custom code remap??

[chris060685]

will getting a custom code remap, or similar remap increase or decrease fuel consumption?

 

[EdButler]

Nope, mine went up as with a previous map due to the fact its tailored for the specific engine.

Only if you give it more welly will it go down, the thermal efficiency of the engines is still predominantly the same.

Hi Chris060685

As EdButler has said the fuel economy will be improved,around town driving and motorway driving will see a vast improvement.Once you start exploring how the car pulls and you start using the accelarator more the mpg will decrease.

If you need any more info please feel free to contact us on 01246 455004

think they have a discount on certain maps aswell at the mo, so don't think about it do it


EDIT you drive a scooby + mini cooper so it won't help anyway lol

 

[chris060685]

lol i got rid of the mini ages ago, had a clio 182 then got a scooby which now im p/x for a ibiza cupra, aslong as the mpg is better than the scooby sti ill be happy!!! lol

 

[davels]

yup and with a remap and few other tweaks probably be just a rapid

 

[chris060685]

i dunno the scooby was 305 bhp had the ppp pack on it, didnt really race/compare with a cupra, what do u lot reckon?

My old TDi with 225bhp was still returning 40-45 mpg on a good blast

In your Scooby(As I also had one) I bet your getting around 20 mpg

Your going to get way better mpg even with a re mapped Cupra TDi

If you talking petrol Cupra then sorry I have no idea

 

[chris060685]

its the petrol cupra mate, i was getting around 29-34 mpg from my clio 182 i had last yr so hopeing for about the same with the cupra!

what scooby did u have mate?^^

 

[davels]

mmm., it's a tough one gazjones has got his FR 20vt running damb near 230bhp and it's a little lighter me thinks, rashcupra has a cupra with angel remap to 225, and he posted a 0-60 time here and gaz's is there too have a look and see what you think. Rash has got other mods on now like a full miltek system but he's aiming for aroung 260bhp, he was thinking about a JBS04 turbo conversion to put him up to 300bhp but i think he's diven up on that idea (spare £4000 anyone). still cheaaper to run than the scooby if not as quick tho

 

[chris060685]

thats what im looking for a cheaper car to run but still rapid. got a refund of 577 from my insurance for the rest of the year!!!!!! lol nice 1

 

[davels]

cool nice one i've got to pay mine about that in exess tho

 

[chris060685]

did a quote for a full yr came to about 800 quid i think 3yrs ncb and 3 points, my subaru insurance was.............. £1800!!!!! lol ripp off

 

[davels]

fcuk me!!! mind you i think rash is paying that on his cupra he's only 18 lol

 

[Fez boy]

what scooby did u have mate?^^

2000 AWD with full decat & Tek2 running 280(This was about 5 years ago now)

34K miles and the big ends went

Gaz should be along soon to help with your questions

 

[chris060685]

cheers guys. any one know how many miles you get from a full tank? 1.8t cupra? got like 180-240 from the scoob

 

[rashcupra]

the petrol cupra modded is a bit juicey imo! i dont drive like a nutter all the time :whisle: if i drive it fast but normal (town with abit of motorway) il get about low 20mpg if i drive it hard your talking the teens easy but drive it with feather foot (town and motorway) its about 40mpg MAXIMUM for me

gaz has managed 58mpg in his fr but id never in amillion years be able to do that.

as for insurance! i payed about £2900 for 10months insurance for my cupra when i was 18 now im 19 with 1 years NCB renewl quote for 10monts is £1590

 

[rashcupra]

cheers guys. any one know how many miles you get from a full tank? 1.8t cupra? got like 180-240 from the scoob

for a full tank in my cupra modded i can normally fit about £40 max in the tank and ive got as low as 180miles to a full tank! but normally i get around 250miles to the tank

 

[davels]

gaz got that mpg before he fitted his 4BAR FPR tho me thinks

 

[chris060685]

aslong as i get 250 + from normal driving ill be happy
