.
This form of mapping is ideally suited to :
- custom hi power engine builds
- forced induction conversions
- carbon airbox conversions
- customers who want the very best customised map possible
- wild engine transplants
IMPLEMENTAION & DETAILS
The ONLY way to live map is to solder special sockets inside the DME/ECU board and connect a device called an Emulator between the DME and laptop, then a good Air - Fuel Ratio gauge to the exhaust and/or manifold,and plugging in a good diagnostic software tool to the OBD port (such as INPA), all expensive hi – tech items. It IS NOT possible to do any kind of live map by plugging a laptop alone into the OBD port, period.
In basic terms the emulator replicates what the DME is doing, in real time onto our laptop whilst we are driving (usually on a track, such as our fully equipped facilities at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground), allowing us to accurately monitor and instantly adjust all parameters (fuel, ignition advance, vanos control, knock sensoring, safety fields, temp. control etc) whilst driving at all loads, all throttle openings, all revs, under real world conditions, until the optimal map for your car and your requirements is achieved. In essence the laptop becomes the car’s instantly adjustable DME/ECU for the duration of the process. Any changes that are made to the car’s programme take effect and can be felt and measured immediately.
Live road mapping tends to gives the best drivability characteristics possible, as after all you mapping the car in real time during "real world" use and on a real road. This allows the most accurate, effective, powerful and truly custom one – off map possible for each individual car, configured to it’s individual environment and climate, suited to the owner’s individual driving style and fully tested to the maximum on a speed limit-free track.
In the UK we normally carry out these mapping sessions at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, near Leicester, but we also travel anywhere in the world as required by the customer.
Dynos are rarely used by us for this process... although they have their uses in initial set up procedures and attaining comparative power figures,a dyno is not always as accurate as many believe, and most importantly perhaps, can never fully replicate real world air flow, climatic and momentary load conditions etc, all of which are very crucial factors. There can also sometimes be a tendency for a dyno- only tuned car to display a "stepped" feeling in power incease as revs rise, rather than a steady seamless progression. Force inducted cars in particular should ALWAYS be live mapped, at least in the final stages, as the fuel/air mixture very often shows up as too rich on a dyno (lack of real world air flow); if the mixture is consequently leaned out too far this can possibly cause engine damage when the car is back to driving on the road. Another point to keep in mind is that is getting more and more difficult to get accurate and meaningful dyno data for modern cars due to their sophisticated electronic systems interfering with the dyno operation and readings.
(NOTE: The above statements are in no way meant to denigrate the many good companies out there that use dynos extensively for tuning nor the good work they achieve.We are merely stating our preferred method of live mapping based on our and our engineers' many years of high- end experience).
COSTS & GUARANTEE
Live mapping can cost anywhere from £1400 to £2100 including track hire fees and we normally only suggest this method for force inducted engines or highly modified cars, one- off engines or for the discerning owner with a car in a relatively normal state of tune who simply wants the very best and does not mind paying a bit extra for it.
Call us to discuss if this is the right option for you and the likely costs.
**REMEMBER, FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF WE DO NOT IMPROVE ON YOUR EXISTING MAP OR FAIL IN ANY WAY. WE ARE HAPPY TO ATTEND TO A DYNO PREMISES OF YOUR CHOICE TO CARRY OUT "BEFORE" AND "AFTER " COMPARISONS.
