Is this guy for real?!!!
Re-Map .. the DIY Route
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I have been a doubter .... not now! Last night my mate, Billy, and I decided to have a play about with the map on the ECU ... he's a bit of a whizz when it comes to software stuff ... and I'm one of the countries best Engineers - so, what could go wrong? Answer - nothing ... it went really smoothly. I wired up a lead, bloody simple lead to make too - I hardwired the connections to the port - the Laptop connection was, of course, simple. Billy had a freeware re-mapping software tool and some generic maps (just the same as any mapper) .... we loaded it all up with the laptop and went for a drive. Billy had the laptop (on his lap, obviously) as I drove the car through my usual daily routes. As I did this he loaded up the generic map options one by one ...... some were awful, of course, and some showed hardly any difference. But a couple were blinding .... holy cow .... the power and pull was amazing. I know what you are saying, what about DET? That's OK cause Billy had a set of headphones connected to the laptop listening for any trouble in that department - nothing we couldn't retard to secure a smooth firing. I think the mappers like to call them something mystical like 'CANS' - Billy thinks that's really funny .... I have connected up a CockLink just to be doubly sure that I look extra kool ..... Sceptic as I am, I didn't really expect too much ... but we went to Billy's mates house (Mikey) who had some rolling road set-up in his garage (he built it himself from old pallets and oil drums) - we popped the old girl on it and WOW!! what can I say? Mikey was drawing the graph behind the screen as I took her up over the 3000 RPM she normally sees - to the mind bendingly hieghts of around 4500RPM!! What Mikey drew was a graph showing that I now have a 750 BHP monster on my hands - I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen Mikey draw the graph myself! I am so impressed. Mikey had a neighbour who is into fuel delivery systems and he had a fuel useage device which he placed between the fuel pump and the regulator - this showed that I can expect to achieve over 60 mpg ....... I have heard wild claims for re-maps before and disregarded them - but this, well, it shows how blinkered I have been! So, there we have it - 750BHP and 60+mpg ...... I have this moment written to the worlds Car Makers and offered my services - I'm going to be a very, very, rich man!! I'm shocked that they haven't discovered these things before - but, Hey-Ho ... their loss my gain!! Long live the RE-MAP!!!!!
