SmalleySTI Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Cheers for the reply. Not wanting to go against the sponsors but heard a lot of good things about JGM on scoobynet. Anyone on here had a map from Simon. Just seen the RR day and put my name down I had my hatch STI done by Simon (JGM) and I am very happy with his work,( I believe he can road map and dyno)I would recommend speaking to a few specialists and make up your own mind as it is your pride and joy at the end of the day Edited February 26, 2014 by SmalleySTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteknuckleride Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I had my hatch STI done by Simon (JGM) and I am very happy with his work,Heard mixed things about JGM while on the subject......(not slagging MODS) Scatty used to use him a lot with his impreza and was pleased with his figuresThen I've heard others not so happyGuess that's going to be true of all mappers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Stealth- Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Ring the first guy who mapped and ask him what kind of map it has on it already.i.e. is it an open source map or a proper ECUtek licensed map.If the previous person has paid for the license, it will save you £250 already and you can just get a tweak from scoobyclinic for example.You can still what ever mapper you want, but I'd recommend hiring a rolling road somewhere and getting it mapped on that rather than the road.

Strell Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Thanks again for the comments.Will speak to Andy Carr to see what map is on it. I think its an open source map but will check.Api's mapper is really ill and they are trying a new one out so going to be 3 weeks or so before they can fit it in grrrrWill give scooby clinic a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 In fairness I don't think Area 52 have eitherIt might be a good idea to start a technical thread to discuss your engine/mapping requirements. Or better still a project thread that you can update as you go along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strell Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hiya Stell, welcome to M-SOC, Hope to see yo and your Scoob at a our local meet.....do you think you`ll be attending? Which meet is that? I am down in London this weekend but am heading over to Scooby clinic for the RR meet In fairness I don't think Area 52 have eitherIt might be a good idea to start a technical thread to discuss your engine/mapping requirements.

Don't want to start a project thread those things cost money hahaBut yeah should put up a different thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Hi,to be fair I have only just seen this thread, its title didn’t lend itself to mapping queries and I just popped on to say hi when I find there are mapping questions.Ironically all the people who recommend API don’t realise that its our mapper, Pat herborn, who goes to API on Wednesdays to do Dave’s mapping, true Dave occasionally uses Bob Rawle, and he has some new guy he is trying out due to Pat having been a bit ill recently, although Pat is here everyday, mapping a 330 s on the dyno as I type, its the driving from Chesterfield to API in Warwick that’s the problem as Pat is suffering from an ear infection that causes dizyness so refuses to drive very far for now.Pat is also the owner and developer of the Syvecs ecu which is one serious bit of kit, so he does know his stuff !!The only way to map is on a dyno then sign off the car on the road, best of both worlds with graphs of BHP, Torque, AFR and boost and the final little tweaks done on the road.CheersKev, scoobyclinic.P.S. did you PM me as I don’t recall, if so did I reply, get so many these days hard to keep track.

Strell Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Sorry Kev. Didn't mean a bad word by what I said and it was my mistake as I PMd the other account that was in your forum. I appreciate how busy everyone gets. Could you pm me a price for a map please?ThanksJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hino need to apologise, thought I hadn’t seen a PM as I always reply to them,Mapping ......ecu tec re maps are £550.00 + vat = £660.00 in total.The reason the re map is £550.00 is that the first map needs a licence applying to the ecu which is £200.00 and is included in the £550.00, once done any future upgrades needing map adjustments are from £150.00 to a max of £350.00Please make sure that you run the car on V power or tescos 99 as other fuels are not good enough for your thorough bred race horse, remember feed it good corn and it will perform, feed it rubbish it will get flabby, stop performing and eventually fall ill.Also in these cases we prefer to dyno the car before we carry out any upgrades, this shows us where we are starting from.All mapping carried out on our dyno with printouts of fuelling, boost, BHP and torque, cars are then signed off with a road testThere you go, no need for a PMCheersKev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strell Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I quite like the fact or having switchable maps with the ecutek.But do have to wonder if it warrants the extra £300 or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Just fix a block of wood under the loud pedal. Absolutely no reason to have two boost settings. I like the self regulating analogue o - 100% boost setting that comes free with every map Or in other words your right foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
