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.

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??

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.
