Questions on remapping

[Hottyman77]

Hi want too remap my ek9 has all you bolt on's whale ***** air filter 70mm thottle body skunk pro inlet. Will have a 421 manifold and 2.25 full stainless system. Just wondering is it really worth it and what's the bhp gonna end up being at. And what would they do. And rough cost? And any body no any where near mid wales too go too

I would drop some cams in first, but be careful on your choice. But yes get your car mapped, a wideband is a good idea too making sure your not too lean.

2.25 inch exhaust? No good for ek9 need 2.5 inch the standard one is 2.5 inch

Yes to a remap. Need a good ECU, though and above that someone who really knows how to map it.
Figures are meaningless as all cars are different.
Don't bother with cams, as there are far better things to spend your money on for go. To make cams work you need head work (very few folk in UK can do this right), and complete valve train. Then intake and exhaust matched to the cams, then ECU..... Talking, to do it RIGHT, 10k. And that's without bottom end strengthening, then clutch, gearbox and drive shafts......

10K? What planet are you on?

Pants isnt wrong, if youre wanting serious headwork, wild cams, ITBs, custom headers etc you wont get much change from £10k

OP...its worth getting a good ECU and remap. Worthwhile gains to be had on a stock engine with bolt ons providing you have a healthy engine in the first place

I live on the REAL world where power gains are real and last more than 2 hours.

As pedro said, its to get it all. A simple bolt-on or "just" cams won't work well enough on their own to justify the outlay, despite what companies various marketing crap says.....

If you skim the head, or want to increase revs, then the intake is an issue, let alone the exhaust and them valves / springs / retainers themselves. Then to increase revs, bottom end should be looked into.

Different cams = different pulses, thus another reason they won't work with a "random" bolt-on manifold / exhaust system and random intake, no matter what brand they are. Waste of money to "stick some cams in".
