Anyone with a 1.2 had the ECU remap?

[AlexHealy]

As the title says really.

If so, did you find much in terms of gain and top speed, and would you recommend it?

:lolup:

 

[Brett]

I think you'd have to be insane to spend £250 remaping a N/A 1.2 tbh. No body has done it because it simply isnt worth it mate.

 

[RSTuning]

Well worth it actually, more gains than a 172!

:lolup: can i be the first to say o rly!

 

[RSTuning]

Do you want to be the first to look an arse when i post a before and after dyno?

:lolup: sorry mate its just a funny statement!
im mostly laughing at the fact someone has done it to find out!

 

[RSTuning]

No serious tho, it really does make a good difference, +8hp and 8lbft. Massive gains for the size of the engine.

What if he got it done for free?

I would get mine done if it was free, or extremely cheap, being under £50! :clown:

 

[Gally]

fair point hav but surely if your paying 250+ and only getting 8+hp
not really going to notice much diff other than pick up maybe with some
other mods

 

[Reyes]

f**k re-mapping anything thats under a 1.8... Turbo at that

 

[Coby.]

Jamie (R8 FTW) had it done by PMurray and was impressed iirc.

Over 10% Gains on Bhp is nothing to laugh at IMO

Wohoooooo some sense!

8bhp on a 75hp engine is over 10%.. I'd say you'd definately notice it. More than an exhaust or intake that people usually buy for 1.2's.

Someone who is thinking logically

 

[Hazza]

Fair enough it has massive gains, but would u really pay an £250 for just an extra 8bhp?

Probably make less from Remapping an RS and people pay £250 for that

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

If you were planning on keeping the car for a good while, and there was a reason you bought a 1.2 over a 1.4... (Insurance too expensive on the 1.4 etc etc) Then it would make sense.

All other cases no. Why would you pay £250+ for a SS exhaust on a 1.2 though? It makes almost NO difference whatsoever, just makes a lot of noise... Plenty of people on here have thrown money at their 1.2 that you could also say is a waste.

But then you have to declare it lol

£90 for a bonnet bra, £x for a f**king Peco exhaust and you dont think £250 for a GENUINE 8bhp gain on a 75bhp engine is worth it? Yes, you're a tard.

 

[Reyes]

..rotfl

i cant really talk, i did that once but i paid zilch for my zorst and barely anything for the bra. i found that quite funny^

:lolup: owned i think.
apologies for my lack of clio mapping knowledge murray mate.
im sure most people with exhausts and re-maps are into paying money
for them but don't want extra insurance. not cool imo

Mini, get ur facts right first!..

£40 for the bra... and £30 for the peco....

 

[mini-valver]

£70 on useless crap. Another £180 and you'd of actually made a difference. You contradicted yourself anyway.

"massive gains" then "but for just 8bhp".

 

[Android]

if i had a spare £250. id certainly do it

 

[jesus]

for a couple of hundred more you can get a 1*2 engine... 100hp power gain at least

 

[christian rea]

ah hmm im remapping my pug when cams arrive

 

[Andyman]

Not really no, well, unless your in the trade and have the tackle. Then again proper 172's start from 99 quid these days so why bother :rasp:

 

[Stava]

IMO dont bother 8bhp is f**k all, save your money and put it towards your next car or your insurance when your insurance comes down on a quicker car pal.

 

[mini-valver]

So what about the 1.2 boys spending £100 on an induction kit, a set of wheels or exhaust? 8bhp is a LOT to gain on any N/A engine and you will notice it.

 

[jesus]

weight loss is the best method of increasing performance on 1.2's

 

[Gary-Lew]

agreed

 

[Android]

weightloss aswell as remap and new exhaust.. decat whatever a dunno much about them things. im sure would make a decent difference

 

[Stava]

no offence to anyone but with weight loss, re map and exhaust you will increase bhp thus power to weight and all that, but its still not quick, you are still going to get beat by 1.6 pugs and such like. just save a bit of cash and wait untill you can afford a quicker car, you'll love it when you drive out of the garage in a 197 or a type r or whatever takes your fancy, IMO obviously

 

[ditz]

yeah, gave mine 182 bhp

 

[mullen_197]

i had a 1.2 2002 and i replaced the full exhaust with a peco back-box and a bit of old pipe for the CAT then i installed a k&n induction kit and put lighter wheels on and it was well fast

bareing in mind i used second had parts in total costing me 395.00 i would keep up with a 1.6 focus

canny cool

 

[Alastair.]

lol at every1 arguein, so sad.

i agree with you mate

 

[Mark One]

remaps, almost obligatory on boosted cars, almost pointless on NA
