short induction no map
Discussion
I expect they'll get an order soon.
Have had an interesting day with some contradictory advice given from well known tvr tuning outfits. The problem is arising in the fact I live Near Newcastle and allthough a re-map at austec would be the best solution all round, I cant find £881.25 for the re map, £150 for petrol and £150+ for accomadation food, drinks etc etc not to mention the time off work(self employed). Ive looked in my arse and its just not there. Bare in mind Ive just spent a grand on getting it back on the road after 18 month sitting in my garage. Any how nobodys problem but mine!
I have been told by one company they can supply a "safe" chip by post to fit to the ecu to get me going. I have been told by the other firm(who supplies the chips any way)that its not feasible to do this as there is a good chance the sent chip(map) will be no good either.
I have just (tonight) checked out raceproveds web site. They mention emerald ecu mapping, but do they work on the cerbera set up aswell?? Shefield is a hell of a lot closer then austec. I could get there and back in a day.
Cheers

How many of the long purple pipes are shot? I've got six or seven lying around
spotted them in the shed earlier. If you need them could send them out to you.
Whilst a generic chip would certainly be safer, it won't be ideal as it won't be bespoke
to suit your engine and exhaust system.

Although I have the short induction kit and a Remap, and all the benefits it gives. It does makes the car feel more like a 4.2, and I still kinda miss the characteristics of the orginal 4.5 long induction set up. So don't get too pissed off thinking your missing out on something. staying with the original set up isn't a bad thing.

Thankyou Ill bear that in mind. Wish I had posted something earlier! induction kit is all bought and paid for. Wasnt even that bothered about doing it, was forced into it realy cause of lack of original pipes!!! spotted them in the shed earlier. If you need them could send them out to you.

If money is tight then sell your pipes on or wait till you can afford it? Get some 2nd hand ones for time being maybe?
But if money is really that tight then I suggest saving your money for when repairs are required as opposed to tuning that isnt necessary etc (nort withstanding your immediate issue)..
Raceproved I am sure can provide a generic chip or can map the car for you - they have the best known Cerb tuner on the planet.
They have a reasonable hrly rate and they are 100% straight - so you will get great value.

Interesting Alan. Could you elaborate on that please..After the re-map it had all the characteristics of, and felt like, a slightly more powerful 4.2. It was as though 'The Beast had been tamed'.

The advice you'll get on here is excellent as there are some very knowledgeable owners with lot's of Cerb ownership experience.

Hello once again. A rather important development has occured in the continiuing saga of my induction set up. It turns out that the "short induction set up that my garage had ordered turns out to be a uprated standard set!! Hence the low price I quoted earlier. This happened due to a missunderstanding somewhere along the line between the garage and suppliers. I now was faced with purchasing a full set of standard pipes when I only wanted 2 or indeed be putting the money towards the short kit. My garage cant send the pipes back so they offred to sell them via e-bay. This was avoided by them being extremely fair about the whole situation and have absorbed almost 50% of the cost of the new pipes. Therefore although I do not have the modification work done I am not going to be financially strained or have the problem as outlined originaly (re-map requirements).
I have however now allowed myself to dream of more ponies that are obviously there to be released. So I shall be saving my pennies and delivering my car to be fitted with short kit and mapped all at the same time!!!
Please note the induction pipes purchased were not bought from ACT and it was not a missunderstanding involving them or raceproved.
Many thanks to Tim at ACT and Jules at racecraft for all there advice and time. I dare say you will be getting some of my money before the summers up!!
Thanks also to my garage Paul stabler(01325367855) who has been very helpful and a pleasure to deal with and continiues to care for my TVR to the highest standards. If your in the North you wont go far wrong with your servicing or repair needs with Paul and all at a very competitive rates.

Neally £900 for JUST a remap, and there was me thinking having work done and then have a remap on the skyline at around £650 a time was over the topI have been told by one company they can supply a "safe" chip by post to fit to the ecu to get me going.

Jules,
I have the 4.5 with no remap and short induction.
I have the Joo Cooling chip fitted, does this help on this.
I have just been on to Jason at TVR Power, they do a generic chip that they have developed from all the cars they have had on the rolling road with the short induction. One chip on order!!
Cheers
Martin.
