Well, my car has had it's mapping completed on low-boost.
Really pleased with how it drives. Will @ RDT.tv has done a supremely amazing job as the car feels and drives like it is OEM
Throttle response is incredible, smoothness during gear changes is lovely, the powerband is really smooth and predictable, cold start is perfect, etc. etc.
Fan-bloody-tastic job overall
Especially considering the issues my car has had during the tune - namely the turbo actuator won't hold high more than 6/7 PSI consistently, so the high-boost map can't be finalised until I get that sorted. This is because of 1. Cheaping out and buying a secondhand/unknown condition turbocharger setup. I hopefully won't need to re-bush the turbo housing for the arm but I will know when I get a new actuator in a few days time and give it a thorough checking over. 2. Buying a Race-Tech MAP sensor that needed to be calibrated unexpectedly and 3. The PLX wideband sensor being faulty as it is reading incorrectly (Need to send the sensor back and get a proper Bosch one).
I've also had Hondata Boost By Gear and the boost solenoid fitted, PLX Wideband installed into the S300, a secret hi and low boost button fitted, lower temp thermostat, fan controls added to the ECU and loads of other little bits and bobs.
The first graph shows the finished low boost setup (dotted lines) and the almost finished hi boost setup (solid lines)
Hub Torque is blue and Hub HP is green. The plot is slightly off when it comes to RPM so ignore that for now as it's only for loose reference.
The second plot shows the baseline test he ran back in February on the old Crome map compared with the new Hondata S300 map on High Boost (that still needs tweaking).
So again, a massive thanks to Will @ RDT.tv for doing such a sterling job and for having the time to go through things with me methodically, explain the processes and generally doing what no one has ever done for me in the car world which is providing an outstanding service that makes me want to whole-heartidly refer anyone and everyone you know to him as I've never driven a remapped car that feels as good as this before.
Cheers
