hey all, thanks for all the comments, very useful but i realy don't want to start with a new cam, head, manifold etc, firstly with the car being fairly new, and i plan on keeping it 1 year more at the most, just wanted a quick 7bhp from a cheapish remap, im sure somewhere quoted a 7bhp increase.
i'll try the companies mentioned in this thread
so hold on a second guys, im in the same vote. my punto mk2b 8v is standard at the min. if i went to get me car chipped/remapped what kind of bhp difference am i lookin at? would it only be like 10 bhp
cheers Mikey

Ever thought about loosing weight? the car I mean
This list is far more extensive than the list posted previously.
Any graphs to back this up ? Also how did you time your 0-60 time?
Your now saying with all that work done, you expect 110bhp? Yet with less mods earlier you said 130bhp was possible.
Im not trying to argue with you. If its possible, yes i wanna know how you can get 100% extra power from an N/A.

Bump?

Sorry I don't get to read all posts on here as most of my time is spent elsewhere.
In short the car was running this spec:
- Stock Punto 75 cam
- GSR Ported and flowed head
- GSR Induction kit
- GSR Raised compression approx half a point to 10-1 (standard 9.6-1)
- GSR 3 Angle Valve Cut
- NGK 7 heat range plugs
- Supersprint exhaust manifold
- Sports cat 200cell with extended lambda wiring
- Supersprint centre section box
- Supersprint Backbox Twin exit
- 6 speed gearbox
It made 105bhp on the first go, but the plugs were too cold when the fueling was corrected (more fuel = cooler engine temps = too cold a plug cokes and misfires) so it was leaned off to make 94bhp, with the right plugs I reckon it would of made 110bhp, which is why with more mods this is the min I would expect.
The block is not taking much more than 130bhp so I would not want the mapping pushing it as high as this (the ignition advance can be as much as 38degrees with no problem, possible UPTO 45degrees peak but not for long, we tested this with a 16v engine just supersprint exhaust, decat and gsr induction, we got 136bhp with full ignition advance but the block would not take it so we took down to 119bhp for safety.
0-60 was not correctly timed as I was due to go drag racing 1 week after the accident so I have not made look at me posts claiming anything, but by my estimates (which are very critical) just driver around 8 seconds sometimes just under with a good launch but with a passenger around 9 seconds. (it was a 2 seater weighing a realistic 700kg without driver)
All i was saying, was that there is a lot more work involved than your original post.
Where did all your performance parts go?
Ross
I'll comment... Angel Tuning aren't that good they'll use a generic map on the 8v gains will be minimal, also you don't get before and after figures for power/torque.
100bhp is a relatively easy target
