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, |

Ya it should be fine, however if its a relatively standard almera like a 1.4 it would be a waste of money for him, if it was a pulsar VZR by any chance then yeah it would def be worth his while.

i would be intrested in a remap on a 530d what would be the power gain roughly and would it put extra load on the turbo and would it efect fuel consumtion, i had a revo chip put on a audi 1.8 turbo before and was told it wouldnt efect fuel consumption but it did, it made a big differece to power but the car didnt run as smooth it used to kind of kick back sometimes after you planted the boot, has anybody out there remapped their diesels and what were the results thanks |

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 ) HTH Ben |

I don't mind paying the cash for a remap, but seriously, am I wasting my time showing up with my 2000 E39 520 2 litre. A few horses extra would be nice, but I haven't made any other performance modifications to my car yet, and feel that without other upgrades (chipped, K&N), my car would only see improvements in fuel economy.

Hi lads, have replied to adrian by pm just there, i have sent robbie an email and havent got any reply. ill be ringing him tomorrow as he was supposed to be getting back to me last monday. If not ill give martin treacy a call in westward. I agree it has to be a live map and rr due to the type of cars we have listed as generics arent really worth their weight on petrol modern bm's. @ireland offline, i believe we met at the agm, no problem ill find out about gains if any for your car,
Thanks all for the interest and the patience!! Ben |

Right i have been talking to martin at autoremap again. I am fed up to the teeth of Robbie not replying to my correspondance and he hasnt gone near a car yet so in lieu of possible problems im doubtful about this arrangement. I spoke to martin and he is still willing to map some cars for us, however he did say that e46/39 petrols are pretty much a waste of time. So if any TD/older e36/34/30 owners are interested let me know if its a goer. Some people dont have much fate in the "generics" but at least martin takes pride in customer service. He also said if people want to get cars rolling roaded and if there are no gains he will refund in full and return car to standard. One other option is Martin at westward but i genuinely havent had the time to even call him. let me know if anyone is interested in the autoremap proposition. Im sorry to anyone who is put out by the TDP situation but if robbie isnt willing to reply to my correspondance i feel its a non runner. |

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 ..... |

Personally I wouldn't be interested in a generic map because of all the hassle of having to get it dyno tested elsewhere. This would cost in total €450+ with no guarantee of gains. I've been told with the generic maps for normally aspirated engines like my e36 M3, all you can expect is a removal of the 155mph limiter and a slight extension to the rev range with an extra 10bhp max. I think gains need to be at a more useable point like 3k or 4k revs where it can be used every day. If you have to wind the bag out of your engine to get an extra 2 or 3% increase in power, it hardly seems worth it to me. AFAIK, Martin at Westward does great work in terms of engine tuning but would be very expensive for a proper live map, with numerous tests. Maybe Chris if you could check this guy out, and let us know the position one way or the other. |

I spoke to someone at Westward when I first started to consider this and they said they don't do a map for my car only a plug in tuning box.

There is still a few weeks to go to the dates mentioned, maybe the guy is seeing how other things pan out in the mean time, putting us on the long finger! I would be more interested in the live session to be honest, try to maximise power through each gear etc. |

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 |

Sorry Ben, I didn't mean to bypass you either. Hopefully we'll get a result, but i'm thinking it would take an hour or two to do a proper live mapping as numerous runs before and after would have to be done to get the best result and I cant see anyone doing that for 350 squids. Surely it's not possible to do 10 cars or more in the one day and not if this guy is as busy as he sounds.

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 Ben

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) Reg Chris

Sounds like a decent setup, seems a friendly sort too, and with the amount of cars getting done he should be on to a winner. So its just a waiting game now for the dates to come through.....at least it seems like a definite go ahead then???? |
