172 Remap

[F172000]

Is it worth mapping a standard ph2 172?
Will i notice a difference or see any small gains?
And where is best to go in the south west?

No. You may find an rs tuner remap improves the car a little

RS TUNER !! job done

I put the RS Tuner 98 RON map onto the car and its SO much better before 5k, you actually feel a pull from 3500 now because the flat spot is gone. Cold starting it idles a bit higher and isn't as chuggy, plus the hot idle doesn't seem to be as rough =]

I can do you a generic for £165. I'm based in Glastonbury.

 

[warwickstingray]

Generic?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Yeh a generic, then checked, if it's anywhere I'm unhappy, then I tweak it but generally it's pretty good.

 

[warwickstingray]

I'll bare that in mind. Your not a mile away and the stories of the RS tuner making the ECU it's own put me off. That and not having a reliable laptop.

I flashed my HDI diesel map fine but I didn't enjoy the experience of doing it myself.

 

[Mr Plums]

Rs tuner proven time and time again if you go generic imo.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Yeh it's certainly a good option if you don't mind the ecu being locked out from any other tuner.

That's the bit that does not appeal to me at all. As most Cups end up as track cars I feel it would be a pants thing to do to the next owner down the line!
