robtup Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I have just had a engine and turbo rebuild costing an arm and leg so I want to get the most I can out of it but keep it safe as possible just wondering who else is running syvecs wots your experience with it should I be patient and wait for one to come along or just buy a cheaper alternative thanks rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davep Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Future proof rob I had a syvecs fitted and mapped by Ryan made a difference and I was running bpu mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT RR Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Worth it IMO, modernising the car and an array of safety features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 If you have the cash spare to do it then I think there are huge advantages to be had. Worth it is all relative as it's a HUGE outlay for not a lot in regards to power etc. The ECU has so many tricks up its sleeve though and loads of new toys can be added both making the car more entertaining and safer at the same time.

That sounds interesting? Would you mind elaborating for the uninitiated. Does it give you obd2 monitoring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 That sounds interesting? Would you mind elaborating for the uninitiated. Does it give you obd2 monitoring? I'd say it's better than OBD2. It gives you full monitoring via your laptop over the lan connection. Can be fully tweaked, monitored, mapped, configured, etc, etc, etc. There's also head up display options where you can have custom screens showing all manner of diagnostic information.

robtup Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Future proof rob I had a syvecs fitted and mapped by Ryan made a difference and I was running bpu mods I was told that stand alone ecu's don't cope to well with the oem set up is this not true ?

Nic Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 A lot of money for what will be moderate gains, probably best to speak to someone that maps them as the sequential transition may be difficult to map for. A piggyback ECU such as the Emanage Ultimate would be a lot cheaper and would allow the stock ECU map to be tweaked.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I run syvecs on my tt set up aswell in ttc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inazone Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I run syvecs on my tt set up aswell in ttc Can you run it in sequential mode? Again can you get obd2 type information from this ecu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Can you run it in sequential mode? Again can you get obd2 type information from this ecu? Yeah I'm assuming you can run it in sequential mode, mine was running ttc before so kept it like that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Can you run it in sequential mode? Again can you get obd2 type information from this ecu? What do you class as OBD2 information? I'm guessing my answer wasn't clear enough for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inazone Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 What do you class as OBD2 information? I'm guessing my answer wasn't clear enough for you? Sorry, I was referring to the emanage ecu this time. The reason I ask is because I'm interested in the gauges that can tap into the information, rather than having loads of different modules measuring different things.

Nic Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I ran mine in TTC mapped with an eManage blue for a few years, it was only when I did the single turbo conversion I realised just how EXTREMELY laggy TTC is, I'd never advocate it now. If I was doing it again I'd keep the sequential BPU stock turbo setup and use an eManage Ultimate to eek out a bit of extra performance. I'd only invest in a full standalone ECU if money was no object or if going the single turbo route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but it's the safety features of the syvecs that's appealing to me but don't really want tcc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I did it and had it mapped to TTC. Ran 455bhp. So worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yea but it's the safety features of the syvecs that's appealing to me but don't really want tcc That's why I'd talk to a mapper first, the stock ECU was developed to handle the sequential transition under all circumstances, I am certainly no expert but TTC or a single turbo will be a lot easier to map for. The stock ECU has proved on many cars that it can safely handle BPU performance levels and there are also many cars running a piggyback ECU to tweak the fuelling and ignition to give a little extra.

a98pmalcolm Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I went TTC on stock ECU and hated it. When I had syvecs Ryan insisted to go TTC I was like " nope its rubbish" but he convinced to at least try it as it feels great when its mapped... He was not wrong..

j_jza80 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Presumably using a variation on the ettc modification, you could have the syvecs switch between parallel and sequential turbo operation, tied to suitable maps? That would be great, and would make the purchase of syvecs more worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I dont think that would be doable. But i could be wrong. Have TTC mapped on syvecs made it feel like a small single turbo lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazuk Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Unless your planning on going single in the future I would not bother cost me 3.5k mapped all sensors etc are you really going to warrant that on bpu . If your worried about failsafe Aem do a failsafe gauge http://www.aemelectronics.com/?q=products/gauges/failsafe-gauges/wideband-failsafe-gauge very neat bit of kit full gui interface you can set trips using outputs so it can retard the timing for overboost/ running lean . It will even pull back the boost on the fly if your running a ebc. Oil pressure and fuel pressure go for a spa dual gauge with has an alarm function and output for light / wire into stock hazard so it flashes Edited February 1, 2016 by chazuk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 So who has a Syvecs totally replacing the stock ECU running stock twin turbos sequentially? Also, who has the above on a VVTi automatic running the gearbox and fly by wire throttle AS WELL? I am shortly to install a Syvecs that the customer hopes will do all this, but I am yet to hear of anyone running this complex configuration.
