Magical mystery.... who mapped my car?

[ecain63]

I asked MSL. No evidence of car visiting them. They do Eurocharged and Weistec and both have confirmed that my car has not had a file made by either. Options are limited now.

Have you spoken to Rebellion, might have been them

If it is pulling silly numbers, just tune it down to `stock` figures.....

Or...give the insurers a copy of the dyno readout, and let them decide ?

I went through something similar, having bought a 1 year old C63 and found it flew past the 155mph limiter in Germany (really!). DMS didn't have a record of it, neither did Eurocharged.

Get an ODBII bluetooth dongle for less than a tenner and check how much the throttle opens. If it opens only to 65% it's stock non PP, but delimited as ours was. I think if it's stuck at 75% max, then it's a stock PP map?

I took it to Eurocharged for an LSD (essential imho) and they checked and found it was on a stock map, but had been derestricted to 300kph. Mapping it made a massive difference

Do the dogle's work via an iPhone? Just looked on eBay and all I looked at was android or Windows.

I think you need a wifi one for an Apple product. They cripple the bluetooth.

Rebellion are booked to see it next weekend (dyno and map) but having spoken to Phil he doesn't recognise the car.

Got a dongle already. Used it in my A45. Good thinking using it to check the throttle on my car. Tomorrow i'll take a look.

On the car front, the V5 came today. Previous owner was a 52 year old woman!! Prior to that it was a Merc demo. Hmm! Not sure if mapped now, unless she was a power freak!

 

[stevebgt1]

It may have been registered to her , but she my not have been the main driver ...

Cool! Please post your findings

There's an "older" woman who drives an r35 round my way, she drives the car as it should be!

This is true. It's an avenue i'm already looking at as she has a 24yr old son. Lives in a bloody huge house!

 

[ecain63]

Mother / family found. Shots fired. Awaiting reply.

Initial test result shows throttle peaks at circa 87.5%. This was only a very short run.

So it must be mapped? Or should it peak at 100?

 

[ecain63]

No. Max should be 75% on stock PPP. It looks mapped. I'll get a longer run down later. Informed insurance company (Churchill). £25 premium increase.

 

[abar121]

It's mapped

 

[Felstmiester]

So if the throttles are 75% standard what are they after a eurocharged map?

Be interesting to know because mine is mapped but not a eurocharged map. Wondered if there would be much difference.

 

[ecain63]

Throttle is defo happily above 87% at WOT.

 

[ecain63]

Reason the curve is bouncy is due to traction.
