Emerald K6 Training Material? Peugeot 206 1.4 8v

[phoenix3dfx225]

Hey all ,

I have a Peugeot 206 1.4 8v Petrol and its just my toy car. I try and cycle to work most days and with petrol prices I only drive it once aweek. opinion aside, it has:

17" Peugeuot Pitlane Alloys on 215/35/17 Goodyears tyres
330mm Front Big Brakes 6pot Calipers (Pug1off)
Rear disc conversation from Drums
Rear Window Tints
Ebay Tubular Manifold
MK1 Mid cat to replace stock Manifold cat
2.5" back box
Pumkin Double Din Android Head Unit + 2 Underseat 300w Subwoofers.

However the cherry on top is the Emerald K6 Standalone Ecu.

So the ecu got mapped but that was down south near Oxford whilst I'm several hundred miles north in Lancashire. I wasnt to happy with the map after awhile, I could smell fuel, it cut out at junctions and I was offered to return to the remapping centre but wasnt prepared to keep driving all that way loosing a day each time.

I'm also an IT professional so I know my away around a laptop and can learn software which I have the Emerald software. What I'm struggling with is find any sort of guys for the Emerald K6 setup. All ECU tuning guides are for other products. Anyone got any resources?

Initially I just wanted some pops and crackles on gear shifts. What I've got at the moment is nothing on over run, but if I let of WOT in 2nd or 3rd gear I get an almight gun shot bang out the tailpipe. Which the child in my loves, but would like to understand better how I've achieved this and still to tune in the crackle on gear shift/over run.

Let us know if there is a better thread or forum location. Any advice much appreciate but please leave opinions at the door. Yes I could have got a GTi etc, but so could everyone else. I like working with what I have. Extracting the most from little engines. I started my drive way tuning days with 600c 3pot Turbo Smart Fortwos! Then moved onto a Rover 220 Coupe Turbo and rebuilt the T16 2.0 Turbo block with forge components but that was 15years ago now sadly.

im by no means and expert but i have susscessfully got cars running and made tweaks to my previous cars omex 600 and many moons agao a K6. once im happy and there shaken down ive then been to have them tuned. there will be some one local to you that will tune the emerald. dan st (leeds) might be able to help I think they use emrald along side motorsport electronics.

The basics are the same for engine tuning, regardless of the ecu. so if you get an understanding of that it will start to make some sense to you. with the NA setup you have you will be hard pressed to do any real harm unless you absolutly rag on it with a really bad tune which will be pretty obvious too you. if it was boosted id advise you to be very carful as one lean pull could do major damage.

For pops in the over run. you need to have a lean condition with a small amount of fuel in the overrun area of the map. and maybe play with adavncing the timing. my turbo 205 had dutycyle of 20 (440cc injectors) in the over run to give it a nice burbel on over run. you might find that the emerald has a overrun fuel cut function which might be part of your problem. as its ignoring the fuel map on over run. (this is a check box in the omex software)

it sounds like you have other running issues , so it might be worth asking emerald if they have a base map for you to start from. its alot easier to make incremental changes from a known start than to iron out other peoples mistakes. also has it always run badly ? or did it start to run badly? because you might be trying to tune around and unrelated issue.

if your not already id setup a good afr guage so you can see whats happing. and if the ecu supports it use the the lambda. to help you tune, the omex allows closed loop running. which was great for the lowdown and idel mapping as it can self tune/trim to a point. but then have it revet to the map for WOT.

as i say im, a total amature ive only learn as ive needed to tweak my cars, so if i can do it you can. Sounds like you have the perfect canvass to learn on.
