Remap Dealer offering remaps

andrewuk · 18th July 2007, 19:20

Was at my dealer today (Trident - Ottershaw) getting an estimate for getting a scratch sorted out (caused by a CAT after only 3 weeks of ownership

) and was chatting to my salesman and he said that they are going to be offering remaps for the CTDI soon which are covered by the existing warranty

I'm not sure if this is something they are offering at dealer level or Honda themselves and forgot to ask - do'h. They've got a remapped CR-v there and he says the difference is pretty big - and once they have a Civic done it should be even more pronounced with it being smaller and more slippery and all that.

Anyway he's going to contact me when they have performed the mod on one of their Civics to use as a demonstrator so I can take it out for a spin to see the difference (and then probably part with some cash to get mine done)!

No info on pricing and what the gains are yet (he thinks around 15-20%) but once I find out more I'll post

Sounds great! Do you know if they'll offer it on the 1.8 i-Shift?

Cheers

at a naturaly aspirated engine like the 1.8 you can not do anything only with the electronics.
if you want more power you have to make serious hardware changes (cylinder head mod, induction system mod, exhaust system mod, increasing rpm... -welcome to the Type-R world!-)
and then for all these mods you should recalibrate the ecu

at a diesel it is very easy: add +10-20% injected quantity offset and/or increase turbo pressure a bit and you are done

(all these changes you can do with remapping the ecu)

(some) Skoda dealers were, or are still offering remaps for the vrs fabia.About the warranty-I believe the cost of the work included an additional warranty running side by side with the original.So although the original warranty would remain,the additional one is there to actually provide cover in the event of anything happening which could be attributed to the remap.Could be worth asking if this is what your dealer is proposing to offer

Hi
I'm considering a superchips (just because it has the warranty) but a dealer remap sounds like an easy option as def want to have a warranty with it (I'm a wimp!). Is there any more new on this as want it ASAP. done 2k miles and 140 is nice but want pottsys 190bhp!!!!

Mitsubishi Dealers have offered re-maps and Performance boxes since at least the 02 Registration, for some of their Diesel Vehicles.
