Anyone had their 1.6 CR re-mapped?

[SecretWeapon]

I've seen some talk on these forums about the 1.6 CR re-map becoming available, but I wanted to know if anyone's actually gone and had it done? And if so, where did you go and what sort of difference has it made?

 

[GMInsite]

Will repost here tuesday mate, Im getting mine done at Unit18 in Milton Keynes.

 

[SecretWeapon]

I've gone for it and booked mine in at More BHP for next Wednesday (12th) - I'll also report back!

 

[markmeus]

Looking forward to hearing the results!

SecreatWeapon what gains have you been told? Mine should be 140bhp and 280-300nm. I wont have a rolling road printout though as the company im using doesnt have one i think? But it was alot cheaper than everywhere else

 

[SecretWeapon]

I've been told 135-140bhp and 300Nm torque.

I'm having a rolling road print out so will share that once it's done

 

[GMInsite]

Cheers , IF you dont mind me asking how much they charging you? Im getting mine for £265 that includes replacing the security bolts that hold the ECU in place.

Ill get a rolling road done another time, Have you got any other modifications? I only have the piperX panel filter but may be getting an exhaust as the MK4 Ibiza might fit just have to measure it up

 

[markmeus]

I've been quoted 135-140bhp and a price of £300 which includes a RR printout.

 

[GMInsite]

Cool Ill let you know tomorrow then mate cant wait

You won't be disappointed with the Unit18 map

 

[GMInsite]

Skeat12 reason? I work down the road and Ali has worked on all of my cars and at reasonable prices

 

[SecretWeapon]

Yeah, £299 for mine including the rolling road print out.

There was no mention of security bolts, but I assume that's included if it's required to re-assemble the ECU?

I'd want to know who's map they are putting on it, or if it's a custom map. They offer franchise so maybe they are generic maps

What's the difference and why would one be better than the other?

Not all maps are the same. Some tuners will push the boundaries and put the settingthey change right on the tolerances to max the output but doin this puts strain on the components

I understand that, their FAQ states: "The process of ECU Tuning is used to optimise maps that run the car. The engine itself does not need to be touched and will still be operating within manufacturer tolerances." - plus they're advertising 135bhp on their website which is pretty much what everyone else is offering - nothing over-extravagant.

 

[skeat12]

Their figures for the 2.0TDi are high, quite a bit (15-20bhp) more than mine is.

Not saying they are bad, they may be very good. They aren't one of the more popular mappers and I have no idea who they are, so will reserve judgement

Ok not until next wednesday now bloke was unwell

 

[CyborgCupraJQ]

Seat Leon 1P 1.6CR 105

151hp and 341nm

Anyway you can't go this further with an Ibiza, your IC is too small

 

[GMInsite]

What IC can i get?
