burbleboy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi folks!I have used the search facility and have been reading allthe info regarding p30, skunk 2 inlets and re maps. Some of u are getting good bhp with simple mods!I have just bought a vti-s with 65,000 miles. Already fitted 4 2 1 manifold, de cat and it already had a rear sports boxand short air filter kit.I thought bout skunk 2 inlet but cost of everything is steap!Would a remap be worth it or should i have decent gainswith what ive done? Im looking to get around 190bhp to be happy!! Whats ur thoughts please?Ta Alastair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetec Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi pal, i have AEBS intake manifold and 5zigen 4-2-1 manifold with ITR intake box/pipe and toyo sports exhaust. had it remapped and i got 185bhp. cost per bhp was very expensive. theres a lot of torque from these motors. at 1st i wasnt all too happy with the mapping service i received so try and stay local so any nitty grittys are easily ironed out in future. vtec is now engaged at 4500rpm. despite the mapping service it pulls well when you can get the power down due to torque.personally i would just go for basic bolt on mods and then re-map.....it will still pull away..invest in some good rubber and your off 1"£££$££"!

burbleboy Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hi!I understand that these things are costly, just wanted the vibe as to get a remap or not!I will contact a scottsh re-map company soon and arrange things, think remap would probably be my best bet as only looking to have a kind of 'sleeper' that will surprise people and handy for overtaking safely..... I would be happy with 185bhp! Decent tyres are on the menu...once i decide if i want to sell the team dynamic alloys (205/40/17) that came with it or go with 215/50/16 alloys!Appreciate the reply!Alastair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuissi Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I suggest that ALWAYS remap after you change any parts (intake manifold, exhaust, etc..)get a p30, p28 or p72 ecu. I'm currently using p28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
