Fifteen year old Saxo, anyone? Although I am not sure that Mrs C wants to be remapped!!:D
12 year old Saxo Charlie 😮
Since I bought it I have taken the useless Piper Cross cone filter off, all it does is suck in warm air from the engine bay, reduce performance and make a racket. Replaced that with a standard air box with K & N filter (cant beat them Lincoln). A little gain there. Then swapped the daft big bore exhaust for a standard box. A little more gain there. Its just had a service (and some suspension mods) at the `Blue2 Garage`, so I reckon it is now some where near back to the 98bhp it should have.
So now with a good base to work from I should be able to make good performance gains this year. Tyres first though. The plan is 4 2 1 manifold, centre section will have silencer (I dont like noisy cars) so some potential gain lost there. Saxsport/Pugsport backbox with 2 inch tale pipe. All stainless. Then a fast road cam, either Catcam or Newman depending on budget.
Waffled on there but this is the point 😮 A generic map on a small petrol engine will not do a great deal. On mine there would be some gain because it is mapped to hold it back a bit from the VTS model but no where near the silly claims I have seen. Actual mods are required. It will be going on for 150 bhp with the mods and a custom map. Which is not to shabby for a little 1.6 8v engine.
