Rolling road mapping session booked for 01/03/2018. What will she make on the rollers?

Going to go to Emerald M3D Ltd – Unit 6 Norwich Rd Industrial Estate, Watton, Norfolk IP25 6DR.

They currently do up to three maps for triple map-switching at a flat rate of £375+vat – £450.

The maps can be set up for full power/race, economy, MoT, alternative fuel/driver/limited or as an immobiliser with no fuel above idle.

Hmmm……

Full power
Economy
?

I am hoping they can wire their Emerald ECU and OBD breakout lead swhich I purchased recently, so I can run an OBD2 WiFi dongle to the ECU to run diagnostics and or Harry’s Laptimer (see my entry from 16/12/2017 for more information).

The spec of the engine is an EU2 1.6 K Series with the Caterham Super Sport conversion (which apparently produces 138 bhp, but thought to be an optimistic figure by the likes of Dave Andrews)

Pros:

42mm DTH TB’s with variable length inlet trumpets.
ITG panel filter (as opposed to airbox).
4-2-1 Exhaust By Design manifold and exhaust.
Vernier pulleys fitted and timed by Dave Andrews.

Cons:

Std Rover bottom end which apparently requires the (Caterham Super Sport) 7,600 rev limit to be reduced slightly to maximise engine longevity. Figure of 7,000 to 7,200 has been suggested and I will take Emerald’s advice on the day.

I am hoping for a genuine 150bhp, which would put her into what is recognised as a real sweet spot for 7’s…. watch this space!

28/02/2018 – update: Due to the snow which the “Beast from the East” has brought with it the mapping session has been re-scheduled to 09/04/2018. Big thanks to Leoni at Emerald for being so helpful.
