Ibiza fr 1.2 tsi

[Summers2014]

Looking for some feed back , we have just bought 14 plate 1.2 tsi ibiza fr I now it runs at 105 bhp but just looking to see if anyone or is it worth having it re mapped ? Views please ??

there isn't any maps out currently for the late 2013/2014 1.2`s, but the older engines with maps have been getting about 130 bhp so ive heard

Ive got a 12 plate 1.2 tsi fr with a remap and it runs at 130bhp with 189 lb ft torque. But as stevo said there isnt a remap available for later models (that i know of)

 

[Summers2014]

Remap

Is it really worth it for the extra 25 bhp ?? Is there anything else u can do that will increase it , I'm meaning on the old plate !!

Could try a TMC tuning box which give you a generic upplugable map should you need to go back to the dealer

 

[Summers2014]

Can u provide me with some info on this and were to go for it ?

 

[Stevo1725]

Search TMC tuning box in google and have a look on the TMC website just enter in your cars details.

Just had Robbie 'turboboy' drake fit a TMC to my 1.4 yesterday and wow what difference the car now just pulls in every gear and I've managed to knock a second of both 0-60 and 1/4 mile so far

 

[Summers2014]

^^^ u approve of this then , I'm no good with engines n how to connect just need someone to fit it for me

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Ohh yes lol, to be honest it really easy to fit took Robbie 5-10mins to fit and I'm the same as you with engines so I'd say it would take 30mins top all you do is disconnect 3 plugs and use the TMC to create a loop (TMC has 6 plugs) and then using double sided tape or cable ties to secure the actual TMC box/controller.

 

[Summers2014]

Could this guy do mine

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Where are you?

Leeds

 

[CraigFrTsi]

Bit of a trek as he's near reading lol, have you not got the instructions as it shows the engine and where the relevant plugs are. If not could always pop down to me in notts m1 jct25 and we could go through it together as I watched Robbie fit mine so I knew how to take it off when I eventually go for a custom remap

 

[Summers2014]

It could do with a run down see what it's like

To me or reading? If you mean me then let me know when you fancy coming down as I normally work shifts but I'm working all next week for training. If you mean Robbie for a real trek I can let him know to contact you to sort something out

As far as i've been told the 1.2 doesn't have an intercooler so can't be mapped or the excess heat produced will use up any power gains? i've got a 63 plate

As far as i've been told the 1.2 doesn't have an intercooler.....

Mine does. There is an air/water intercooler.

What reg?

What reg?

11 registration, early 2011. I doubt that any turbo would be much use without an intercooler since the air entering the cylinders must be reasonably cool in order to keep the efficiency up.
It's basic thermodynamics - the compresssion in the turbo heats the air up and it has to be cooled down again.
