This is why datalogs are crucial!!
We had this lovely Cupra 300 in for a huge overhaul, we helped with fitting a downpipe, powerflex dog bone mount, superpro bottom arms, haldex service, drop links and then some custom road ecu and tcu tuning 😎
We split this over 2 days, day 1 was all the work on our ramp carried out by our experienced techs Andy & James
Day 2 was a full dedicated day for custom road tuning, and this is why it’s super important to data log!
With stock power health checks passed and dynod to set a baseline, we then chucked our base stage 2 file on which has been developed for years for many EA888’s, but as you can see in one of our screen shots, the car we seriously overboosting!!! Now this happens every now and then, you can do things that have proven to work many times in the past, but an occasion will occur where something unexpected happens, this car reacted differently and was overboosting by quite the margin over our setpoint request.
Now don’t get me wrong, it felt super rapid! But that’s not what we’re asking the car to do, and at the same time due to the overboost, the hpfp is struggling to keep up aswell. This is just one of the things that happen when tuning blindly, and without datalogs for us to quickly tweak and rectify the issue, I wouldn’t be happy allowing a car leave like that!
A quick PUT adjustment and the boost is back under control and listening to our setpoint! After a few more tweaks we got it dialled in, running happy and most importantly safely on our stage 1 tune! Achieving a strong 377 bhp and bags of torque! 521 NM, the customer actually came back after 5 minutes of picking up to give us some great feedback about how it felt!
Anyway, the car has now been back for stage 2 tuning! So follow up post coming up shortly!
