Agree with the above. From my own experiences the hot spot for knock is normally 4800 – 5200 rpm. The risk is normally passed beyond 5200rpm. Hence why most calibrations have a bandwith of knock control from 3000 – 5500 (ish). Although general engine noise increase at high rpm and the quality of the knock sensor does play a part in this bandwidth setting decision.
The only time I’ve heard knock above this rpm regardless of how much timing was pulled was a car that unknowingly still had a pre-cat fitted, which was preventing expelling hot gases escaping quick enough. Boost had to be dropped 0.3bar at the top end but it was soon returned once the owner fully decatted.
The Mountune M400 power upgrade.
Utilising a selection of fully proven mountune hardware – some of which endorsed by Ford themselves, to help lower charge temperatures, improve pressure drops and remove back-pressure, means the engine is now able to operate more efficiency, allowing the impressive peak 400PS and 560Nm power and torque output to be more safely, and reliably achieved. There is also a reduction in boost pressure with this setup -0.3

I went from Autotech stage 1 map 370hp 550nm to dreamscience last Friday and went for the ultima 2+ map which should be around 390-400hp 580nm+ but I was kinda disappointed to be honest. the car felt slower, so I though “alright these ultima 2/2+ are for decat etc so lets try the ultima map” Car felt alittle faster with the normal ultima map compaired to 2/2+ but still slower than the Autotech map. so If you ask me, DS maps doesnt give that much hp and tq as they say. but hey, atleast i can return to stock now unlike before hehe.

@frozex what was the ambient air temperature when you were testing the car?
One thing I have spotted is that in the evening when its roughly 15 degrees the car pulls much harder and reacts much quicker then in the afternoon when it is 25 degrees plus.
Also if you don’t have one, get a K&N or mountune panel filter fitted as on their own they make the car more responsive, with a map they make quite a big difference.
I do have a k&n filter, yes even the autotech map function the same at colder temps=more power. It was 19c when i tested both maps.

We messured here around 400PS/570Nm with Dreamsince Ultima 2+ (different runs where messured)
(K&N, hardpipe)
On antoher car, same Map, but with HJS DP it gives a little bit more torque at lower RPM.
Car is to be messured in the next weeks….
Its nice to see a map of the Dreamscience at last !
I am no expert in any of this but does it look remarkably like M400X ?
Its back !
DS Ultima 3 (Launching Soon)
Dreamscience are delighted to announce the release of our latest tune for the RS MK3. Please welcome the Mighty DS-Ultima 3 to our already comprehensive choice of tunes for your RS. We have been working on this latest tune for several months and are delighted with the overall performance, power output, reliability and most importantly driveability. The vehicle used for the testing was fitted with a Dreamscience Motorsport 3” Down Pipe De Cat, a Velossatech big mouth cold air intake (Velossa Tech) feeding a Dreamscience Motorsport dry charge filter (Panel Filter), stock intercooler and stock cat back running Shell V-Power 99 octane fuel.
The test vehicle reliably and consistently produces around 405Bhp and just over 430FtLb of torque, this map as can be seen from the graph (Dyno Graph) achieves its peak power at 5350 Rpm and holds over 400 Bhp thereafter making it a bit of an animal when racing or making high rpm gear changes. The torque curve has no crazy spike and is controlled as can be seen from the graph we hold over 425Ftlb of torque from 2500 rpm to 4500 rpm with a flat torque curve and the drop off is only slight so the car always feels progressive and like it’s continuously pulling hard! You will notice an over-boost feature with this map when driving that activates above 4500 rpm so you never have the feeling that the car is letting off power, ever! The small humps that can be seen in both the stock map torque curve, and the Ultima 3 torque curve, are a safety feature as we run to a load target / limit same as your stock file, this ensures that under harsh conditions your car will still perform safely and within tolerance.
This Ultima 3 tune must only be run with 99 octane fuel in the UK, 98 Octane in Australia, and ideally 99+ octane in other European countries who have access to higher octane fuels. If you struggle to find a fuel suitable we do offer an octane booster called Boostane (BOOSTane) which won SEMA product of the year 2016 and really does do what it says on the tin. This map is a free upgrade to any existing iMap customers, simply connect to a pc with the cable provided to our updater tool (iMap Updater) and select automatically check for updates, it’s best not to use the handset Wi-Fi option for this update as it may drop out so in all cases use the cable!
Minimum modification requirements for optimum performance are
3” Downpipe with sports cat, Race Cat or De Cat (Down Pipe Link)
Cold air intake system, or panel filter upgrade with cold air feed (Panel Filter link) (BIG Mouth Intake Scoop link)
99 Octane fuel
Additional modifications which complement the map and produce extra gains
Upgraded intercooler (DS Intercooler link)
Big boost pipe kit
3” Cat Back exhaust system
The next release being worked on is DS-Ultima 3+ which utilises the followingForge Actuator upgrade
Forge Re Circ upgrade
DS-Big boost pipe kit
DS Intercooler
DS-Oil breather system.
Just waiting to get and messure it 🙂
by the way: the numbers with Sportcat on the Ultima 2+ where a little bit higher.
Tested it one or two weeks ago.
torque will be 10-15Nm higher, HP around 3-5PS
But with the Ultima 3, I think the car will drive/feel like much more Power !!!
That’s very impressive bearing in mind the cost of the map and hardware.
DS-Oil breather system. any idea what this is ?
At a guess a oil catch can but could be wrong
