average remap cost??

[steve_k]

right then folks, hopefully in the new year i'll be getting the sport remaped (piggyback ecu, maf etc) & i'm trying to find the average cost of a remap.

all i can seem to find online is places offering cheap generic "flash" map, i;e, guy with a laptop & ten mins spare on his lunch break.

anyone know what the average cost is?

doing my nut in trying to find some that does it properly,

What ECU you using?

Where you based?

Most places charge around £100 per hour

Based in north notts, looking at using the moates ostrich 2.0 piggyback ecu,

I believe with the M20 you cant really do that much to them but hope others can post up on it for you.

as in use upgraded cams and so on....

Running a M52 my self and they are great for remapping and so on...

The m20 in my sport has been rebuilt as a 2.6 & has had quite a bit of work already done so a (piggyback ecu etc) remap is the next step.

Not keen on the m5x they belong in e36's etc.

[steve_k]

So, does anybody else have a rough idea on cost in general?

I'm looking for a remap place and all I found was generic ecu uploads for factory set cars. Surely it should be done on a rolling road for a modded car. Anyone had a good experience on a modded car somewhere?

Bit far for me to travel dude, just found that super chips have a place near skegness so might try them when the time comes,

Also there's two rolling roads round here so might go have a talk with them swell & see what they say.

[steve_k]

Just had a look on the super chips site & they've got a place down in new Bedford, might have a word & see if they can help.

Can't hurt to ask.

get a (valver ) in it steve,you just need a lump hammer

I went for a rolling road tuning today. Running a non vanos m50b25. It cost me £250 for two runs on the rollers and the mapping. It got from 194hp to 210hp, a bit less than I expected considering the manifolds an exhaust system that is on the car, and that I was sold that engine and ecu told that it was at 218hp ...

Is it worth chipping it? Is it too late and would need tuning again? I primarily needed the air/fuel ratio corrected but now want a little bit more power.

I have a sale on chips if you want to find out.

I know, been thinking about you

Honestly, how does it work, will it interfere with the tune I now have?

the guy was already paid to do get more power out if it by mapping it, why would you chip it again?

[JF008]

I thought chip and map were two different things?

[DanThe]

The map is on the 'chip' and in your case cost you £250, which company did you use? Its not unknown for 'tuners' to simply dump a generic chip into your ECU and give you a load of fanny about how theyve 'tweaked' this and that blah blah blah

But, realistically 210hp is V good for a standard M50B25 and I wouldnt expect to see much more at all. What was the torque figure?

Get to chip wizard in Manchester Steve, you wont go wrong there, very honest bloke and can map M20's in his sleep

Cheers for that Dan

Any idea how much he charges??

[DanThe]

Best to get in contact yourself, could be anything, more time more cost usually, let him know your setup and he will give you an idea. Tell him I recommended him to you

Cheers Dan, no worries

Off to see a guy called john lamb down the road in clowns as he's got a dyno/rolling road & all I canfind about him online is nothing but praise, so at least I've got two options so far

As said above, your remap will have placed a different program on the ECU's EPROM chip. Removing it and replacing it with a different chip won't affect the existing tune, and you could always swap back to it if need be.

The chip I provide gives good proven gains - I sold one to Zoner 320ise, and he claimed it made his E34 525i feel like a 535i, yet returned better fuel consumption than with the stock chip.

Max hp 210.7
Max torque 198.7 ftlb

I went to Mita performance which is a parallel venture or Minicraft, a Mini racer team/ builder in Haywards Heat.

Extra 20 lbft odd cant be complained about IMO
