K-tec racing EPROM mapping!!!

I was just messing around with ktec on Facebook and they say that they have all the gear for EPROM mapping the 21. I'm just waiting for them to get back with prices
 
Further to this they would like a 21 in for a day or 2 to gather data. No mention of ????s yet!! Really need to get my whip taxed and tested ha
 
Mmmmmmm, from what I know of k-tec, which is very little I must add, I'm not sure I would trust there mapper. I have heard a few stories on clio sport. However he might have changed.
 
Any mention of changing the map sensor and adjusting the map to suit? Otherwise it's a bit pointless. I presume it's the same gear they use to re map the f7r for turbo conversions so guess price would be similar.
 
I was under the impression henk was/is supplying some tuners with boxes that are used to flash the ecu's, use once only. They can't be used for live mapping or tweaking to suit the specific car/setup tho so they may be using something else?
 
There was no mention of any real detail. They just said that they are able to map the standard ecu and would be happy to offer there services. I think for alot of owners this could be a far cheaper alternative to mapping then going to see henk.
They said they would like a 21 in for a day or 2 to sort out some data and that's as far as we got.
 
Personally I'd want some more details as to what they can do, and mainly price and what happens if it goes wrong. I'm sure they would do it safely but most run different setups so they would have to be a unique map each time.

Ktec are 10 minutes from my house.....if they wanted to have a look i'd be happy to pop DAZ down.....let me know if they're serious...
 
Yes, i've heard that before - i know that Mr Dips had issues @ Henks....thanks Dave....

he did, but we fixed it.... Dip should have a remapped ecu now, if not anyday...


As the others have said be careful... My experience of some of the well known companies so far is that their workmanship has been shoddy! Thats probabl because they dont know the 21 well enough IMO....
 
Like Jon they are only 15-20 drive from me, might plonk on the standard ECU see whats what?

I'd be interested to learn on this technique of mapping across the channel. Doesn't sound like a 'Custom map', more like a 'Best guess map'. I'd hope Dips will be asking for some assurance that the rebuild cost would be covered if something went wrong.
I may sound critical, but i'm sure you'll see my point :o)
