SCOOBYD00 Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 Who can do a remap & what are my options on remapping a STi V3 to UK fuel. Optimax & Octance boost will do for a while.. Will I loose power with the remap? How much... ?
dave_morgan Posted November 2, 2004 Posted November 2, 2004 You shouldn't loose power with a remap, no. Just have a safer car. Depending on the map you get, you could increase power. I have no idea what options are available for the sti3 though - sorry. Of course if you stop using booster, then the fuel will have less calorific value so you'll potenentially loose something, but not much and well worth it to avoid a big bang !! Get a knocklink first though, so at least you know what the engine is doing! HTH, Dave
sKunk Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Get a downpipe replacement at the same time and use the remap to unlock the horses
the squiggle Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 Well if your happy with the cars performance then go for a Dastek unichip which can be live mapped to alter your timing to UK fuel and generaly free up a few extra ponies. About £600 i think If you are planning on going for bigger Horse power in the future then an Apexi Power FC, GEMS or Motec will be better suited to your task. Betwenn £800 and £3000 A third option would be, again in the modest performance gains bracket, is the Scoobyecu. Problem is they are as rare as a gold coated jobby. About £100 The V3 would be happy on Opti + Octane Booster but as the wise man Kartman said get a Knock link to monitor engine activity to ensure all is well when the right foot becomes leaden Grant
