Getting the Transit re-mapped

[Ian Flatters]

So im on here today as my transit is off being re-mapped.

 

I'll drop onto mpg in a minute but this is my thought, getting the increase in bhp and torque will reduce engine wear as the engine strain will be less when carrying weight and towing (especially up hills). Thus reduce the risk of damage (not everyday wear) and increased longivity of the truck.

 

currently its a 90hp and i do about 25mpg unloaded, the spec to re-map takes it up to a 118hp and should roughly give me 28.5mpg (this is what the data sheet i was shown said). So its costing; just over £350 (if you send the cpu away) i didn't so it was nearer the £450 mark which still makes it cheaper than any 115hp/125hp i found. The torque increase will be around 45.

 

I will keep you posted as i get on with it and see what the real mpg turns out to be. I spent probably as much time on the transit forum as on here the last month or so:blushing:

It does work as long as you don't use all those extra horses all the time, which can be hard to resist . De catting it and a freeflow air filter would give you even more mpg too

I dont drive fast/ put my foot down tbh, just dawned on me when driving uphill with a load & chipper on that this can't be doing a lot of good to a 90.

What's the company / chip maker, or what ever?

 

I might get ours done.

 

18 Stoner is looking into this, I believe, as well for his new ride.

Ok, so i picked it back up at 11:30am since then i've been driving around my 1st impression was WOW. It has so much more go, got a full load of woodchip to deliver tomorrow so will see how she works under a load. Plus i can now overtake!!!!!

is your transit out of warranty?

Oh yes by a long way its a 2004 so one of the 1st Mk6's. On the plus side it was an ex-citycare one which i knew the history of too. serviced every 3 months:thumbup1:
