Cupra remapped

[Eri]

Hello Guy,s

Today my Cupra has been remapped by JD Engineering in Holland. Before the remapping the car was Super, but after the remap the car's power, torque and
tractioncontrol (that's also ajusted) is just breathtaking. Al the guy's who are
ordering a Cupra and don't want to remap, i advise you strongly to reconsider.
(Yes, you too Syphon)

Cheers,

Eric

nice one mate

definate sub 6 second car i would imagine now.

 

[Feel]

JD always seems to get a bit more out of these cars than the others, but even so -

"Get IN".

 

[heinbloed100]

So maximum torque is 428.7Nm. Seems to be a lot...
But what is the difference between DINEng and DINWhp?

 

[Feel]

I assumed that the DINEng is DIN corrected Clutch/Flywheel/Engine power and DINWhp is DIN corrected Wheel Horse Power/Power at the wheels.

 

[ZBOYD]

So in the region of 310-320 lbft torque. On a par with some LCR's and appears to hold its torque very well. Not up and straight down.

Impressive Eric, does it drive smooth low down. Not lost any of its drivability.

 

[Feel]

Flat from 5,500rpm again. Ah well...

Is the new engine VVT?

 

[RobM]

Fantastic looking torque and power curves! Great figures too, bet you're pleased with it?

How does it drive now? Any trouble with traction at all or torquesteer?

 

[Syphon]

So the golden 300bhp is broken.

If Greenlight can match my very good quote from my current insurer - and don't bump the premium for a remap (as per a recent post) then I might consider a remap.

SI might consider a remap.

I'm sure there's a post somewhere saying "I'll keep it standard no matter what"

Nice power at the wheels. It' s a K04 then................(have I missed a thread somewhere )

Hi Mark, (and others who are wondering)

The car drives really fantastic. Esspecially from low down (from 2500 rpm) the car is now truly unbelievable. When for example i am in sixt ??????gear doing 140 kmh when i push the trottle down the push i get in my back is
The driveability after the remap is much better thankx to the ajusted traction control system. You have to bare in mind that it rained overhere all day so you can imagine when the car is this good in this conditions what it will do when it's dry. Plus i'am running snow tires at the moment so tractionwise there more to come when i fit my summershoes.

Cheers,

Eric

Erm..... um........ but then greenlight came up with the no cost increase for a remap offer.........

1) 3000 km 2) Yes , they told me that's no problem 3) They take over the garanty 4) That could be a problem but you can always put the original software back. 5) Yes

Cheers,

Eric

Eri, I'm your fan!
Going to do pretty much all the same things you have (lowering and re-mapping). Nice to see that re-mapping gives over 300 bhp. Do you have any idea how fast you can go from 0 to 60 miles / h (or 0 - 100km / h) now?

I'll have to get back to you on that. It hasn't been dry since the remap.

eric i m getting my car the day after tomorow but i have a small question for you that can"t wait!!what is the noise inside the cabin?i mean from the tyres,the road and the engine?is it tiring if you want to use it for long trips in the autobahn?a lot of magazines said that it had elevated noise levels from the tires and the road!thanks again for your time!

The advantage of the JD traction control is that is not like your standard TC but it is controlled by cutting the fuelling for a couple of milliseconds thus lowering the power, but when traction is available again power comes back in full.
