One of the latest mods I have done to may car is a-VTec controller. The Controller is as they put it, A pig-back computer for the E.C.U. This allows you to change the vtec emgagement point, Which is usually 5100rpm. You change this from 3100rpm to 7000rpm, in stages of 100rpms. The vtec engagement point is where the vtec engine get most of its power.

The controller also allows you the change the air/ fuel mixture, so the car can have a rich mixture or a lean mixture depending on how you want your can to run i.e better acceleration or better fuel encomomy.



The unit also has a monitoring part to it, This allows you to monitor 1, 2, 3 or 4 channels in the car. These can be manifold intake pressure, throttle postion, engine rpm, air correction factor, Vtec point from the ECU, Vtec point from the controller, cam angle ( on DOHC engines) and battery voltage. These can be displayed in a number of ways. One is like the second picture, this is displaying 4 channels, its displaying it in a numerical format. Other ways are a graph, inwhich each channel has a different line. Another way is in a dial format and last a random format.

The monitoring display can changed while driving, but the setting part has to be done with the engine off, just running off the battery. Once set the battery should be switched off and then the car restarted. This will then start the car with the new setting.

One mint bit of kit ther mate! lookin fab

nice one mav lookin swell matey your motor is really coming on now keep up the good work fella

Here is a couple of pics from the charity car wash on sunday. My car is almost ready for the Nationals. No more mods to be done before we go, just a bit of touch up work on the interior and a bit on the exterior. What does everyone think.

Lookin spot on mate. I do prefer the standard mirrors to ya M3 ones.
I know you don't wanna spend anymore money but i reckon that twin exhausts would suit your car so well.

Here is a couple of pics from the Max power + Peco rolling road day. Also there is the graph from the rolling road test on my car. The graph show a Max power of 107.2 Bhp at the wheels, this works out to be 130.2 Bhp at the fly-wheel. The car was 114.0 Bhp at the fly-wheel (as standard).







Thanks to Meesh for the pics and Webmaster for the graph.

More pics from the rolling Road day at Peco.

You power is similar to mine i think

From the Main Leauge Tables
Dated 7th May 2005 Click Me

How Close 1 BHP

The Torque would be intresting to see.

The torque at the time of the rolling road was 93.7ft-lbs at about 5500rpm. But it was steady most of the time at 86-87ft-lbs

Took these pictures the other day so i thought i would host them











Found this old one also, what a differance to what it is today......

Cheers scooby, I have not seen a standard , or almost standard pic of my car in ages. As you see from the second last pic, I have fitted new wheels, this was due to a little accident. I got a good deal on them. So what does everyone think of the new wheels and the difference in the car from about 18 months ago. I says this, because it is 2 years to the day I brought the car and start to go to meets down at the rock.

what size are those new wheels

17's matey

Really liked your old wheels Mav, but I gotta say, top trumps on picken theose new ones mate, they really do suit the car
