hi, would there be any point re mapping a 1.6 stilo? i bought the car 2 weeks ago and its had loads done to it, different cams, full stainless, k&n and probably more ( just cant see anything else).
as its had all that done to it would there be any point in mapping it or would it not make hardly any difference? thanks

if you want to go ahead,some people remap 1.2 8v's so i dont see why you couldnt do a 1.6
get some pics up on here

thread moved to Stilo

here she is, hmm i might look into it, its just i mapped a 1.8 sri astra and didnt do much, even tho that had catback miltek and courtenay air intake with filter, i love the stilo tho, best car ive had!

If its it power you want then you should get the 1.9 Mjet or the Schumacher. The little power maybe 6-10 bhp from a re-map isnt worth it unless its beer money or somethin

thats what i thought, dont want to be making that mistake again, like you said its better on a turbo diesel or a petrol turbo engine, twice as much torque that way.
thanks

I have a 1.6 active sport aswell but i dont have the colour coded door handles or side protectors

I looked into remapping but found it was a waste of money for a 1.6, only thing i bothered to do is a GSR induction kit.

I would love the Schumacher edition but in the future i plan to get a new punto abarth

Welcome to the CrystalGreen crew JTD_Liam knows I'm talking about. Best colour for a Stilo IMO.

Don't remap the 1.6 - not much point dude, use the money to get a set of Fiat 17" Blades and that will finish the car right off.

I spoke to one of the guys at Red Dot back when we had that Gaydon meet about re-mapping the 1.6 and he quite bluntly (and honestly) told me there was no point, especially without a turbo as the gains were going to be un-noticable, compared to spending the same money on a turbo diesel. At the time i believe they had a turbo diesel punto demo car, pushing 220BHP.

I had my 1.6 remapped by Angel Tuning. I didn't do it for more power or torque, but to make the engine smoother, particularly at low revs and when pulling away from rest, to eliminate juddering and hesitation. It achieved what I wanted beautifully...

ok thanks for the advice, i wouldnt mind a set of 17' blades but i can get mine refurbed for £70 for all 4, (from a friend) but i dont no wether to stay silver or go anthrecite, what do you think?

do you have any pics of your stilo? the gsr is a good induction kit,

gloss black

There was a stilo on flea-bay a week or so ago which was breaking, which said "alloys avaiable" in the title. They were the 17 blades. Might be worth a look. They are the best alloys for the Stilo IMO.

Its metallic chrome grey, ironically i just went to halfords to get paint as i need to spray my new wing mirror cover (thanks to to adrian09) so they had to mix the paint up gave them the code, went to spray it and its bright silver !!... idiots cost me £20

halfords are useless, you should use wilco's, much cheaper and much better service, its a nice car, i nearly bought a 54reg one exactly the same as that from birmingham, i do like the gun metal grey look

you think gloss black? would it look good with the colour of my car? also does anyone no where i would get side skirts and a spoiler from as they didnt fit them on mine for some reason (it is a sport on the log book).
thanks
