Tuning Has anyone used Celtic Tuning to remap their 100hp?

[ddpunter]

Hi

Had the Panda for nearly a year now and apart from just having to have the clutch done (20K! Not my driving I swear!) it's been a great fun car.

Was having a flick around and see that Celtic Tuning ( http://www.celtictuning.co.uk/ ) are offering a remap to give 110hp (anyone know where to get a 110hp badge?)and a squidge more torques. Sorry can't tell you the price, haven't put in for a quote yet.
Just wondered if there is any experience here of the Celtic?

Many thanks

Yes, walk away.

 

[ddpunter]

Thank you sir.

Anyone had any experience with a Viezu remap (www.viezu.com) they offer a similar remap to celtic tuning in the way of performance gains and appear to have agents dotted all over but does anyone know if they are any good?

A remap for an extra 10 HP? Hardly worth it whether the company is reputable or not.

Its an NA car they never get big gains off remaps. And anyway your not in a position really to say if its worth it or not. Its stupid looking at peak gain alone. Its just as important if not more important to see how much power delivery is improved.

Maybe i'm still high off the guy from the Abarth forum that took his 135 BHP 500 to G-tech and bought it back with 270 BHP (and got 55 MPG on the way home!) Although there is a 360 BHP version too from the same engine...

Not sure what HP the HP could take though?

would ruuning a wideband lamda make much more difference?

With the right combo of box/diffi/driveshafts im sure the1oohp could take a good few hps draig.

I know of one running 135bhp atm. But that is turboed.

Has to be the answer, I suspect, and probably cheaper in the long run.

Depends how good you are with engines. Even with it being a relatively simple conversion your looking at 3k+

Just need to circle like vultures and wait for people to start writing off their 500 Abarths.

Or grandes or bravos. They all have the 1.4 tjet in.

I was just thinking that if someone did the decent thing and looped the loop in a 500 Abarth - without personal injury, of course - then the rear suspension would be transferable as well.

for NA upgrades have a read of the work Kritip his done to his Seicento. He has a 100hp engne in it.

He runs aftermarket ECU and maps himself so he can do it. but the stock 16v ecu cannot be mapped.

HOLY HELL!

Do you have a link for this? 270HP from a 1.4 turbo sounds completely ridiculous.

270bhp from a 1.4 turbo is perfectly reasonably, just that the engine will have a much shorter lifespan.

Actually, let me verify, he had it re-bored to a 1.6 litre. But the Other racing Abarth 500 has 360 HP from what i assume is the original 1.4 block from what i've read. 360 HP in a car that weighs a lot less than a ton (stripped out)

It is a different engine. You can't increase the capacity of the 1368cc to 1600cc.

The Romeo Ferraris engine is a 1368cc but cost more than most of us can afford for a life time.

No the guy from the Abarth forum is who i was referring to, he increased the CC to 1.6 from the 1.4. But the other Romeo Ferrari one with 360 HP is the same 1.4 engine yes?
