Hi all,
New to the forum today.
Very interested in this re-mapping thingy.
Would like any views on having our Tucson done.
In particular i liked the info HDi fun gave on the kia ceed some time ago, would appreciate his views on the Tucson.
Also hdi fun you mentioned a sympathetic remap.
Should i specify any particuler requirements for the remapping or do they do a set standard. And how do i choose a reputable provider?
I live in Huddersfield West Yorkshire.

PS someone in another furum warned against using "kwp flashers"
is this a method of remapping that should be avoided??

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks.
 
i dont know what results the tucson will give.
most remappers give a generic service to the model. in this case you dont get much choice in the matter however. some of the bigger one will do a custom remap for you to your driving. adjusting the torque and power curves so you get the best gains.

as for the kwp flashers never heard of them.

will have a look around and see what i figs i can turn up.

Hdi will proberly be along later on
 
ok had a look on celtic tuning and superchips. theres two versions of the tucson 2.0 engine a 04-06 111bhp version and the 07 onwards at 136bhp.

i went with the 111 version as both these ompanies support this one.

celtic tuning: Standard 111bhp 192ftlb
remaped 150bhp and 259 ftlb

superchips

Stanard 112 bhp and 182 ftlb
mapped 140 bhp and 217 ftlb

a link to superchips graph can be found here please note that superchips have measured their torque in Nm so multiply my 0.738 to covert to Ftlb
 
Hello - welcome to silly land. Firstly, KWP flashers are to be avoided unless you really do know exactly what you are doing. They're devices which allow you to remap your own car via the OBD port. Increasing power and torque by 30% is not just a case of winding up every parameter by 30%.
I have no personal experience of the Hyundai diesel units but I do have a lot of faith in Celtic Tuning's ability to get the best from a car.
By sympathetic I mean a remap that does not eat up every last ounce of 'slack' left in by the manufacturer, thus severely compromising reliability. A sympathetic remap will not damage your car in any way provided that you are sensible.
By which I mean;-
don't work it hard when the engine is stone cold.
Keep the servicing up to date.
Ensure you're dealer or independent agent is using quality oils, or supply your own (beware - lots of so called diesel specialists really do not understand modern diesel technology and will fill anything with some cheapo 15w/40 mineral oil)
Allow some cool off time before switching off a hot engine.
All of this is common sense really, and applies to standard cars as well.
You can have your car mapped any way you like by a good provider. Don't automatically just go for the biggest on paper bhp figure.
I do rate Celtic Tuning very highly. Give 'em a call and speak to Graham or Tony. They'll be able to explain things in intimate detail.
 
Hi and welcome to TorqueCars. Its great to have you along. I agree with HDI's point about KWP - unless you know what you are doing you will break the engine.
 
That's exactly what the KWP devices are. It's not the devices that are the problem themselves, it's the fact that designed a fuel / ignition / boost map is highly specialised. You wreck an engine very quickly if you don't know what you're doing. Or, render the ECU unbootable which means a trip to a main dealer for a firmware reflash.
