no black leather in mine

engine remap from 75bhp to 100bhp will get them wheels spinning :woot:

 

[dave]

search the forum for good a bad mappers before parting with money

and dont forget the before and after rolling road, or you will never know if the stated 75-100 is true or ball

 

[milfy]

local guy in cardiff as mapped a lot of stuff for me hes a top bloke
got a 210bhp diesel vw t5 van
will have to go some to keep up with me scooby 390bhp

 

[dave]

got graphs?

you sure you want to map it before its loosened up a bit?

What's a remap? [thick icon]

its tuning the ecu with out changine the chip, it re writes the software in the ecu
come to this for a look https://www.fiatforum.com/events/150075-rolling-road-day-north-london-near-m1-sunday-new-post.html
its not far from you

 

[milfy]

you sure you want to map it before its loosened up a bit?

mapped my diesel with low miles done 70000miles and still going good 16mths old

scooby only done 10000 miles and no problems just a beast
got some graphs some where will have to get them scanned

 

[white 500]

why didn't you buy the 1.4 which already has 100 bhp?

diesel its for wifey works car 70+mpg :idea: and its fun

scooby only does 20mpg and costing me a fortune in tesco 99

 

[dave]

torque

 

[milfy]

torque

thats right dave torque will increase to about 190lbs
a lot for a lickle car

does a remap affect the warranty?

of nuova website says it all

ECU remapping is the modern version of "chipping". This means we can re-flash the original chip in your ECU with new data to change the characteristics and performance of your engine. With this change we can add up to 25bhp and 55Nm torque of power to the engine, while smoothing the delivery and improving the throttle response.

Engine tuning does not have any downside; it’s physically undetectable and will have no long term detrimental affect on your engine or drive train.

Our ECU remapping is fully reversible; therefore if you are not happy with what we have done we can return it to standard.

Our engine tuners have many years experience of tuning Fiat engines and will come to you to perform the work at no extra charge (mainland UK only). If you are outside of the UK, you can still send us your ECU and we will do the work, please email us for details.

We have done over 4,000 miles of testing on our own 1.3 Multijet at various levels and the improvement in drivability, speed and economy is almost unbeleivable.

+25bhp
+40Lb ft / 55Nm
+2-4mpg improvement
Huge improvement in turbo response

nuova are same as AT though i wouldn't call that many years experience. physically undetectable is a bit miss leading, as fiat techs can tell its there, but Ive never seen some one loose any warranty claims for having one.
but remember that on a new car dealer will need to do up dates on the ecu, that will over wipe your remap, so make sure that you get a guarantee that map will be replaced if this happens, i know that red dot do it free but not sure about others

my local mapper can over write most software so not worried about this as he a clever guy when it comes to electronics and software
been using him for several years had no problems so far

 

[Venters]

Cool!
Might be our first privately owned Mapped 500.

 

[minifunclub]

Have fun ... looks lovely, even more sporty with the black leather too, cool!

 

[milfy]

spoke to dealers mechanic today and the can read thet you have had a remap
when resetting it it does not wipe it off if done correctly

does a remap affect the warranty?

yes it voids it.

I'd be very interested in hearing about the torque/mpg improvements. If you can get driveability and economy improvements then the additional horsepower is a bonus. I think it will be a little difficult to quantify the benefits straight away as from the posts I have read these things improve naturally over the first 2000 or so miles.

As an aside, did anyone see Tonight, on Sunday night regarding the fitment of a separate box of tricks that he swears blind works wonders on his cars. I missed it and hope it will be repeated soon or if not I might be able to find it online.
