Start off by going on a diet Johnny, your van would go a lot quicker if you weren't such a lardy arse......

i ran 2x transit tippers 07 and 56 plates and used a plug in chip is a bit un tidy under the bonnet but shift like hell both standard 100bhp 5 speed box there are some cheap ones on the net only paid £195 each with a full load and big chipper or large ifor trailer neither one used to struggle think it puts them upto 145bhp my old shape transit used to move aswell with one plugged in and they are slow as hell normally i might still have a spare one knocking about as i sold the one tipper without it as have just brought a 6.5ton iveco daily.

had our 06" 90/350 chipped to 115hp from 90hp by a mate at ford one evening.

also blanked off egr valve and stuck a huge cone air filter on her.

definate increase in torque and power.

relatively quicker too.

Costs about £300 for a proper ECU remap and rolling road test

20-50bhp increase and better fuel economy!

20bhp was the most he could turn mine up before requiring bigger injectors,intercooler, turbo etc etc blah blah but just the 20bhp makes a huge diffrence for the torque!

i drive a 51 plAte, 125bhp (standard) trany mewp. when mine go's in for service i get a 90bhp one.

i can definatly notice the difference!!!

we also have a 12 plate tran tipper. my mewp has loads more guts than that!

 

remaping is the way forward unlesss its an older one than you can wazzz the pump up and crank the turbo!

I think Ian Flatters and Testcricket101 had theirs done and had good results. It can be done by post in one day.

 

I think I ran a thread on this last year but can't remember.

Back to the TV Girls thread then....

Hi Johny try googling vantuner he can do a full remap by post for £150

There are alot of tuners out there we do it too with laptop and the vehicle in front of us takes around 2 hours moslty dependant on the ECU fitted and the time it takes to read the file from the ECU and to upload the modified one !

 

you can average 30 hp increase and 30 - 50 Nm increase over standard power all dependant on the vehicle !
