(T) Anyone have a GP 1.3 90 remapped?

All the reports I've read so far seem to be about the Sporting 1.9 remapping, which whilst seemingly endorsed by their owners, is a different beast to the 1.3 90 Mjet.

A remap would take my 90 BHP to 120 BHP - stop sniggering you Sporting owners!

Anyone have a GP 1.3 90 (ie variable vane turbo) remapped by Angel or a.n.other? If so, what are your experiences, in particular with regard to the turbo lag at city speeds (eg when taking off from roundabouts, T-junctions etc)?

hi there, i haven't heard of anyone re-mapping a 1.3 in this forum yet im afraid. maybe u can be the first?

Howdy!!
Anyone know approx what kinda hp you'd b gettin outta a remap on the 1.3 mjet GP. She hasnt got the power captain!!!!!!!!

Mmm, doesn't fill me with confidence! I wonder why? Perhaps 1.3 drivers are not so 'sporting' as FIAT's 1.9 purchasers.

Of course, it just has to be that Angel charge more for a 1.3 90 remap than any other car on their FIAT list. I will have to elicit why that is. I'm just hoping it's not more problematical to remap a 1.3 than a 1.9.

Anyway, if there are any 1.3 owners out there with a remap, do respond

120bhp I believe

because they have to remove the ECU to do the 1.3... the 1.9 can be done just by plugging in...

but I believe you may be the first I know of if you do it

threads merged............please use search function first before posting guys

Surely the Search feature is not that bad?

Apparently it's a half day job so you can't get the same group discounts as you can with the sporting, otherwise mine would have been done already. iirc there are one or two people running with the plug in tuning boxes and they report a big difference

Pity they don't join this forum then so we could all share in their experiences!

I'm slowly getting to the point where I'm determined to get it done, money permitting of course. I've now 7,000 miles on the clock so time's ticking away.

It's a bit disconcerting that it requires removal of the ECU and takes so long; part of me wants this to be a transparent upgrade so no-one is any the wiser. Removing and refitting the ECU, with the potential for surrounding cable disturbance wasn't really what I had hoped for! I wonder if a re-flash of the ECU is a simpler job once the ECU has had it initial removal/reinsertion completed the once?

Yes, yes, I know, talk to Nigel at Angel. All in good time.

there was a guy on this forum, can't remember his name he used a tunit box.

I have a dragon box, 5 mins to fit, power around 110-115 torque 175. When on boost its pretty nippy - unfortunately mines the 5 speed, will hit 4500 in top!
mpg is at 47.7.

Did this inprove the turbo lag many have complained about on this model

We can do the 1.3, but it takes about 3 hours as indeed its ECU out. Don't forget we run a 1.3 Multijet ourselves with this ECU and its gets HAMMERED daily - its done 46,000 mile sin 6 months without missing a beat.

The power increase is up by 35bhp and 50lb ft of nice clean power on these.

Just book in as normal, we don't do group days as the time factor doesnt allow.

We can actually do them from the diagnostic port, but prefer to take a full backup before hand - that just our belt and braces approach on some cars.

quick question to alfanige, does the remap alter boost pressure as well as fuel?
