custom remap

advinnie · 21st July 2011, 07:05

Hi every one can any one tell me what reall sort of increase in bhp and torque i would see if i got my mg zt 190 a custom remap? I've all ready had a 200 cell sports cat fitted with a free flow exhaust plus a green cotton panel filter fitted and drilled a few hole in the airbox not for performance but for a better sound but i may fill some of the holes back in cause the nosie is a little bit loud altho throttle response has increased but acceleration seems to of decrease at certain rpm's.

About 10 -12 bhp, Normally Asparated engines dont respond as wll to remaps as forced induction engines do. However it will probably compliment your other modifications and smooth out the power delivery also.

A remap would cure this problem, as the amount of air getting in has increased then the fuel/air ratio may not be optimum ie running too lean!

Thanks for the info rockafella

The only problem I see is that remaps are about £300 ? About 10 bhp is not good value for money?

Ok i see what your saying 10bhp for £300 but Will that extra 10bhp be noticeable and what Will the torque increase to and would it be noticeable? I want to squeeze what i can out of her but i don't want to go down the route of fast road cams

My 190 was remapped about 5 years ago with a superchips remap.With its induction set up and exhaust i noticed a difference in the midrange being a smoother torque curve,its willingness to pull more cleanly.Dont expect a huge difference,but a nicer more freer drive.The last time mine was rolling roaded which was a good number of years ago,it was showing 204BHP with its mods

Had my ZT190 remapped at a Superchips place. About 6 years ago

I hit 206bhp on the rolling road, so a gain of 16bhp.

TBH, I could not feel any difference, but with such a small increase, it's doubtful anyone would.

One thing I did notice, was the shove when the Vis system kicks in at around 3000rpm is barely noticeable now. So I guess there's more urgency below 3000rpm, which can only be a good thing.

Here's a copy of the RR print out: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...s/IMG_0001.jpg

Was it worth the money? No, is the simple answer. NASP cars can only gain at most 10% increase.

I have however found another place that charge only £150. Tempted to get my SLK done, that'll give me almost 300bhp.
