[Shotgunsjay]

probably been asked a million times,

my car is standard but will be getting a itg panel in the future,

im after, more bhp, torque, better mpg and maybe a little increase on the rev limeter,

whats best? remap, groupN, superchip?

i dont want exhaust and decat......

thanks

 

[mini-valver]

Remap, hands down.

37 is easy! Into the 40s on a good run easy enough too, I tend to average 42mpg on the motorway at 70 on the cruise.

 

[Shotgunsjay]

lol i defo need a remap then something must be up...

 

[d4ve86]

its easy to get 40 on the motorway but i usually get about 30mpg or less!

its hard to get good gains from the 182 engine without spending a lot of cash, im going for induction, exhaust, decat/cat mod, matched inlets and the RS tuning remap and see how it goes after that, only other engine mod i will consder is Cam's other than personally i dont think it is work it.

 

[Shotgunsjay]

motorway i normally get between 32-39 nothing more tho, and driving round normal roads struggle to get over 27

 

[d4ve86]

that sounds about normal

Paul Murray Of RS Tuning is a member on here, I do believe there is some club discount. Re-map is around £300 iirc. Driven a 172 with his re-map, power delivery is smoother than standard.

driving normal (by all means not slow) i get an average of 36mpg. 27 is shockingly bad! must be thrashing about most of the time

 

[kully]

remap/ecu upgrade is your only option

nope i dont, nice n steady, higher gears at low speeds, sticking to the speed limit and still i struggle to get better than 27mpg :dapprove: im sure a remap will sort this out

 

[MRBILLYUK]

My average on my 182 is around 28mpg , was the same on my 172 .

 

[si_from_earth]

I get around 38 if I use the motorway to work and back with a little local running about. Otherwise its about 33-34 (but I drive like a pensioner sometimes)..lol

 

[Shotgunsjay]

hum all sounds a bit suss these average mpg over 30, on the motorway maybe....

 

[Diesel_Power]

I manage about 28mpg in my 182 too, anything above and your just not drving it properly.
