Hiya.
The Eaton Supercharger on the 1.8 ADL, spun at the derised rpm to produce the aircharge for target torque developemt, will not produce 240bhp peak or "100" bhp more than STD. We should not be focusing on BHP figures as they are not a mesurement of drivability. I expect than on this mission the car to produce upto 175-180lbft of torque (VR6 torque held for longer) from 4000rpm to 5700rpm (ABF inlet cam) and 70% of this availabe from 2500rpm and 80% available at where the VEs of the engine starts to drop off. If on ADL inlet cam this would be around 6200rpm on a ABF inlet this is near 6700rpm.
As Chris has drivien in N7NDOs MS ABF'd MK2 he should expect a much more flexable drive than this already optimised car which has a n/a torque range (85% and greater) of 3000-6100rpm.
MS PCM is a DIY ECU and can be had from Glen's Garage or DIYAuto as a kit of components. Included with the order is a RS autosport 10 ft labelled loom which has to be integrated to your vehicles electrical system and to the engine.
In addition to purchasing the BOM, you have to pay for shipping and customs chagres and parcel force fees. You can then choose to assemble and test yourself or someone like myself can build/simulate plus modify to run on a Hall sensor dizzy or your cranksensor (ABF/ 20vT engines) and use in wasted spark. The complete ecu is ready to be installed.
MS is as good as the person mapping it just as it is with DTA, Emerald, Apex-i Power FC, Bosch ME7 etc. Unlike the above this ecu and its developent can be followed by anyone if he/she logs on to
www.msefi.com.
This is ecu is very basic in its strategy and set-up especially when one compares it to some of the Bosch MED17 systems I happen to work with daily. But it does allow sufficent access to your engines control parameters to allow for adding forced induction ITBs or any ohter hardware mods to achieve more USER Desired performance for a fraction of the price of more expensive PCMs on the market.
I and others have documented various builds like these during the years and you can see these on ED38 or CGTi. So its no secret.
Anyone can do this if you got the skills.
Hopes this clears up any confusion from this exercise.
