re-map?

[jamesb]

might be a silly question here but is there any way of telling if a car has been re-mapped? ive seen of some pretty impressive cars in my vts so makes it hard for me to belive its just been cammed!

[Frankay]

What are you trying to imply? that you have raced a more powerful car and won?

[AndySAXO]

When uprated cams are used it normally be remap to gain the best out of them.

[Frankay]

as said above thats correct. What is the idling like on your car? does it idle lumpy and want to cut out or?

[jamesb]

yeah... u probly wont belive me but it was an 08 plate 182 clio thats got me thinking.... i was with a few of the lads who were in shock cuz they had never really seen my car go.... down my end every1 is tight so i know lads who have just banged cams in there saxo's n 106's n never bothered with a re-map....

[jamesb]

its idles fine then out the blue starts running lumpy... goes to cut out etc.... has cut out a few times when sat in light but not all the time.... exactly the same as my old gti

[Frankay]

Had it on a rolling road?

Just i quick question remaping a honda civic sport 1.6 vetec would you be able to tell difference and is it worth it? cheers

[Frankay]

Non turbo cars dont have a massive gain in bhp, you would definatley see an increase wether it would be noticeable i couldnt really say. My friend had a 1.8 zetec focus and had that remaped before and after and he only made about 6-7 bhp increase.... so youve just got think if its worth it or not?

[jamesb]

nah not yet but i will be shortly... ive just had a hernia op so not in work... off for anther week so money is tighter... its just to quick to say its only ever been cammed... ive had people follow me to tesco after racing them stop me n ask what the feck have u done to that..... my mate got a vts and he put a set of cams in it other than that its standard, and i completly hammered him.... weird

[Frankay]

... could just be the driver. And how the cars are looked after. Alot of his ponies could have gone walkies if its not well maintained

[jamesb]

true that.

[Frankay]

Definatley be nice to see how much break its running though. Get a print out or some figures up when its been on the rolling road?

so you only gain 6-7 bhp if that cheers mate

[jamesb]

yeah deffo.... im pretty exited to do it... there a rolling road about 15 mins away to in llandow so might take a venture up there.. i payed 300 notes for my old gti, mot'd it n that, n thats was a proper lil weapon, used to slay most things... it was the quickest gti around my area.. now theres a turbo'd gti though, but this feels quicker again

thats the link to that rolling road station..... dont think ive seen any1 on here from my area... will give them a ring later n get on the prices

[samueljonburgess]

so you only gain 6-7 bhp if that cheers mate

it depends on the car....

if nothing has been done to it you wont see any gain if its bee changed mechanicaly then a re-map will provide better figures....

[Frankay]

Yea my friend had a few little mods nothing as far as cams but a straight through exhaust and a induction kit, but 6-7bhp wasnt bad gains considering
