Engine Remap/Chip on a 1.4Tdi

[chewy]

Yeah for the 1.4 its only a 10hp gain, on the custom code web site they dont even list the 1.2

[K.I.T.T.]

Remaps CAN improve drivability (to an extent), but bang for buck wise aren't really worth it on naturally aspirated cars. That' my 2 pence.

What ways are there of making a 1.2 abit more nippy?

[pip_polo]

noz..
race slower cars.

i'm sure a decent air setup and exhaust would make a slight difference.
it'd feel a bit more responsive, but i don't think you'll be gaining many horses with it.

OR you could turbo it?

[jackthelad1990]

I'll email NASA and see if they have any rockets knocking about for the old 1.2!

Things like induction kits and that? Cheers

[K.I.T.T.]

Mmm...even with an induction kit, a 1.2 9n will get walked all over by a 1.0l mk3 polo.

They won't really offer more than 2 BHP, and that's being optimistic.

I do find my 1.2 abit slugish and slow on acceleration tbh, so theres not really much i can do?

[pip_polo]

i wouldn't bother mate.

to get it to gain anything your looking at big bucks, and it'd be easier to save up a bit and upgrade to a faster car.

you could allways try the air system and exhausts though. you might notice it a little bit.

Just carrying on from what K.I.T.T. said, Has anyone fitted a different box? Like the 1.9tdi box?

Also, has anyone got any 0-60 vids of a remapped 1.4tdi?

[more-bhp]

I have remapped plenty smaller than 1.2 ... and there is always a good difference.... ex 5bhp on a 50bhp car is 10% more... that is noticeable...

I've done loads of fiat cinquecentos.... if you race a standard v chipped the chipped leaves the standard easily....

Just my "unbiased" thought...lol

And for the 1.9tdi and 1.4tdi peeps.. you know I do a good remap on any of these for just £195.. if you come to me ...
