MK2 1.2 16v Remap?

[MADM4TT]

Hi i know most of you would be thinking what is the point in this.

But i see it as i carnt afford to get insured on (172,182) so 5-10 bhp would still fell a difference.

Decat
Cold air feed
Stripped out- Sub has been removed now.

My Question is Where would be the Best place to get it Remaped Ktec or My nearest RR comany?

Next on the list fella Being Charged £150 from a m8te to get them pulled out resprayed and Blended in Car myt need to be Mopped after wards still i would think.

I can't think of a bigger waste of money on a 1.2. Cosmetic and handling are what you should spend your money on.

£100 for about 1bhp I would imagine.

I no your points and views of this but ive made my mind up on the remap just something different compared to every body doing the same thing.

Offering 6hp runing off a standard car.

I no the price is not worth the gain but i will still fell a difference.

 

[Jason_E]

It's been done. It's still pointless.

You'd be lucky to get that from a 1*2 tbh! :clown:

As has been said, waste of money you could be using on coilovers/colour coding.

IMO.

 

[Christopher]

Really, really pointless. It'll still be very, very slow.

 

[SamP]

Throwing money on the fire will be more noticeable. An extra 6 bhp brings it to what... At most 80bhp? Still deadly slow.

 

[Wezzie]

Save the money for a 1.4 or 1.6 next year when you insurance will be cheaper. I wouldnt do power mods to a slower car if you can buy something faster in the first place.

 

[fearless]

Forget it, unless you can get one free. Buy my springs instead!!!!

 

[Jordi17]

You'll still get overtaken by roadsweepers i would have though

 

[Millen]

All bases covered here really, but even though you are crying out for more power, it's not going to be worth it on such a small engine.

As said save your money till you can afford something that little bit quicker.

 

[barker22]

spend the few hundred quid on suspension and brakes. with yours being stripped also, you will be faster than similar sized cars especially in the twisty stuff.

 

[RSTuning]

I think most people are missing the point, you pay to have the 1x2's mapped and the actual % gain compared to a 1.2 is tiny!

You can feel a good difference from mapping these BUT it needs to be done on the dyno otherwise you could end up losing power.

Get rid of those heavy speakers and it will feel if it's been mapped.
