[baz-r]

took my car to tipton garage yesterday for a session on the rollers.

Steve Miles preps and tunes cars for the st marys trophy at goodwood revival and luckly is only 13 miles from where i live and squeezed me in on a rain free day.
me and steve there made a bit of a joint effort and had it tuned in only a bit over an hour (starting from my own map) as steve was nice enough to let me tune on my laptop while he run the rollers controls and made a few pointers.
started with 159bhp with my homebrew map set by feel and sound on the road and steve pointed out "theres not much wrong with that is there". gains where made 3-4000 and 6500-7200 with a bit more advance and a tiny bit leaner, finished with 165.1bhp@7155rpm and 129.1lb/ft@5985rpm.
not bad from a 1800 mk1 zetec engine that started with 105bhp 20 years ago in a fiesta xr2i.
after we got the full throttle runs quickly sorted we tweeked every part throttle load site for advance and afr to get better mpg's
im very happy with the curves nice and linier
