Hi All, this has prob been done before had a quick search to no avail.....

Anyway I'm in the mood for a remap but I'm unsure due to the fact that I hear you have to drive your Fab different once remapped!

Can someone provide a guide on what to do and not to do when its remapped

i.e. flooring it in hi gears etc.

I'm worried as I do not want to damage my pride and joy but I'm off to the ring next year and would like to try her round the ring with a remap.........

Sorry to go on but this is the first car which I have had which can be tuned easily........ You can't really get any more bhp from a 60s Punto.....

Thanks all.

Don't boot it from low revs (ie below 2k rpm). Not really any different to how you should drive it standard really

Gentle on the throttle in 1st, a little more in 2nd, ditto 3rd (wheelspin is still bad in 3rd with mine when the revs hit 3k rpm, that's with a Quaife, decent tyres, and a hybrid turbo ) - 3rd gear in the dry generally means you can drop your foot pretty hard

Depending on what you are after, i.e. if you are just making decent progress or if you are caning it, just accelerate with a bit of 'feeding in' - if you start at 2k rpm, and feed the throttle in then by 2.5k rpm you will be nicely on full throttle. Change up at 3.5k-4.5k depending on mood/need, or if you fancy, 5k rpm (not the greatest plan when cold nor if you have the standard turbo as it just gets worked hard (too hard imho), with a hybrid it seems fine though )

You'll work it out soon enough though in my experience, if you get your map changed you may have to find the sweet spots again. It sure puts a grin on your face though

I hear you have to drive your Fab different once remapped!

:agree:

Faster

Like you stole it.

With a standard clutch id only use the 2-2.5k rpm thats available after peak torque lol
