Ford Sierra and Escort Rs Cosworth Live Mapping.
The standard Ford Sierra and Escort Rs Cosworth using Weber L1, L6, L8 or P8 management can be recalibrated live using our state of the art ECU emulation hardware. This is known as live remapping.
Live mapping is a form of engine calibration that is done whilst the vehicle is in motion with the engine being used properly. This is the ultimate form of remapping and the choice of most serious tuners out there. It is NOT the same as Custom mapping where a tuner keeps trying different chips until he is happy with the results. That is far inferior to doing it live.
For those of you running an aftermarket ECU such as Autronic, Motec, AEM, Pectel or similar you will also have the facility to recalibrate the ECU in real time and we offer this facility on most aftermarket engine management systems and pride ourselves in turning out recalibrated systems that run as good as, if not better in some cases than the original car ran from the factory.
The Cost?
Remapping prices vary from tune to tune as its very ECU and engine hardware dependant so its always best to give us a call and discuss your Rs Cosworth remapping options. Traditional we used to ask for the vehicle for a full week to ensure all cold run maps and tables were also optimised, but as our stock of base maps have improved over the years we find that 90% of vehicles run fine after live mapping the main fuel, spark and boost tables. The cost to do this for a full week is still £500 all in.
However - in general we can live map your Cosworth in one day, primarily on the dyno at the cost of £350 all in, including graphs and it will run and drive fine when cold
If you find you're not quite happy with the running performance when cold, you could still bring it back at a later date for us to tweak the cold maps over a few days cold starts to optimise the tune, paying only the difference, which is £150.
Don't forget that while your having a live remap we could also add in extra features such as Anti lag, closed loop, Launch Control or maybe even Wasted Spark ignition.
