Good Afternoon,
Posted this on seloc also so apologies if youve already read...
Recently had quite abit of engine work carried out on the car (s1 exige k series) and engine has been dyno'd to 230bhp and 160lbs torque through scholar / hanger 111.
Im currently running a standard base map on the emerald to run it in to identify flat spots etc and then off to emerald for a proper map to be uploaded.
Now, although the car is very quick (mostly in the top rev range at present), i dont think its anywhere near the power its capable of yet with the base map currently running.
Has anyone else run a base map then gone to emerald for a remap? Is there a significant difference in power delivery once emerald get their hands on it compared to what a base map will deliver?!?
Your thoughts are much appreciated...

Not speaking from experience, BUT, I would imagine that a trip to Emerald will see Mr Walker work his magic to ensure that you get the best delivery of power and torque across the rev range with what you have.
From your SELOC post it's clear that you've invested heavily in this build, so best of luck with getting it all set-up nicely. Should be one of the most sorted K-series cars out there

whats the spec of the engine - then we can advise if thats a typical output for it ?
in my own experience, when running an EMerald/TT engined car and having it remapped from the base map to suit my own exhaust arrangement etc then the gains are not huge - like 3-5%...but the torque and power delivery are perfect...so its definately worthwhile doing

Really appreciate your responses chaps... Engine mods are on my profile page. Engine is NA at present... Would love a SC but i really dont think the K series could handle it lol and i havent enough at the moment to do a honda sc conversion although that would be a dream come true!!in my own experience, when running an EMerald/TT engined car and having it remapped from the base map to suit my own exhaust arrangement etc then the gains are not huge - like 3-5%...but the torque and power delivery are perfect...so its definately worthwhile doing
Ideally its the torque increases i want in the lower rpm band if possible. I know you two are very knowledgeable with this kind of thing, jhust wanted to know really if youve heard if this was possible to do...
I've had mine done at Emerald - mine was supplied with a basic map by DVA which was about 95% correct for my car. Emerald pretty much just fined tuned it from there, dialled a load of overfuelling out. Car ran more smoothly than before with a great linear power curve. Very worthwhile!
well I think the most powerful, fully sorted 1.9L Ks Ive heard of are doing 250bhp ish...but I wouldnt want to run it in that trim for long - its the revs that kill them.
Id go for something like 230bhp, keep the revs to 8000rpm and ask Dave to give as much torque/wide powerband as possible
if you rev to 8500 then its not going to last you very long
....I take it you have a big oil cooler on there !

I believe its been dyno'd to 230bhp ish with 160lbs torque. more torque over a wider power band is what im looking for. If dave can do that then im laughing!!Id go for something like 230bhp, keep the revs to 8000rpm and ask Dave to give as much torque/wide powerband as possible
if you rev to 8500 then its not going to last you very long
....I take it you have a big oil cooler on there !I wasnt aware the rev limiter went upto 8500 rpm? Only states 8000 on my stack and i generally dont go above 7000 to be safe...
Only mods ive made with regards to oil are a baffled sump and a remote thermostat for cooling, your going to tell me thats not good enough now arnt you, oh dear...

Sounds promising
