j_jza80 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Well, the mapping hasn't gone ahead For whatever reason, they didn't try to get the car running until yesterday, and then they found it wouldn't start. They couldn't even get it driving until today, at which point they've decided to put the mapping off until Monday. I'm pretty annoyed actually.

Style Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 That's not great Would've thought you'd have been updated with something as major as delaying mapping by 4 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 That sucks mate. Hopefully it will go a little better next time round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 That's not good! Hopefully they'll turn it around quickly for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew K Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Sorry to hear what's happen mate, not good! Did they say what the reason was for the car not starting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Sorry to hear what's happen mate, not good! Did they say what the reason was for the car not starting? Apparently there was an issue with the base map, which I know is just one of those things. Leaving it until the day before mapping before trying to start the car is a little harder to understand.

Leaving it until the day before mapping before trying to start the car is a little harder to understand. I think an issue with a basemap is concerning. It's not like you've done something out of the ordinary. Injectors are known and to be honest, if you know the fuelling you can get it started? Very odd.

Injectors are known and to be honest, if you know the fuelling you can get it started? Very odd. Well actually it is slightly different this one, this is the first car we or anyone's done(as far as I know) with the S6Plus ecu, VVTi, tiptronic and full drive by wire throttle so its not exactly straight forward like the normal Syvecs installs, there isn't a wiring diagram or "off the shelf map" for it put it that way.

Sorry Jason, we were waiting for a wiring diagram from Syvecs, I had one sent to me weeks ago but it was wrong when Darren went to use it. Same with the map, I got that from Syvecs weeks ago ready but again it was wrong. So we had to wait for a new map and wiring info from them and unfortunately these things take time. Its running now though and all set for mapping on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 No worries Paul, it's not your fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Great news this. I can remember installing race logic traction control on my old vvti tiptronic, and had the same problem with wiring diagrams. I hope records are being kept as I reckon quite a few of us are waiting on the success of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Thanks Romain has said that in addition to the regular dyno printout for torque / hp, he'll get me a boostplot. But I can't stress enough that numbers weren't the driving force behind this build. The ethos has always been for a well built, reliable, responsive, every day street car, and by that measure it should be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a traditional supra build of "I want XXXBHP" Lovely car and a refreshing take on a supra. Look forward to seeing the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a traditional supra build of "I want XXXBHP" Lovely car and a refreshing take on a supra. Look forward to seeing the results. Thanks The direction of the build has been decided by considering what I actually use the car for, and in that context, build on the best aspects of each of my previous Supras. The only other major change I'll consider now will be either a Whifbitz or SRD gearbox swap. Not that there's anything wrong with the tiptronic / Paddleshift system I have, it's just a modern gearbox would better exploit the available power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
