Does my bec have to go on a rolling road to help emissions for IVA

Hi there, as title really, I have a power commander fitted but I'm struggling to find someone to work on it and get it mapped, is there any other ways around it to map it for the emissions test.

Engine is 06 R1 injected

Cheers Greg

You don't need to do a rolling road for emissions - the tests are done stationary at idle and fast idle. Find a friendly garage with a gas analyser, and book some time on it. It cost me £10 to get mine on a tester, and then I was able to tweak the map to suit.

If you need a friendly garage/mot location, I can recommend Oak Motors in Eastleigh. Ask to speak to David and say Tim with the kit car sent you! He just did my MOT on the kit, and he does all of my work for the two tin tops...

If you actually want it mapped, then I would suggest PDQ in Slough - very good and made a real difference to my motor when they mapped it.

Cool, I shall bear him in mind, although I'm friendly with a chap in Winchester that I could use his emissions tester but I've already connected my laptop upto the power commander and that's the bit that baffles me

Oh I see - your question is really 'How do I adjust my map using a Power Commander?'....?

Silly question - have you downloaded the instructions from the Power Commander website, and followed the procedure to adjust the map?

I guess that is my question now

No I must admit I've done the typical male thing and not looked at the instructions I shall do this tonight
