Hello people,
I've negotiated a group buy with Celtic Tuning on their remaps for the Civic 2.2 i-ctdi.
They're claiming 185BHP & a thumping amount of torque to go with it. As things currently stand, it would appear that this is the most powerful upgrade for the vehicle that's currently available.
You may not be too familiar with Celtic Tuning, nor am I really. However, I've been firing questions too and fro and they seem to know their onions.
What's quite appealing is the fact that they remap via the on-board diagnostics port and don't have to crack open the ECU, which if you've seen being done looks a little bit extreme!
Here are the comments from Tony at Celtic....
"I have had a look at the thread upon the website and to answer a couple of questions straight off we can achieve the power gains through a number of means. We design the remap to be safe and reliable.
Our remaps are custom to each individual vehicle altering air flow,injection timing, turbo boost pressure, fuelling etc. We limit the peak torque at around 2700rpm to ensure that there is no clutch slip or excess strain upon the drivetrain (only a few companies within the UK know how to do this as it is a modification outside of normal mapping areas). The
performance is achievable whilst maintaining safe reliable drivability.
We can organise the group buy with the following discounts:
1-2 cars £425 each
3-5 cars £395 each
6+ cars £375 each
I intend to catch up with them tomorrow to round up a few facts & figures. If anybody is interested, please feel free to discuss via this forum. As for technical stuff, any questions that I can't answer from past remapping experience (had past 3 cars Superchipped) I'll put to Celtic Tuning and will post the response.
If I could ask one small favour before I head up the wooden hill to bedfordshire, to avoid clouding the issue with the supplier and also to ensure that we maximise the group buy opportunity (remap as cheap as possible), please allow me to remain the main point of contact between the forum and the supplier. For the cynical amongst you, no, I'm not getting paid commission! (not YET anyway!

)
I have more info available regarding the company if you requre further reassurance of their validity.
