Remaps???? - 29/04/2019 16:50
I have been making enquiries into getting my Alfa Spider 939 remapped.
I perhaps naively thought having a remap involved having your car analysed on a rolling road and then bespoke ecu adjustments would be made accordingly to whatever parameters where potentially available?
A special garage I have spoke to, are suggesting they have done all the necessary testing of the same model engine beforehand and therefore the ecu reset is predetermined to give set outcomes and my car does not need/ would not be put on a rolling road?
The Alfa 2.2JTS petrol has a notorious mid range flat spot which I am aware of from time to time and supposedly with a remap the bhp can be improved from 185 to 205, with a similar enhancement to torque curve.
The cost is £300 which seems quite a lot for a an apparent plug and play solution?
Any experience on remaps would be appreciated, as I would very much like to have a little more go in the Alfa (provided it does not upset anything).
Thanks in anticipation.
