Ecutek Tuning for BPB's and Header?

[BenMMellor]

Seems to be a few people on here who have done some tuing (OFT, EcuTek) with the Crawford BPB's and other mods on here to hunt down a little more power from these.


I spend most of my driving around town and motorways (UK) so my revs use is between 2k RPM and upto 5>6k RPM on a hard acceleration. It's rare that at take it to the redline or way over 7k RPM.


I've got some BPB's to fit and also a cat free header (manifold) along with a remap.


I know the header will free up a lot of hp and torque, but combuned with the BPB's I'm hoping for a little extra on top of just changing the header and remap due to the supposed enhancements of the BPB's.


I know that the BPB's lower the top RPM a little but from the dyno charts I've seen, the benefits they bring will sit right in the RPM range I use everyday.



When I get the remap done, what fields should I be getting the tuner to look at in particular to get the most from the BPB's? I did see a post about this but can't find it again.....

The tuner will know or they aren't worth going to The BPB just change the VE. Simple cam timing changes and that should pretty much be it.

Thought that would be the case - one of the parameters I remember seeing was ignition and cam timing.



It'll be Tuning Developments doing the mapping so know they will squeeze as much as they safely can as they know the mapping inside out.



Aiming to get as much as I can from an NA map with their manifold and overpipe (2nd hand snaffle).
