Remapping Day Group Buy- Interest

Ha ha Liam Martin!! Ya thats my old T5, he crashed it shortly after buying it off me!

Car was lovely and in mint order but the slushbox ruined it for me. The V70 when i have the dual exhaust and decat done will make clean sh(te of a standard T5 without the insurance group 18 rating!!

Ya the M3's would be lovely on one i would imagine,

At the last remapping day a friend from the forum got a 02 530d remapped and the results are astounding. So much so if i could afford it i would buy a 530d sport manual over an e36 m3.

Robbie has remapped quite a lot of 530d's, we actually spoke about them for a good 10-15 mins on the phone, he is actually developing uprated intercoolers for them at the moment. Best thing is tell him what you want yourself. The typical bhp quoted for one was skyward of 240bhp. The best was 290 on standard intercooler but this was the e60 530d which i understand to have 218bhp,

I presume yours is the 193 bhp version?

The fuel consumption depends on how you drive it. on my chipped diesel it greatly improved everything including economy on a like for like basis. Im only too sad now that i dont have a diesel to bring to the mapping day as they are by far the best for results and transformation ( closely followed by turbo petrols )

Ben,

Count me in as a definite (unless something mad happens). Either Saturday or Sunday is fine. Has to be the live map and rolling road though.

cheers.

Cheers, appreciate that .

Ben Chris here do you want me to pop over to the guy?

I have a client in Newcastle just down the road from where that guy is maybe I can try and prise some info and or comitment out of him?

just let me know

It might be that the prospect of 13 or so cars pulling up is worrying him. Had a look at his page and the roller he uses seems to be rather serious and time consuming. (wheels off car mounted -has to be done proper as the wheels will spin at over 200km/h - off the roller remapping back on again or if he does it on it it still takes an  hour prep .....   

That was pretty much my line of thinkin. My German heritage always clashes with that aproach here as we always plan....and plan and replan german habbit

Remember Ben saying that /TDP is doing a lot of race/ralley prep for the forthcoming season.

Ben what's you position on this dont want to step on your toes

I had typed out a big reply and lost it. bloody computers,

Youve hit the nail on the head paddy, robbie said he had a lot of commitments with motorsport alright,

Chris that would be great if you could call into him, ive sent another mail now,

I understand guys i would much rather have the rolling road too and its probably only worth while with this.

If he wants to wait a week or so to have it would that be ok with everyone? Id rather feb to keep it as is to avoid disruption.

I think i added in another thread there my moby is 087 2337835 and i can be got on that anytime if anyone needs me, (mods please leave in)

And thansk for all the feedback lads

Cheers

Hi all

here the promised write-up on TDP and my meeting with Robie.

They are verry eager to do the group remap for us. I had the list of cars with me to check if he foresees any issues we should be aware of. He cant do Bens Volvo as volvos ecu's need a full day to do.

All other cars are ok. He pionted out that all pre 98 cars need their ecu's removed to get them done hence they will need 2 or 3 hours all post 98 ones get programmed trough the OBDII port and take 1hour.

We did not speak about individual gains as that partlym depends on the state of the engine as well as anything else. But he reckons that every 2litre of engine volume give a 10 to 15BHP gain on petrol engines and smoth out torque.

The cars oil should be in good condition and the clutch has to be SLIPFREE in 4th or 5th gear past 4000RPM.

He also showed me the B&B he was talking to Ben about wich is just around the corner fdrom him.

Timing wise he reckons that it will be somewhere between the earmarked weekend and the first two weekends in March as latest dates he is still waiting on two race dates for final confirmation of our dates.

I saw a Nissan Skyline being rollered while I was there. And the Dyno is an absolut peach. As the wheels get taken off and the car gets mounted directly onto it there is no slippage or movement of the vehicle while in it. The place is huge and will fit all cars inside his garage. Also it was packed with racepreped and masivly tuned Jap machinery he promised he clears that out till than.

I had a verry good feeling about the company and I for myself rather wait a wwekend or two to get it done there as they seems to be specialised on that sort of thing. (performance tuning)
