Ecu remapping
Anybody had it done and were the results worth it.
can get my car done for £170 claiming an increase of 30% bhp and fuel improvements. Ford Focus C-Max 2.0 TDCi 136hp 136bhp up to 168bhp 320nm up to 382nm

If you want better performance , just do what i did and its a lot cheaper. Take it to Halfords Autocenter and get a fuel system clean. You`ll be amazed how much difference there is. Mine used to sound like a bag of spanner with no oomph until i did it. Now takes off like a stabbed rat and its only a 1.4 Toyota

From what I know, these tunes basically do away with a lot of the measures that are considered when the OE tune is created.
Things like emissions compliance, hot/cold starts, cylinder pressure limits are not considered, so if you ignore these they should be able to pull more power/torque through. Not sure on the reduced emissions claims that go with these though.. more power normally equals more fuel... Best bet is to make sure they do a power run on the dyno before and after the changes are made... I would want to see the gain with my own eyes. |

right ecu remapping just optimises the fueling and timing to your exact engines requirements, some also raise the boost a little too.
They also usually remove or turn down egr usuage so make engine run better. If done by one of the trusted big names REVO, Superchips, etc it will have had a long devlopement period and wont harm the standard components or the clutch ( most diesels weak point) Its a no brainer for me, best thing ive ever done ( ibiza mk4 fr tdi) |

I've done a fair bit in this field (kind of a hobby) and worked with a number of tuners here in the EU and North America. A GOOD and i stress the word GOOD remap will be alot more than £170. You would normally be paying circa £300-£500 dependant on supplier for this application.
There are plenty of knock off maps circulating, a quick google search will show this can be done for less than £100 with a cheap remap tool, laptop and a flash file. The only thing I would say is you pay for what you get, as with most things. The large companies will provide the below in a diesel remap; 1. Cold start protection. 2. Overheat protection 3. Boost limiter 4. Fuel pressure monitoring @ the fuel rail 5. EGR burn modifications (dependant on the application) 6. Increase in MPG 7. Modified throttle response 30% is a big claim although also achieveable. The Vauxhall 1.9 CDTI's comfortably go from 150bhp upto circa 190bhp with no problems. This is on standard hardware of course assuming the clutch is also in good health. The modern BMW diesels react really well and you would see circa 25% increase on them also with no problems, sometimes even more. If you research thoroughly and talk to the company doing the work, and are happy with both of these then by all means good luck and enjoy the extra ooomph |
