Where abouts is your mate?

Tidgy · 26 Jul 2006, 10:20 PM

about right mate, bear in mind he'll also need to change fuel pump.

The Pilot · 26 Jul 2006, 10:24 PM

pump will only need to be changeed if producing more the 300bhp....mine runs 300 on 440cc injectors and standard pump at mo.....

Tidgy · 26 Jul 2006, 10:25 PM

true, but runs risk of running lean cos its near limit, for the price its def not worth the risk, plus you'll be able to get more power

The Pilot · 26 Jul 2006, 10:29 PM

also dependant of what fuel is run,no lean on mine at all...sweet as...did hit 330 but backed her down as mods not finished!!......

Tidgy · 26 Jul 2006, 10:30 PM

decat, fuel pump and remap shopuld see approx 330 bhp, as said 300 for none fuel pump but personally as said for the extra cost its def worth having rather than risking

With "the pilot" on this last yr whilst at rcms asked this question about uprated fuelpump with remap an basically said whilst we recommend it not necessarily reqd if running a fmic though depends on the car however depending on the bhp if your keeping the top mount it becomes a necessity, guessing they just map more fuel in to combat higher induction temps/risk of det with the top mount.

Damn it!! There's always something extra I should have when I dont think I really need it

Doh!!

I've been getting quotes of £900 for a re-map... Ouch!!

yeah mate wil be about.

most places say around 650, but then add rolling road time and vat and bang you have £900.

the rr time should be included within the initial remap cost.

fuel pump is only required above a certain level of power, the mapper who did "pilots" car would have noticed if it was running lean & backed the power down to ensure no lean running.

above 300 on the new age sti's so i've been told.

if the maper is having to back it down because of it then kinda answers if its needed.

as far as not needing for front mount goes, it will be needed more than on a top mount, the increased air pressure associated with front mount (air entres engine cooler) means the air is more dense therefore you need more fuel.

not arguing, but i know that pilots car will be having more mods in the future, therefore a fuel pump will be fitted at a later date.

But it is not essential to have an uprated fuel pump fitted at remap time, it all depends on how far you want to go.

If happy with 300bhp, then no fuel pump required, obviously taking the advise of the mapper into consideration.
