More Torque and power = safer driving

[Nick_374311038]

Hello.

My Mame is Nick Gower from Midland Performance in Hinckley Leicester. One of my customers told me about this site , he said some other member would be intrested in my services. so here I am.

I would like to offer members discounted rates for ecu remapping.

REMAPPING? = Unlocking the power restriction set by car dealers.

ECU remapping is where we re-write the map information in the a cars ecu, this in return unlocks the cars power allowing more torque and BHP. So no more slowing down at hills, less gear changes, and fuel saving of around 12MPG. I remap is 100% legal and we are fully back by the TUV. This will not affect the engine life at all, you would need to tell your insurance about the remap.

We can offer remaps for cars on todays roads.

I am offering one free remapping session for any MOD or member, In return all I ask is for some feedback and promotion via this web site and members. I will also offer upto 30% discounts on all remaps for members. With full money back if your not happy.

My own tow car is a Zafira 2.0DTI 100bhp standard, for a standard 2.0dti engine I was very unhappy with the power output, up hill I was forever changing down gears and a trip upto lake Bala seemed to go on for ever, after 3 hours driving I felt drain.

After the remap the car feels totally differnt, more of a joy to drive. with the new power up to 140BHP with another 60Nm of torque to hold the speed up the hills with out changing down gears all the time less fuel used. Overall a much safer drive.

Any questions please feel free to ask.

with regards

Nick Gower

As for same item in towcars section:

Blatent advertising Mr Moderator!!

Etiquette No 6: You may not transmit any advertising or promotional material.

OK it is a blatant advert but at least it is not an underhanded one!! LOL!!!!

 

[Lutz]

Also rather a questionable statement "More Torque and power = safer driving". What if you can't stop if you're capable of going faster?

Lutz as posted in the other thread of the same subject. The chipped motor is not much faster as the rev limit has not been changed. So stopping is not a problem. I suggest you look into what a chipped engine does before making sweeping in-accurate comments. OK the advertising should be removed but you do need to learn more about car tuning if you are going to post an opinion on chipping a diesel car.

The top speed does not necessarily have to increase very much. The very fact that the car is going faster than it would without being chipped, whatever the actual speed, will put additional strain on the brakes and suspension components.

For example, the 1.9 diesel engine that Vauxhall offers in various models is available ex-works in 100hp, 120hp and 150hp form (all due to chipping) but the suspension and braking systems are specific to each, hence also the significant price difference between each version. The top speed of the weakest 1.9 unit is 116mph and that of the most powerful 135mph. This alone requires H rated tyres instead of T rated ones.

Lutz....The car is built and rated to the speed the vehicle will do at the rev limit. Now there is no way a 110MPH car will find another 25MPH just through a chip as the rev limit of the 110mph car would have to raise by about 1000RPM. The difference is not just suspension but gearbox and ratios inside the box.The faster car has different wheels with different profile

tyres over the base model.I know possibly more about tyre rating than most as I have to supply race teams with tyre specs and reccomend hot tyre pressures and running temperatures. I also have to know about ratings and tyre build and carcass shapes which I think no one here has even realised can be different even in tyres which look the same from the same manufacturer. The higher spec of the 150BHP car is not like adding a chip to the base model.

The differences we are looking at with a chip is only the same as driving the car down a sight hill which the car is rated for. The Renault we have did 100MPH on the GPS logger before chipping but after it did 105MPH!! Not too much difference. But the big difference was acceleration where the standard 0-60 time came down from 12.7 seconds down to 10.3 seconds! Still not a rocket but it is a big difference.

I know the logger I use is 100% accurate as my bike will do 0-60 in 3.16 Seconds and 186MPH so tyre construction and brake capabilities are important as I am also the UK importer for a European brake manufacturer. Sorry to pull one over on you but I do import brakes, tyre warmers, performance exhausts and datalogging equipment. I also worked in race engineering working with many Indy car, F1, Touring car, World Rally and world superbikes teams and manufacturers.

 

[Lutz]

The number of cars where top speed is achieved at the rev limit are few and far between. For best possible fuel consumption, car manufacturers invariably select gearing such that top speed is well below the rev limit.

As you say yourself, the higher spec of the 150hp car is more than just chipping but if this is done as an aftermarket modification, other important changes are often ignored.

 

[Rich]

Lutz. The reason the rev limit is used is because it is not possible to over rev the engine beyond this point. The car has to be built to withstand the maximum possible speed acheivable and this maximum is set by gearing and rev limit. OK the car may not in normal use get that far but it is the maximum the car will do in even the most favourable condition. ie down hill with a tail wind!

Beyond this the whole spec of the car has to be built to cope with the next level and again it's maximum possible achievable speed.

I have no problem using a plug in chip but I would not go down the route of a full remap. With bikes we use a Dynojet Power Commander which is mapped but can also be pysically removed. These are only mapped on a dyno buy trained operators who I know have full training. Luckily I also know the importer so I have faith in the product as well. So I do err on the side of caution and dont undertake any tuning lightly. But do the research and if the product is good I see no problem.
