Great Car
Hello John,
I have been reading this thread from the start and it looks if you are nearly there !!
Just a wee question about the ECU/engine mapping. Will it be possible to have 2 different set-ups in the car, what I am struggling to say is, will you have a 2 way switch with like a cruising/conserving fuel mode, and then your enemy pulls up alongside you in his car and you switch to all singing and dancing sport mode and leave him standing ? Or do you need the laptop to change
That would be good methinks, cruise along getting high mpg and then at the touch of a switch, when the notion takes you (little boy racer at the lights), change in to race mode.
Eagerly awaiting your reply,
Martin.

Not the ideal conditions for mapping a car that has never been driven on the road since it was built. We took the first few miles very cautious before I was confident that the car would not fall apart and that all the teething problems were resolved. The mapping of the part throttle fuel and spark is in good shape and the wide open throttle fuelling is set a tad rich with the spark set safe. As the car has only done 40 miles and will need a few more mile on the clock before I can release it full potential. The guy sitting the passenger seat at the lap top is Tim. He is a colleague of mine at FMC Dunton. His job is an ignition mapping specialist for all Duratec engines so I have ended up with an engine map that has good part load drivabilty and is tuned safe at high rpm and wide open throttle.
