What sort of modifications are appropriate for use with ESL Live?
Any and all! The ESL Live board will cope with anything from a mild tune to a full race spec. However, if you are starting with a standard car, the modifications detailed below are a good first stage. Initially, a MAP sensor from a post 96 car. This will raise the available boost threshold from 1.2bar to 1.7bar The ECU has 3D boost mapping so there is no need for a separate boost controller (Good considering its a similar price to an AVCR!). This allows mapping for increased midrange boost and torque. The ESL car runs 1.4bar midrange, backing off to 1.2bar at the redline to ensure the injectors do not run over 100% IDC. After that, the fuel system will need attention. A Walboro pump and larger injectors are a useful upgrade. The ESL car runs 440cc injectors at standard fuel pressure, which are good for at least 330bhp. The maximum seen on 380cc injectors is 313bhp at which point the car was beginning to lean out. The stock intercooler is also a limiting factor as it is mounted on top o
