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
or buy word of a 180 owwner that has noticed a difference, why cant people take other people's word. there are 3 or 4 people on here that have had the remap done and all have noticed a difference. isnt that good enough??

You'll never be able to please everyone, there will always be sceptics regarding certain areas of the KV6. I too was sucked into this train of thought until I snapped out of it and decided to find out for myself. I soon found out that there was no evidence to back up the claims that it was fruitless in search of remapping.

As the old saying goes 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating'.

as matt said all work is done in front of you, my fueling was all over the place and timing wasnt great. matt soon sorted this out, and mapped the car from that point. although i didnt make as much power as mick, as my plenum has issues i still noticed a difference and im very happy with the result.

people spend £400 for an exhaust system that will give you 5bhp but are reluctant to spend £200 on a remap that can give 10-12 bhp. my question is why??

I keep meaning to hook up my LC-1 wideband and do a few logging runs to see how my cars fuelling is doing, but always forget all about it when i am back at work

I am wondering what the results would be if somebody butchered an inlet, removed all the VIS crap and then redid the map from scratch as a proper non VIS map.

I downloaded the demo for WINols although you seam to be limited with it as you cant actually use it without the OBD2 lead, which i have still not bought lol

Matt was intending to do this but would require a car for a couple of weeks. They do have a Rover 75 KV6 but the engine was found to be duff.

If you wish to remove all of the vis system why not use an 800 manifold? Not sure what ecu the 800 uses but it can't be far off the same specification you are describing.

As for new plenums I am waiting on the results of Lunar Racing's R&D one, but there is no project plan for that, so no kowing when this will be, if ever.

Also with the demo you cant export a file so you cant make one and put it in your car you need the full version.

On another note I did 2 TF remaps today and dyno'd 2 others which had been remapped by superchips and one other comapny who I wont mention as the may frequent this forum.

Both cars I dyno'd made less than stock power and both were over fueling a lot in the top ranges especially.

The two cars I remapped made a good 10 and 12bhp respectively and also had a good fueling ratio of between 12.5:1 and 12.9:1 compared to 9.2:1 of the other companies remaps. some comapines think that by adding fuel you get more power this isnt true in most cases and this is also another reason generic tunes shouldnt be used as the superchips map may have worked on the car they did it on but every car is different and so is the enviroment so its no good tuning a car in germany and saying this file will work on all.

The customers were happy and the two cars that were tuned by the other companies are now coming back to have there cars properly tuned so they arent over fueling and they can make some decent power.

The graphs will all be avaliable on the .org forum soon as they wanted to post them up so feel free to look in the TF section and see what other customers have to say about my work.

IMO they should have included a few "demo" files to play with, the same way that datalogit and such seam to
