Result from Reidy Remaps!

[SticklesMickles]

Its easy enough for anybody to "fudge" a rolling road result if they know what they are doing, hell, even pumping up the tyres for a second run will give different results!

People should never get hung up on figures to an extent, the main use for a rolling road IMO is to judge your mods, travelling from different rolling roads and getting different figures means nothing, its better to pick one, and use that one over and over again, to see if your mods are having an effect.

The Subaru and Evo lads are generally numpties in this respect, preferring to go to "Place X" because they will get a better result over "Place Y" a completely ridicules practise, me personally, i would prefer to go to the one that's known for offering lower figures, as the chances are, you are probably getting real results and not fudged results where the rolling road operator held the handbrake on a little bit, or never fully backed off the throttle for the coast down to affect the calculations

Nothing wrong with remapping a car IMO, but a simple "fuel map optimisation" is never going to give what i would consider "good" results, unless the map currently in the car is not giving good AFR`s for the current mods/engine spec

Diesel remapping/tuning is a slighty different kettle of fish i had an old vectra derv that used to run 1.35bar boost, that was pretty nippy, although i was using about 1 head gasket per year LOL and killed a head, plus a turbo

the last place i went to, and peterzs will back me up on this as he went with me often have civic type r's there. he said all the type r's they get in only run at around 180 bhp and never above 185 bhp on his rollers. even though honda claim they are 197 bhp when they leave the factory. my zs that mg claimed was 177 bhp ran what it was susposed to run, so whats up with these honda's??

Hi guys its Matt here,

I have been reading this thread and i can see that there are some people doubting my work. All i can say is feel free to come down and put your car on my dyno and il dyno it and map it in front of you you can see me sorting the airfuel ratios out and watch the power go up.

I have seen maps done by other companies and it seems most companies dont understand this ecu so its no suprise if they dont get good gains. most just increase the timing and say thats it all done.

But you can control the vis and you can get power from sorting the fueling add this together with a bit of timing and your looking at soome good power.

one thing i will say is that no car has been the same on the dyno the plenum and vis plays a big part in the torque and power delivered and it being setup slightly wrong will give odd torque figures.

Feel free to ask away.

Cheers guys Matt

I assume these remaps are done with a new ecu installed?

as i was always told the standard MG ecu is unmappable

No with the stock ecu and the ecu is very mappable. and through the obd port as well which most people will tell you isnt possible.

You just need the right kit.

aboard Matt, glad to see you here and answering questions which is what we need.

Why has it took you so long to do this?

When can we see one of your mapped cars at Santa pod or on a trackday etc to see if your mapping actually works?

The only way you will gain any trust is by real time recording etc

I disagree, he has mapped several KV6's now, every owner has reported an improvment in mid range which is where it really counts.

The only "garage" who seems to specialise in ZS's seems to find faults that the drivers didn't know they had.

Until customers start to report that their Reidy remap hasn't made a difference I will believe that it has.

I dont understand what you mean by why has it tok me so long to do this?

I will be at santa pad from the 31st of july for ultimate street car and will bring my mapping kit along although mapping the zs 180 for max power can't be done unless on a dyno anyone who says it can is just looking to make money not provide a service.

Although there is a dyno at santa pod for this event.

At the end of the day i dont hide anything you can see every map being changed by me sat next to the car on the dyno then watch me load it into the car and do another power run, the cars are never done first time and sometimes it takes up to 15 times for me to be happy I cant get anymore.

Cheers Matt

Matt when funds allow I will be heading your way I've heard enough to make my mind up and to be fair the extra power will be nice but my main reason would be to get the fueling right as I understand this can be thrown out with mods!
