savage bulldogs Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Did you followed the running in instructions suggested by the engine builder ? Unless you're scoob was already a cosworth version I would have assumed that the compression ratio wauld have changed slightly, due to the different bowl on the cossie piston crown .admittedly this should have been calculated by the engineer and head gasket size adjusted accordingly. I am surprised that you haven't been advised to have a remap by the engineer . I would at least get it checked out on a rolling road and preferably get a map tweek for piece of mind .

Tlag Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Yeah, too many mods there not to get it remapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheech Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 It had remap before the work had been done when I bought her, any good cheap remapping out there that have been tryed and tested always apprehensive when it comes to messing with the brain of my Scooby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tlag Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Not familer with anyone to the north to be honest. I'm sure someone will suggest someone soon though. What ecu do you have? If it's ecutec for example, you could just google ecutec mappers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash007ks Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 You must get the remap done once its bed it as the compressions will have changed, i would suggest you do that ASAP or risk kissing thos pistons goodbye. Ive got to run it in for 1k miles and then immediately take it for a remap as it will be running lean once the actuator is reconnected.
