maybe a stupid question!!!

[johnlambert]

ok here we go.!!

living in dublin,saxo mod places are hard to find.
found a place that can add a superchip to my westcoast,for about £230!!
will add about 5bhp.
gonna order stuff in from kamracing such as 4-2-1 manifold and new cams,
heres my set up

what are the best kams to get??
http://www.kamracing.co.uk/manufacturers-543/catcams-676/catcams-camshafts-659/catcams-4901133-fast-road-camshaft-saxo-vtr-furio-black-top-1122.html

for furio black top?

in relation to adding to engine,which is the best process to make the performance its best,eg add manifold 1st then new cams and finally superchip??
or anything diff?

thanks

Chipping is wrong, you want a remap though

[johnlambert]

i kinda guessed!!
whats the diff with chipping??

[JamesR]

As above get a remap, and gains wise i would either go for thr fast road can, or the newman PH3 :y:

Anywhere over there that does Remaps? ( NOT CHIPS )

A remap is live, and will take into consideration all the modifications you have. A chip in most cases is just the same for most cars.

[johnlambert]

oh i get you now!! believe me its very tough finding places over here!! most places only do mods for jap cars!!

if i cant get a remap and just go with the new cams and manifold how much bhp will this add ?
about 8??

i joined last month!! how much is it to join?

[JamesR]

If you cant find a place that does remaps, then you would have to go with a less wild cam, that doesnt need one, like a PH1 or maybe the PH2 but the 2 would be a little lumpy without a map.

[Jorge-]

Depends how good the remap is, what is it a VTR, S or Westie?

lumpy??

its a westcoast,1,4

[JamesR]

The car idle will feel a bit bumpy and juddery without a map on a PH2, only slightly i would think, but the PH3 would be pretty bad on idle without a map.

[johnlambert]

so will i jus keep looking for repmap?
what if i get the superchip and then the ph3s?

[Jorge-]

you get a superchip,i will personally come to dublin and slap you

[sammyd]

try north of ireland mate am sure loads of places would have the remap resources up here lol your just 2 hrs or less away from me

[johnlambert]

utter bullshit,jus rang a place outside dublin and they said id have to buy a new ecu and they could remap it for the tiny sum of 2000 euro !!!

[JamesR]

There chatting bull mate, any ecu can be remapped, i have heard a few companies say things like that, and its not true.

[johnlambert]

i know that,scam artists
will i ring them back and ask again or look elsewhere??

[JamesR]

Look elsewhere, or phone back and tell them that there talking crap :y:

[cj_99]

Thing is people fall for it and do buy it, you just need to look at ebay chips or ebay superchargers to see how many foolish people there are out there.

Look somewhere else

[dinga]

there are very few places that can remap the original ecu..chipwizards is the only one i know of.
most places can re-map an aftermarket ecu.
i feel your getting a lil confussed about remapping.

There are a lot of places that do remaps! Not very few.

Chipwizards is just one of them.

[dinga]

remapping standard ecu !!!!

[JamesR]

remapping standard ecu !!!!

Yes, there are a lot of places that can remap a STANDARD ECU.

[dinga]

good luck in finding a decent one.
only place i ever heard mentioned that could do even a half decent job has been wayne !
chances of finding someone in north/south ireland are ????
or you talking diesel remaps ? not quite the samething for saxos !

Dont know about ireland but over here there are a lot of places that do remaps, wayne is one of the best imo but there are other places that can do good jobs.

[johnlambert]

this is head wrecking

[dinga]

i very much doubt you will get anyone over here to remap a standard saxo ecu.
first off you will need to get an after market ecu costing £500-£700.
then you can take it to get mapped/re-mapped costing £250-£500.

You talk some crap mate, no offense but you do.

Of course the standard saxo ecu can be remapped. lmao

stop talking shit

[dinga]

i live in northern ireland.do you ?
i have been looking to get my car mapped/remapped for 2 years now.
i have expressed an opinion,you shoot me down !
i never said the standard ecu couldnt be mapped.i did say only a limited number of companys could map the standard ecu to give decent results.
i wont respond to your name calling !

[LeeM]

if someone can remap an aftermarket ecu they can do a standard one its practically the same thing. all tey do is adjust fueling and valve timing and shit

[dinga]

a little knowledge is a dangerous thing !

[JamesR]

lol you will get the same results no matter what ECU it is.

So what makes an aftermaket ECU soooo much better than standard then?

ROTFLOL

[johnlambert]

stupid ireland

[johnlambert]

found a place

[dinga]

so they can re-map standard ecu ???

[JamesR]

Anywhere that can remap a car can remap a standard ECU :wall::wall::wall:

[col101]

Anywhere that can remap a car can remap a standard ECU :wall::wall::wall:

I get the impression that a saxo can be re-mapped with std ecu, but this is also the exception to the rule - most std ecu's are pre-programmed and will not change their settings. This is why "piggyback" chips were invented (to con the std ecu)

[dinga]

to a certain extent yes.
you have to buy the piggyback.or stand alone ecu.
then you have to re-map the piggyback,or stand alone ecu.not the standard ecu.
wayne at chipwizards can re-map the standard ecu with no piggyback.a few others too,but with mixed results.
