Advantages of remapping a 1.4?
« on: 24 January 2009, 19:13 »
'92 MK3 1.4
I'm not in it for mass power, I'm not that stupid!  :laugh:

Was thinking more of a smoother delivery.

What can you do for it Nick?

^Probably not. Just contemplating. Wasn't sure if there were chips you could put in.

I will let you down nicely...but the 1.4 uses a rubbish spi fuel injection system that basically stops the car getting more power. best option is to fit a 1.6spi unit as there a direct replacment for your current motor or multi point injection it!! Both could be done for a few hundred £

Few hundred? Nah I'll leave it. I thought I might be able to get a deal on the remap for smooth power. It's a 1.4 I'm not looking to increase power. I'll just get some go fast stripes they and a million horsepower right? Oh and the cheap crappy Halfrauds air inf**ktion, that's gotta add 50 atleast! :shocked:

well a chip will be at least £150 and wont give anywhere near the same bhp as a bigger engine!! I have some super power fuel additive if you want...extra 20% power gauranteed! (Gaurantee is valid for as long as the bottle is unopened and your gulable enough to buy it in the first place  :grin:)

Seen some down Halfrauds, NITROUS fuel additive, that's good for 100 HP right? What about M3 mirrors, what power gains can I expect with those?

Hello,

I have never done one of these engines, I dont even knoe what management it uses, I will look into it for you but I dont think I can help you out.  If it can be tuned I dont think you will get any more power out of the engine, just a bit sharper and better running like a crypton tune would.

Yeah, that's what I was expecting. Not looking for speed, just sharpness and smoother delivery. I noticed a much sharper acceleration on my brothers car after a remap so thought I would ask.
