Remap over 300bhp

Discussion in 'Mechanical - Engine, Gearbox, Exhaust etc' started by gary.lev21, Jul 17, 2014.

  1. Hi guys I'm looking a remapping my Megan rs. I live in Cambridge but work in norwich, my local tuning company is super nova tuning based in Griston I've used then for all my cars but they haven't actually tuned one before. They only do custom remapping so it not an issue but I just want an idea of not enough / too much so I know where I stand.

    I've got a decay pipe being made up also to fit, I know it won't make a massive amount of difference but still.

    If anyone can give me any idea as to expected boost pressure AFR ect just so I know what's right and wrong ?

    Sorry to be picky but I do work in motorsport just need some kind of idea ... OCD
     
  2. R26/250?
     
  3. Drive the extra to RS Tuning.
     
  4. Yes....
     
  5. Which one R26 or 250
     
  6. Doesnt change the answer ...

    Goto RS tuning :smile:
     
  7. Haha...Andy bond.
     
  8. Sorry using my phone it's a 250... In know you will probably slate me but I'm going to use super nova because I know there work is good they work with the local Bentley dealer also there heavily in to motorsport autogp and formula e, I do have confidence in them but I just wanted to know rough specs.
     
  9. You shouldnt need to worry about the specs. The guys will be able to work it out.
     
  10. At the risk of sounding stupid.......what's a risk pipe?
     
  11. Hi Andy have you also used super nova tuning ?
     
  12. Harpo, no idea.... why ?
     
  13. stage 1 is around 1.5bar on the 250. iirc you should be getting around 290-310bhp with a decent map.
     
  14. Mj57, thanks great help :smile: hopefully I'll be making those figures. With some pops and bangs from the decat that should be fitted by this afternoon.
     
  15. No Gary.

    I do have evidence of multiple tuning companies having issues with the megs though. Claiming X amount of power and delivering X - alot, or delivering power and it being lean and / or knocking ( detonation )

    I am trying to help although you might not perceive the "help" as that.

    I wish you all the best.
     
  16. I'm open to anything, and I do appreciate the advise given from all. All the maps are custom made so I should just be a case of getting the afrs in check after making 1.5 bar then seeing what numbers it makes. I'll keep you guys updated maybe even some pics :smile:
     
  17. Sorry meant to say decay pipe as stated in the op but I assume decat was meant ?
     
  18. Yes, I meant decat. I'm using tap talk on my phone whilst at work :worried:
     
  19. With the best will in the world - are they going to develop a new map based on existing just for you and live map it on rollers ? That is going to take hours and hours tweaking. Its a little more than looking at AFR as well. Monitor det/knock. I guess the guys will know this.

    Other thing is the meg ecu is quite smart. It will pull timing if it wants so sometimes the power is there at the start and then it drops ..
     

  20. Gary , do you work for , or associated with Super Nova Tuning ltd ?

     
  21. Ok I understand and see what your saying I just want what's best for the car. Maybe I'll give rs tuning a call. Unfortunately not Andy ?
     

  22. I might beg to differ Gary.

    A chap who is a director for SuperNova Internation , which to me looks like a trading name for Super Nova tuning Ltd called Gary Leverett - AFFIMI Technical Director @ Super Nova Tuning ltd just happens to sign up on a board after he is made a director on 15 JUL 14. Mentioning that they are great etc.

    Its coincidence possibly I give you that - just a bloody good one.

  23. Change line 18 of your website @ sntuning.co.uk

    from

    <meta property="og:locale" content="en_US"/>

    to

    <meta property="og:locale" content="en_GB"/>

    It will help locate you.

    You need to work on the wordpress theme a little too. A few bits dont fit in the relvant section on Chrome .

    On this part of the site :
    http://www.supernovainternational.com/news_video/index-article.php/Super-Nova-forms-partnership-with-GAD-Tuning-23/ you mention a £5million insurance , but on http://www.sntuning.com/ its £10 million.
     
  24. lmao i personally think excellent work andy. The lads been rumbled
     
  25. Soemthing didnt seem right to me from the first post to me either...

    If this top notch tuner is asking you to seek advice on a forum about afr & boost etc. for their refrence then for me it would start alarm bells and I wouldnt be comfortable using them.


    If you are genuine then apologies and my advice to you would be RS Tuning in Leeds... the 2hr 40mins drive there from Cambridge is well worth it !!!
     
  26. Nice one Andy!
    I'm gonna come over from the Netherlands just to map my car and the RSTuning exhaust, whenever they come back in stock lol
     
  27. Certainly a worry that a tuning company doesn't know what AFR to be looking for. I suspect this is another one of those remapping outfits who just supply generic maps. I've seen some bloody awful ones on cars I've had in to remap.
     
  28. With you on that one Dan.

    My car when I got it had a remap on it. No idea who from but was running sub 10.5 AFR on WOT. Made something like 1.2bhp more and 2ibft more power.
