I am just getting my mini up and going... I have a couple of tuning questions... If the cam mark will not line up with the crank marks, do I have to get a new adj. cam pully? It always seems to be a half tooth off. Some searches say no big deal, but I am not sure...

And fuel pressure... Does the ECU assume a given fuel pressure, and moderate injector's inject time based on this? From this, should I assume if I use a D16Z6 fuel map, I need to have the fuel pressure at Z6, not A6 levels? (Z6 FPR)

Also, I want to chip my PM6, hopefully with Z6 maps and vtec output. Who can do this?

i also would like to know this??

 

you are suppose to use the z6 FPR...at least in most places i read.

 

Thats is what I have read to. Sounds like you get ~10psi more with the Z6 FPR.

With the A6 FPR I will be running lean?

If I am still running a stock pm6 ECU, should I switch FPR to Z6?

If I get Z6 maps chipped in, then I would need to switch for sure to Z6 FPR?

And where is a good place to get a FPR?

Thanks!

Thanks!

 

What bottom end did you use? If it's a 1.5L bottom, then you will need an adjustable cam gear if you don't want to have your timing half a tooth off.

 

I've got the A6 1.6L bottom end. It looks like the timing is a half tooth off. I got the head resurfaced, maybe that did it?

Quite possibly, depends how much you shaved off the head.

 

i have the a6 and it lines up perfectly...at least i think car runs like its on roids now though after the swap w. this custom mini me map for higher compressoin

 

i shaved the block .020 and it lines up perfect.

 

yea my head was shaved not sure how much bought it that way...but it was enough for me to have to file down the rods quite a bit for it to sit flush.
