Smoke After remap!!!

[Smee]

had the 160 cupra tdi remapped yesterday... fantastic except one thing SHE SMOKES more that a 2 dollar hooker

0 - 3400 rpm no smoke.. then its starts to kick in at 3500rpm not to bad but it gets worse as the revs get higher... 5th gear reving to 4500 rpm and the car behind is pretty hard to see... am i smoking too much?

Smee

p.s was a p-torque remap.

hhmm, does sound a bit wiered, mine does smoke slightly higher up the revs, towards 4k then a bit afterwards. Black smoke means its overfueling, so they may need to tweak the boost slightly and the mapping.

By the way, mine is running upwards of 25psi most of the time, so alot more than what your will be i should think, when i first had my hybrid on it smoked like a real ****, thick black smoke, and like you say, so thick that you cant see the car behind. Take it back mate, and get them to tweak it.

Oh, and i know that 4500 rpm in 5th gear is well in access of 120 mph, so i hope you did it on a private road

 

[Smee]

is it lol i never look at speedo road and revs lol

spoken to will at p-torque said wat u said.. over fueling... said pop in and he will adjust... so another trip to him next week i think

cupra only does 120 in 5th as far as i remember (on a private runway) hope you get it sorted .and remember not to plant it in a high gear at low revs or you will wreack your clutch

mine smokes, but thats half the fun i thought

My Passat seems to vary from one day to the next, sometimes it's really smoky, others it's soot-free.
Currently it's running really cleanly - still haven't figured out what causes the variation

Hi Guys

Some smoke is normal, and yes it can vary, mainly due to climate/temperature changes.

Smee's is smoking too much at the moment by the sounds of things. The fuel needs trimming slightly, as Smee requested a smoke free map lower in the rev range, but so that it just drove sweetly around town, but then wanted some more aggressive power further up the scale.

We acheived this, but the calulation for fuel to air need to be adjusted slightly at the top end of the revs when the engine is under load.

I had to laugh, he reported the smoking to me after racing Porsche if I remember correctly!!

GET some fat rally clips replace all your jubilee clips and use millers power plus...get no smoke on mine now.

 

[Smee]

do wat redcupratdi??? i have no idea wat ur on about lol

yea thats right will... that was a boxster.... had him... the 911 turbo is where i came stuck... to tell the truth mate like said on here the smoke is there some days and not others... 4500 rpm tho smoke no matter what... be good to see u agian on friday.. get that little bit of smoke of the top end... (do u want to take it a rolling road to get a print out as my local guy is busy for AGES)

i got a p-torque remap, mine smokes like a bitch when pulling away in 1st, then its not too bad, although on somedays it will smoke loads, and others it wont, also depends on what fuel you are using.

 

[Smee]

total fuel... i cant complain to much it is free lol

no smoke in first but then i never go to 4500 in first.. only ever seen smoke in 3rd 4th and 5th.. never gone nuts in 6th lol

Basically, you'll get some smoking when loading the engine. Its perfectly normal after a re-map.

Once the turbo is up to speed, it pulls enough air in to burn the fuel. So this means.....

a) When you boot it the turbo needs a few seconds to spin up

b) At the top end, like Smees, the turbo boost is backed right off to avoid problems, so there is less air being pulled in

You should find your Ibiza's will go very well once I have mapped them though

 

[redcupratdi]

honestly take off your front bumper and check for loose jubilee clamps some of them will be not tightened fully!

you should be getting enough air to mix with fuel properly without it smoking all the time..imo.

also the millers power plus additive worked wonders on my engine.

 

[redcupratdi]

5th gear reving to 4500 rpm and the car behind is pretty hard to see... am i smoking too much?

just read again and yes! mine doesn't smoke expect when booting from cruising.

 

[Sisson]

My peak power is at 3850revs so its pointless to go over 4k revs anyway...

But on some days i can see mine smoking when on full throttle and others its fine...

 

[Smee]

red (im calling u red from now onredcupratdi) u live fairly local i have no idea what ur on about??

u can look for me if u like

its drives like a dream will.. infact i have done ur review just waiting till after my visit to have it tweaked to post ...

Smee

 

[sssstew]

finally got it done then Hope your happy after the tweak.

red is on about all the clips that attach the intercooler (boost) pipes to each section, they tend to be a bit crap and allow boost leaks, better clips hold them firmly.

 

[muddyboots]

Most of the pipes on my Ibiza dn now the Passat, use the horseshoe-type clips to lock the pipe joints together.
How do you replace those with jubilee clips

 

[sssstew]

you need to get them off with a big set of mole grips, or theres a special tool i beleive.
