Exhaust and induction kit remap

[RIC172]

Hi I have a Ktec stealth catback exhaust (2.5") and a Ramair filter (fatty version). Would I be better off now getting it remapped due to these mods or is it only really worth it for more serious mods?

Decat?

I would go to Efi in Runcorn mate

 

[RIC172]

it's none decat mate, think I will keep it that way as I don't want it to get too loud. My decatted mx5 and Saxo VTS were defeaning
Does the car feel any quicker after the remap or just smoother?
Do Efi do rolling road printouts before and after?

 

[imprezaworks]

Its well worth doing mate. Yeah they have a rolling road.

Mines been done there and drives great. When was the belts done?

 

[RIC172]

That sounds brilliant, I'll go there later this year once I've saved a few pennies. Belts were done a few months ago so plenty of life in them still hopefully!

Who did the belts? Think the price is £159 ish. Money well spent

@bloke is the chap to chat with

It was an independent mechanic - have no idea if they had the correct locking tools to do the job as the belt change was organised by the dealership I bought it from but it seems to drive fine at least.

The remap sounds a bargain!

Good thing about the remap is that you see how the car is performing etc. Where you based?

I’m in Leighton Buzzard (Bedfordshire) but happy to travel for the right reasons (a decent remap is an example

 

[imprezaworks]

Defiantly worth a drive mate

EFI in Runcorn or RS Tuning in Leeds are both really good.

Nice one cheers, wish I lived closer to either but at least it’ll be a good drive up there!

If you are prepared to drive up there for a remap, you might as well stop off at Long Eaton on the way and get your limp mode problem sorted.
