Engine remap

[Mitchell92]

I've just brought a new l 200 limited connect. Has anyone on here remapped there's if so is it worth doing

[mrtn]

No, I have contemplated it but it's too expensive over here and I haven't gotten to send it over to England, might do it once I get the new van. The wagon is already 90 hp and it's good enough and the van is too old already.

It's well worth the money, IMHO.

Which remapper have you looked at? I mainly see Vantuner and Jennifer Rigby doing it the correct way.

Hey I hear that VW is really good at remapping cars maybe they could do it

It's a different thing we're talking about here. There's a de-tuned Focus motor in the TC and they write the Focus injection map in the TC ECU, bringing the power figures to the Focus levels. So it's not illegal like VW's trickery. All the emission rates stay the same or very close to the original limits, well in the legal scale.

That good info, But here if the Map was changed from the factory map for the car then you have still crossed the line.

It was a better joke here,because the whole remap is much hotter as a news story.

No-one's getting hurt, except perhaps the states who tax based on the power output

It makes more sense to tax emissions and it's only legally relevant if you cross the bracket with your remap.

The tax here is so much a gallon so the heaver your foot the more you pay.

The big thing here was the grave damage to one's Green Credibility .

As for the EPA it is more the rules are the rules!
