just had a r-tech remap

[dan930]

Dan, yes, all to do with the location of this silicon hose I think, although way above my head, lol! U mite want to contact Dave at BCS, see exactly what he says, but note he is now aware of this issue as Nick suggested...

I called Dave this morning & he is sending out the relocation kits as soon as he gets them in..he will also supply a connector as our silicone pipe won't be long enough to connect to the top of the engine

Oh rite, cheers, I am so hoping it sorts our issue mate!? :-o

The car Was F##king fast before the pipe fell off,still quick but nowhere as quick as the first mapping session

[gigolo456]

Thats wat im thinking! As it stands, im loving the power from the Stage 2 and the Powervalve, so any improvement on this will only have me frothing, lol!!!

I had the powervalve fitted on the 7th aug (early in the morning) up at haydock, then went straight down to R-tech for the mapping...nick suggested I take a test drive after the mapping..what can I say..it's like the car is on steroids...F##king mental....all was happy with a big grin on my face until I had about 20miles from home & no boost..called r-tech straight away and there told me to go bk but it was too late so I ended up going bk on the 9th and we found that the silicone pipe has come off from the bk box..

[gigolo456]

Is this silicon pipe bout left middle under car? Touch wood, I havent had any pipes or hoses come off! :-o

it's hard to explain mate...didn't you see your powervalve getting fitted at bcs??nick fitted a jubilee clip to secure it in the end..

[gigolo456]

Dan, to be honest, no, i left the car with Dave, then went into town for a few hours, then came back and drove off so-to-speak! Even after Nick fitted this clip, did the hose then come off again??

TOUCHWOOD,it hasn't come off yet...but I still look under the car every now & again

[gigolo456]

yes indeed, fingers crossed, what sort of torque in lbs you getting at the moment then?

[dan930]

I totally forgot what nick told me,at the back of my head I think it's around 295-305lbft.... & how much bhp&lbft u running mate?

[gigolo456]

257 bhp, and 301 lbs torque. With yr Ed 30, id expect yr torque, once sorted, to be higer than that! :-o

Thats one reason why i steered away from the power valve and had a straight through BCS 3inch tbe fitted to my car. Simple is simple does! If I hadnt already got a Shark map on my car I would have gone to Rtech.

[gigolo456]

Sorry to ask but what exactly do you mean by 'thats why I steered away from the Powervalve'?

[56OctyVRS]

I always think when you have fancy valves there is more to go wrong with them. I can see the point behind them as people want a noisy exhaust all the time. But the BCS systems as standard arent really that noisy off boost or indeed on boost.
