Then you should be just fine with the TBE ROM.

 

Tried out the new basemap and coming from the beta, the car feels even better. The shifting is snappier in the 1-2 thus far and overall it just feels more responsive and powerful. I'm looking forward to doing some logging tonight and sharing.

Im on 93 octane Boostpill + TBE + AEM. I also have a full X IC setup with hardpipes and a GFB BPV 100% recirc.

The only issue I had with the beta was the tap method for launching would almost always kick me out of gear, it didn't seem to be from heat, but rather maybe too much tq. I haven't tried this final 2.7 launching.

 

Guys using the AEM maps, if possible, please give me a log of your fuel trims after a day or so of driving. Thanks.

 

Ran V2.7 on the stock pill (need to get gauges before doing any more performance upgrades), and just the shifting enhancements alone are fantastic. Put the car through it's paces in all transmission modes, no hiccups at all. The rough "shift shock" is gone in Sport, the 1-2 gear rev hang barely happened... wow.

Thank you Bryan and Rich for all the hard work going into this!

 

Will do. Want all types of driving or just 3rd gear pulls?

 

Just log all fuel trims for me after a day or so of varied driving. Doesn't matter, you can log it at idle.

If you have a wideband, a 3rd gear WOT pull with logged AFR would be nice too.

 

So i would be able to run v27+tbe with only hfc as long as I have at least evo x fmic?

 

I'll see if I can do that this weekend for you. Always willing to help make these basemaps better!

 

I'll just make this statement right now so people don't have to keep asking the same question.

The TBE basemap is for:

That said, I ran a much more aggressive tune then the TBE basemap on my personal RA with just a test pipe and FMIC for awhile with no issues. So if you really want to try it out, it is use at your own risk.

Do as I say, not as I do.

 

Hey bryan out of curiosity, any reason to why the boost load offset is set to 0?

 

Well spotted.

Using "traditional" load-based boost control, you'd have a Boost Control Load Offset value in there, like 80, or 120, or whatever. So... a Load constant.

Using patched "psi-based boost control", that item becomes Atmospheric Boost, and is rescaled/redeployed as a base atmospheric pressure constant, like 14.3 or 14.7. So... a psi constant.

But with uber-awesome-mega-edition RAX Patch (ahem), there's additional code added to the ROM that steps in if that item is set to 0. It then feeds in a dynamic "atmospheric pressure" value by way of the baro sensor, so Atmospheric Boost is kept in line with measured air pressure. So... a psi value that's dependent on your altitude.

v27... RAX Patch inside.

Oh Rich how I've missed your humor. Fell free to stop by and say "hi".
On a more technical front, any insight into the choice for the LBF map? Typical assumption is +1 full point for all Open Loop parts. But this is +.5 point for 200+ load and identical matching for everything else? Better shifting characteristics this way?

 

Some really cool stuff happening here. This is why I love this car. Not because it's fast, but because it's smart. The community around this vehicle is amazing, and the creativity and attention to detail is awesome. Who needs a beefy V8 when you have a well tuned 4 cylinder.

 

I would, but I'm busy freezing my butt off on the south west coast of England this week.

I actually hired a car and drove to the nearest Ralliart dealer... to see if they could pull up part numbers for the fabled Euro spec from-factory RA oil cooler assembly. What a tragic I am...

No luck yet. Seems they can't do much without the VIN of a car that originally came with one. Of course, if we could mobilise the RA community, track down a Euro owner with that very item, we'd be home and hosed. Factory-fit oil coolers for all...!

Am I getting off topic? I am, aren't I. Sorry.

Owwwww, great idea. Who was that one guy from Finland (Sweden?) who owned a shop and was building a WW RA strictly for track competition?
