180 remap, where and worth it?

Smokey · 18-03-12, 09:55 PM

Since reading matties track car thread, it got me thinking.

I have the 180 with working plenum and vis motors, power flow exhaust system, cat back I think, inner wing induction, upgraded clutch, LSD gearbox, HIDs, oil catch tank, sheddist kit and fitting the car PC shortly, so will be turning my attentions to power.

With these mods, what power should I be expecting (with 104k on clock, serviced/belts recently) and is it worth remapping next?

Where locally can I get it done and what is the current price for remap. What power should I expect after it and how does this translate when driving the car?

Down South then Yes I think this is the best place, but way up north there isnt much for us.
Expensive but if It was my MK2 180 then this:http://forums.xpowerforums.com/showthread.php?t=60109

Or just send your ECU down to Reidy...

Shame Z&F dont do V6 as Marc runs an amazing service..

i would say it is worth it with the ecu running everything on a standard map your not gettin the full potential of the upgraded parts , if you have it remapped you can get a few more horses and a bit more reliability plus you never know the guy might be able to get you a few more mpg wich is a bonus

imo i wouldnt bother, i know of some others, and i did my self have a re map before and after going to santa pod. It did nothing, didnt even gain a tenth or 1mph on the top speed. I know some newer graphs show some small gains but they did back then too. But no'one has ever proven a gain against the clock.
The zs ecu can self adapt to breathing mods and 270 cams so its not like its not running right anyway..

That's also good to know, cheers. What sort of power should I be expecting from the car currently over standard?
