General 1.9 JTD 115 8v ECU Remap

Oakley28 · Dec 7, 2008

Hey all ...

been looking at remap places such as retdot and celtic... but they are like miles away from me ... Im looking at getting my car remapped after christmas as i will be coming into some money (compo from car crash)

anyhoo ... Them 2 shops mentioned are too far from me, so i was wondering if anyone knew of a closer one too me, i am based near Manchester and wouldnt mind travelling a little bit, but dont really wanna be driving for 5 hours to get to the ones mentioned.

OR if anyone has another suggestion, please do tell ...

Thanks guys

The one PNL suggested seems better as you seem to get up to 145bhp which is tempting me

I dont think its a remap you need if its going to take you five hours to drive to red dot its a major engine rebuild or you drive so slow what do you need a remap for lol

Taking the mapping to high can cause problems in the future..

I'm trying..

they "claim"

If your getting a map id want it RR to have proven results and bhp figures aren't everything look at the torque figures with each map, were it kicks in the rev range - be it how use able the power is.. and reliability is something to consider? but i supposed that depends on how long you intend on keeping the car though..

i would suggest having a look through threads about maps and potential problems that can arise after a map

All good points, don't forget the issues that some of us JTD owners have had with the Reddot map.

Argonought · Dec 7, 2008

Angel Tuning is another favorite who will come out to you but basically you tend to pay for the service.

I'd strongly recommend a tried and tested generic map myself as far too many issues show up for the JTD on the other kind (just read the Forum)

Personally I'd just choose the best value offered that comes with a money back guarantee and go for it. If you get issues with the engine light then go straight back for a refund

With a JTD you'll sure as hell know the difference quick enough :devil:

Sagely advice, take heed all who enter here

angel tuning are good and can come to you to do the remap I think, they don't quote as high bhp figures as most other places but loads of customers seem very happy with them.

I had mine done at the chipped uk place that PNL said ans I got a RR printout of 159.1bhp and 250 lb/ft of torque, ran the car for another 5000 miles or so problem free then sold it because I got bored

but it made a hell of alot of difference to the power.

Oakley28 · Dec 11, 2008

think ill prob give that chipped uk a try when i get paid.

d0wnin · Dec 11, 2008

Im thinkin bout getting mine done there but im guna stick k&n in it first and get new alloys then we will see

didnt think K&N did a kit for the JTD? that would be a ball ache to fit?

d0wnin · Dec 11, 2008

Im on about replacing the air filter with a k&n air filter and i believe its under the battery, how nice

Oakley28 · Dec 11, 2008

oh right, its in between the battery and the engine. Mounted vertically i beleive?

Argonought · Dec 11, 2008

Generally considered a waste of time on anything with a turbo

If you think about it - if it gave any real improvement then why didn't the manufacturer fit it

d0wnin · Dec 11, 2008

Take it ur talking about the k&n?

And that would make sence
