I was wondering if there was anyone out there that had bothered remapping their vr6?
I know the quoted gains are pretty poor, but I was considering it as my throttle response is a tad excitable, making pulling off at a reasonable speed a bit jerky....
Don't get me wrong, if I want to have someone at the lights when 2 lanes merge to 1, easy and smooth.
If I want to pull off on a Sunday, smooth.... But that normal speed just means riding the clutch to smooth it out, and my clutch is worse for wear anyway so this isn't ideal.
Does anyone else have this sort of issue? And has a remap helped? What's the economy difference like?
Also what sort of economy do you see?
I tend to use redex in every tank as I bulk brought 4L and it's costing me 25p a tank, which means if I get an extra mile I've got my money back. I try to use 98 fuel as well, although on the odd occasion this hasn't been possible.
Cheap fuel and town driving sees me a mere 200 miles, I've had just shy of 300 doing a long with 180 of those being on a motorway. Having said that from the same tank it did 2 140mph runs on an... Airfield.
In the year I've had the car, the average mpg has settled to 23.3mpg, but I oftten see 16/18 on my 4 mile trip to work.
Be interested to here what others see,
Cheers,
Mike
