what is a remap, what does it do

and do gsr do one?

thanks

probably an extra 5bhp, 5lb in torque and mpg should go up somethin like 5mpg so it'll pay for itself.

and yer gsr do/ well red-dot racing do at their RR in enfield.

what actually happens to the engine thn. like what do the people do, if that makes sense lol

They don't do anything to the engine, just the computer that controls it.

"What does ECU remapping do?
Quite simply, it changes the data in various areas to provide a different map so that areas such as the fuel supply, ignition timing, injector opening times etc are altered to provide a more efficient combustion."

on average thn does it make your car faster? like is it noticeable or is it more for fuel consumption

Effects vary, on my car very noticeable, huge improvement in performance and a slight improvement in fuel economy, depends how you use the extra power really. Your car would need an induction kit as well to get maximum benefit from the 1.2 motor.

if yours is the 1.2 16v you would probably get about 100bhp from GSR induction kit and remap...

and a lil 8v? lol

how much is all this neways?

im gettting a gsr induction kit soon as well

remap and induction on the 8v, probably about ~75bhp? depending on standard bhp. Might be lucky and hit 80bhp like some people have on here

sounds good for a 8v

how much is a remap thn (if i ave a gsr induction already)?

80bhp from induction and map is very unrealistic and I dare say impossible from the 1242 8v.

Stop being unrealistic tbh.

3bhp from a map, probably 2-3 from induction and similar from a good backbox, if you're lucky.

66-69bhp is more like it.

cool

how much? lol

£200 map
£150 induction
£200 backbox

where would u go to get a remap, as above gsr do it but where? RR. whats that?

Rolling Road.

Red dot. Google it.

They used to be in Watford but they moved iirc. Maybe to Enfield?

Ring GSR: 07977 300 447, if you get through tell Peter he owes Richie money still.

ok thanks mate

Unknown, mine produced 84bhp with more mods.

Head work
Raised compression
Cam
Induction
TB
Supersprint full system
Sports cat

Figures depend on what % losses are taken into account, so they're pub talk anyway.
