(T) Bravo Remap Questions/Answers

I had it done by O2 from France, probably not available in the UK but the remap is really a mater of who does the settings not the brand. Anywhere you go, they should ask you what you want, faster throttle/turbo response? better top speed? better fuel economy? etc...

My remap made my car accelerate faster, I still have some of the annoying turbo lag, but a lot less than before. My top speed didn't vary much but I can't be sure of that as I never went top speed either before or after the remap, I don't want to go more than 120mph with the way this car handles.

My 0 to 60 time is around 6 seconds now, though the main problem is the gearbox that wasn't designed for such acceleration.

My torque is so high now, that I can easily make my wheels spin even with ASR on... I never had my wheels spin before... (dry tarmac)

The guy who did my remap thought I had a 150hp engine, it still works great though I'm going in for a free tune up when I have time to try and make the remap fit my 5 speed gearbox.

Your car's still new, I'd wait a little bit before remapping it if I were you, my remap was done at 8000 miles right after the first service (first 6000 miles oil and filters change)

You should wait for the simple reason that if something's wrong with your engine, you have to give it time to show, if something breaks after the remap, they might discover the remap when plugging the diagnostic computer and void your warranty.

As for me, I don't care about the warranty.

Can we see a youtube of yours doing the 0-60???? my bravo can only manage 6.7 secs and its a 150 dynamic i thought yours was a 120
i like you dont care about warrenty

I'll see what I can do, though I think with accurate measuring, it'll be much more than 6.

also, my engine is a turbo charged 1.9l diesel, which has a lot of potential for torque and acceleration when remapped. what is your engine?

Its the 150 1.9 m/jet but it has 196 bhp now and extra 70 NM

I've seen your youtube vid though the 0to60 is not available anymore... the power you got is very similar to mine now, but I guess you'll wait to see it for yourself.
I also got a slightly better fuel economy now.

Is the 120 the 8 valve? What BHP figures/torque are you achieving at present?

Thanks for the thread reply, yeah i think i will wait for now before i get anything done - I love the Bravo but disappointed that my previous '03' Renault Megane 1.9 DCI 120 (not modified) felt so much torquier and faster than the Bravo. Certianly enough to push you into your seat as this one is a gradual less dromatic and slower acceleration.

I'd love to see some videos too if you get chance.

Just went out for a drive now to record a 0 to 62 acceleration.

obviously not the perfect conditions since the engine wasn't fully warm and tires were cold. managed to do it in 8 seconds on one single try.

I'd love to show you but the 3gp video won't play on my computer, it reads only the first two seconds as you can see on this youtube link :
I could easily manage less than that if I tried.

here you go i dont know what happened to it!!!
th

I almost choked when i read 0-60 in 6 seconds. LOL.

Also Buck-egit that sounds nice for a diesel have you done anything else to it to make it sound like that?

yeah guess I exaggerated a little bit
it's more like between 7 and 8 seconds...

I wonder why the video plays on my phone and not on the computer...

i havnt done anything Pomp, but i am thinking about getting a Miltec full exhaust system it will look similar too the sport bravo i will use a Dremill too do the cutout in the lower bumper. My friend has his golf gttdi with one on and it sounds loads better than my other friends golf without it ..........Im glad you like it

I used a stop-watch to evaluate your time and it's 7.3 seconds.
It's a very good time nonetheless and you beat me by more than a second.

@buck-egit

AFAIK, Milltek is not making exhausts for Fiat..... (supersprint is, but its still not available for bravo.... maybe in 1 year or so...)

Sorry will have to pull you up on the missing few "mills" I used my video editing software and its 6.7 ---6.8 you need a new stopwatch or glases lol thats almost a half sec that could win me a race at drag strip hehehehe
