Base Map for 1800 ZETEC wanted for Megasquirt
Chris_G - 6/4/06 at 11:48 AM

Has anyone got a base map and also a list of constant settings for a Zetec 1.8 on 130 spec cams?
I am using GSXR TB's but ST170 injectors but if someone has got a map that is close then it would at least help me get going.

Cheers
Chris

Quite honestly you don't need one.
I was originally going down this route but you soon find that it is extreemly unlikely that anyone has exactly the same setup as you so their map is actually worse than the one that MT will generate for you. If you give it accurate info regarding your setup.
The key word here is accurate. Be realistic with predicted Torque and HP and Measure the flow of your injectors.
I got hold of 3 seperate maps 2 from the UK and one from the States. All were supposedly for a 130PS Zetec. None would run my setup as well as the base map.
You're going to have to tune it, so start from scratch would be my advice based on experience so far.
Having said that I am still very much a MegaSquirt newbie.
I have spent the morning reading, reading & reading more and have now written, off line, what I hope will be an acceptable timing map.
I am hoping to try it later today.
By the way are you using a wide band O2 sensor or narrow?
The more I read the more I think I'm going to have to stump up and go wide.
Tuning then effectively becomes just a matter of driving!!!!

BKLOCO,

Bill Shurvintoan loans the widebands for about £20 week? Should be enough to get you up and running and tune above half throttle.

Then when all set - plug the normal Lamda in and off ya go ;-)

Agreed - start your own map!

The 2 litre Zetec map downloads OK

Thanks for that info.
I didn't know that
I may contact him and see what the score is.
Problem is I need to find some private land to drive around on as I'm pre SVA at the moment
