ECU Remapping

[968er]

Now that I have had my car for a month, I decided that it was time to let 9M breathe some extra life into the car by using their remapping service.

Well after a day in their hands abusing the car on the rolling road[], they have manged to give me an extra 32 bhp. Most of this gain is in the mid range and boy do you notice it! Fantastic value for the money.

My hat is off to the Ninemeister and his team for giving my 993 that little bit more grunt

Another hats off here to 9M too...

The meisters liberated 40bhp in my 993 and I can feel it throughout the rev range - with the last 1000rpm pulling quite a bit harder... has to be one of the best value-for-money mods for a 993!

My car was totally standard apart from sound pack.

Anyone an a remap done after other mods such as exhaust, intake etc?

My guess is 320bhp is pretty much the max unless u start changing internals...

pity they are the other side of the country []

 

[kennyboy]

I should really add that my car was apparently slightly down on power as standard - hence the 40 bhp increase. But it seems that any healthy varioram car can be taken to atleast 310bhp.

Re other side of the country - it can be done in a day while u wait...

Warrington is not that far from London[]

Just had a look at their website. This re mapping is very tempting !!!!

Ooooo Will your car looks great - been after a 97 or 98 silver S for a while now...... rocking horse sh*t!! congratulations.

please tell me it's not a manual and it hasn't got red or blue leather?!

Thanks.

A very tempting mod.

I guess it would be best to have done only once any other mods are carried out that may be affected, like airbox, exhaust and maybe even lightweight flywheel(?).

 

[968er]

Yes make sure that you have done those sort of mods before getting the remapping done.

Listen to uncle Mo .........................been there and done it on 993 s no one better.

I bought an aftermarket chip, it made a tiny difference mainly at max revs. Also added 250 rpm to the rev limiter. A live rolling road map is the only way to go as all engines are different.
Best of luck

I don't believe in mail order chip tuning.
You better invest in a driver's training if you want to be faster.

Was very impressed with Wayne (chips wizard??? Rochdale).......at least 4 hours (min)on rolling road...... it was freezing !!!!....made hell of diff.....worth the drive......good day out ... not cheap though

Wayne is a true chipping hero, spent over half a day on my car and fixed the LWF stalling issue (I have a 95 car) as well as making the engine incredibly smooth and keeping all the ponies intact (I changed the heat exchangers (what heat?) from NGT back to std (toastie)) and wanted to maintain all the ponies I captured with the Billet head conversion.

I cannot recommend him highly enough, a true technical Guru on 993's and I do not say that lightly and a totally decent chap as well. Don't even think of going elsewhere

For those of you that have used Wayne do you know what's involved with going back to standard again if you want?

Do you have to go back to Wayne or is it a DIY?

Ian, wayne keeps a copy of original programme and will reflash your eprom, or if you ask him I am sure he will give you two chips, one being his custom remap and one the original, 5 mins to undo 4 bolts, pull the top of the ecu and plug in the new chip. I would have no idea why you would want to go back tho? It is either a good map or not and you will no instantly on the RR so wouldn't know why you wanted to go back? when I changed my exhaust I went back to wayne and he had the original map the map with my big bore NGT system and then he tweaked a new map for the NGT plus original headers (plus main advantage was the solving the stalling and making the engine as smooth as whipped cream) bearing in mind it had already been mapped up to 340 - 350 HP. New heads, cams, valves, exhaust.

Yes I need treatment, no I don't want a modern mass produced GT3, just an old, beautiful, hand produced, hewn from granite, air cooled car with character and GT3 performance (which I now have, but no cash!).

Thanks that's good to know. I agree you wouldn't want to go back but I have wondered before whether you could hence the question. Also my car is completely original with not a single mod (I know I know but I have other cars to indulge spending money on) so it would be good to have the option to have a second original chip.
