yeah well i think ill get an oil change this week hopefully think im going to phone celtic this week try get the map for saturday. Does it matter if i do oil after remap? How do i clean injectors?
Also i have been told that the engine is only used to 115 bhp and 210 lb/ft torque and im planning on taking it to atleast 170-180 and over 300 lb/ft torque. I heard that i will end up blowing the engine.
What parts go eg pistones, valves? do i need to replace them at somepoint?
Also is there a BIG diffrence between the 115 and 150?
Most engines are sort of DEtuned from the factory for a number of reasons. It won't blow up at all, I'm sure Celtic have mapped dozens of these.
I'd do the oil and run some injector cleaner through it beforehand. It's nothing major tbh and far from necessary but you might as well make the most of the remap. You won't need to replace any engine parts for this remap.
There is a big difference between 115 and 150 but as said the biggest difference you will notice will come from the torque. It's an overweight car but mid-range 300lb/ft will feel like a kick in the back of the head.
Also, we're talking PEAK figures here. You should also have a much better power and torque curve, smoothing out and flat spots etc. This results in better all-round drivability too.
