My Subaru Live Re-Map
06. Aug 2011 at 16:35

A Subaru Master Mr. Andy Forrest has taken a Trip from Scotland to Stoke-on-Trent today to work his magic on a few ECU Live Remaps. Mine was one of them......

The difference is unbelieveable....

First he put on his own ReMap (Base Map), then with a prob up the exhaust pipe plus computers plugged into the car & head phones connected to the engine off we went.

At different speeds from 60 to cruising speed in 4th gear then 5th etc etc......

I have been pushed back into the seat when being a passenger, but hand on my heart Never as a driver.......

I have pasted his webpage incase anyone is interested what sort of things he does Thumbs Up!

Aug 2011 at 17:08 When you think before today, with all the front mount, walboro fuel pump, 05 turbo etc etc it was 256bhp... so a jump of 70bhp straight away is a lot in my opinion, especially on a car that weighs about 1200kgs

Don't suppose he can work that out of an omega without slapping a turbo on by any chance...?

For about £50...?

...thought not. Grin

That's a healthy gain though. Good work. He must be raking it in.

A friend of mine has recently had his engine re-built and he asked us to give him a hand to fit it...

He has a 2 door RA thing that goes like stink, a proper rally car for the road. He's just had it mapped after the running in period, the chap who mapped it has a very good reputation and travelled a long way to do the job, can't remember his name but it may have been the same bloke who re-mapped your car?
His is up around the high 300 bhp mark, if memory serves...

It's not the size of the engine that's important, more the driver behind the wheel.
