ECU RE-map

[big ric]

i have just bought a 1.8 ibiza cupra turbo on a 51 plate, i think its an amazing little car with alot of kick but i just want alittle more, does anyone have advice on the right sort of re-map,? if their could be any problems? would anyone advise anything else instead or aswell as mine is lowered and has an induction kit and thats it!
ive seen many adverts for profestional re-maps to around 201 bhp and i feel this sound ok!!!!

HELP!!! i dont want to mess it up.

lots of info on here if you search mate.

but it's pretty safe to get a remap, its a pretty robust engine. Can tune them upto about 330 bhp before internals need uprating so no worries there. Obviously the additional power will add more stress to certain parts of the car ie brakes/clutch etc but nothing to worry about.

You might want to consider uprating the dump valve to a metal one as the standard plastic ones tend to fail with the increased boost of a remap (forge 007 ones are very good)...again lots of info if you search

Ive noticed that there is a stage 1 & 2 map whats the best and most reliable to go for???

Is there any solidering of the ECU needed or is it all done by PC cable???

 

[nick-barnes07]

depends if you have the right mods for a stage 2 , what mods have you got

Hi there,

If you give me a call at Custom-Code HQ I'll be more than happy to discuss the options for your car. As an un-modified example Custom-Code phase one with an uprated diverter valve (Forge 007 is recommended) and a pannel filter (we use Green Cotton) will be perfect for you. The software is £380+VAT plus the cost of the parts, if you get in touch with me I'll try and do you a deal on them.

You will see in the region of 190-200BHP and 220-230lb ft of torque over your standard 150 and 163 respectively. These gains will be smooth and useable and with excellent throttle responce and drivability.

You express concern for your engine but the Custom-Code files are totally safe and proven many times over.

Mine has a Catback stainless exhaust and the split R valve and thats the lot so the phase 1 is more than enough then yea???

 

[big ric]

were did u buy your split r from? how much was it and was it easy enough to fit? has it made any difference or caused any problems?

Phase one will suit your set-up spot on. I would also recommend a green pannel filter. Send me a PM and I'll do my best to sort you out a deal.

Hate jumping on these threads, but just to make you aware, we have tuned alot these models for members on SCN.

Everybody likes to get the lowest price when paying out some of their hard earned, but if you're talking about your pride and joy I'm sure you'll all agree it's worth the little extra to get your car mapped by the experts at Custom-Code.

We feel our knowlege and experience tuning these ECUs cannot be matched
That sounds like a challenge to me.

 

[nick-barnes07]

now now boys ,

I wont hassle customers for business. If they know we are here, then they can make their minds up.

@ custom code.....its not a challenge, nor do I think it is neccessary to post what you did, sounds a bit silly. We simply responded to the thread, just like you.

We dont tend to mention these things, but we recently had a customer with a Golf mk4 1.8T with GT28 conversion. He had a custom re-map for a company (of course not mentioning names ;-) ) and he wasn't happy, but told that that was as perfect as they could get it. We had it for 2 days and prooved them wrong.

 

[big eck]

Please do mention names so that other people can make a sound judgement on who to go to

 

[Custom-Code HQ]

Well I can confirm that that GT28 golf wasn't done by us.

As for said challenge, independant rolling road, we'll supply a big turbo car. We'll each tune it and let the results speak for themselves...

I like to keep things friendly with other tuners, so lets drop this rubbish

I'm sure P-Torque/CC tuned cars will meet at various RR days

I also like to keep things friendly, but it's good to keep things interesting whilst keeping in the spirit of things.
