Performance figures of a 160 remap - Page 2

Mickyboy · 26th October 2015, 20:53

I think that there is a few different maps that can be applied so a actual figure will be hard to produce, and that in itself may affect it, I certainly wouldn't be using a heavy right foot from a standing start, you might end up ripping the clutch apart, also there are other outside influences that can alter the results i.e. grade a fuel, etc

So is there any point or gain in having the remap if it can cause complications to gearboxes,

You can wreck a standard gearbox if you have no mechanical sympathy!

My 160 is coming up to 250,000 miles now, only had one clutch fitted and that was last year!

Have a 160 map done and then ask yourself the question..
Anyone can wreck a car by racing off the line at every opportunity.

You would not regret it.

Hi Dinky
I would seriously recommend the remap. It quite literally brings your car to life especially if yours is just a 116 auto like mine was .
Well worth it buddy.

The lads are right about the 160map, it really does make a World of difference. I have never tried to blast off from a standstill on start up so can't comment on 0-60 times (although I do admit to leaving folk behind at traffic lights after warming up

) but as mentioned the biggest noticeable gain is from 40mph upwards as if you let your eyes slip from monitoring your speed you will be doing 70+ in a matter of seconds without realising it because it happens so smoothly with no effort.

A huge increase in power

But do not go from a standing start

Could be detrimental due to the torque applied

But from 15mph to 60mph (coming off a roundabout) uphill, mine does in about 9 seconds .... Happy

The downside to the upgrade is that if you use too much welly from a standing start, the wheel spin is rather embarrassing

And not to be repeated... too often

I`m not sure about this, it`s been a while since I had it connected but, does Torque have a setting for this, 0-60? I probably dreamed it
