mapping / remap

[SergeantScooby]

come on someone else ask a question i am starting to feel dumb here, with all the newbie questions in this area of forum, :shock:

right, ecu and remapping and map and particualr people who map ecu's whats it all about, can someone tell me the basics, i have read lot about people remapping and recommending particular people to map ecu's but not found a definitive explanation as to what it is all about, is it just a case that it gives you more bhp or is there more to it .

I'll try.

I have a UK turbo 2000 & found it slow compared to my MY99 STi..

I fitted a full decat exhaust (no catalytic converters) & an induction kit (bigger air filter). The car ran a little better & faster but not that much difference.

I was advised to have a remap.

This involes a clever bloke with a laptop forcing you to drive as fast as possible on the road while he listens to your engine with a pair of headphones :shock:

He then remaps your cars ECU (brain) to tell it you have a decat exhaust & fancy air filter.

He also maps the ECU for UK (optimax) fuel - no more octane booster.

End result is: safer, faster & perhaps more economical :wink:

Hope that helps mate.

Andy.F on SNet - have a look in technical, he posts all the time. Bob Rawle is another name to look for in the mapping world.

SergeantScooby, I have had my RA set up by Steve Simpson of TEG Sport @ Carnforth. He fitted his ALS system and I am sooo pleased with it, it flys.

:D

Pushing out 297bhp with 276 ft/lbs torque. Plenty for me and I personally dont feel the need to go anymore with it.

I have decat fuyll system with Blitz Nur Spec and obligatory induction and that's it, apart from 4 pots to make it stop better now :lol:

Hope this helps, and if you want phone number of Steve Simpson then just holla...

Top bloke too.
