Upsolute

[R2D2]

Those of you who read my ramblings know that I have been exploring modding the M271 engine. My C180k is supposed to produce 143bhp and do 0-60 in 10 according to Whatcars measurements of their test car.

I had my car dynoed and was surprised to find I already had 142bhp at the wheels which assuming 22% transmission losses on my auto (see separate threads) means my car now has about 182bhp at the crank.

I have just added a Carlsson Blue Air filter which helps the thing breath and I've started running it on Super Unleaded which also helps. On Monday I am having the ECU remapped by Upsolute who have promised a further 17bhp which would take me over the 200bhp mark.

Given that a C230k (1.8 M271) has 193bhp and does 60 in 8.4secs (auto) I expect that my car should get to the low 8's by Monday night.

Watch this space!

We need before and after plots on the same syno, preferably a dyno dynamics one.

Fingers crossed!

....or my G tech if it ever arrives!!!

You pleased with that?

Sounds good. I have to say I don't really take the 0-60 times with any seriousness.

It's hard I know from expereiince, but without wanting it to be, does it actually feel any quicker?
What did Simon think the BHP increase is? Even another go on the Sanspeed dyno would be better than nothing.

I know what you mean Graham but it seems quieter, smoother and faster. It also seems to use more fuel than before when I hoof it and less on a cruise. I need to run it for a few days to see. Interestingly tomorrow I will get a go in a standard car which back to back should be interesting! Whatever I seem to have reasonably quick car!

Sounds like you are happy and that's what matters Well done

Cheers Pammy. Its seems a remarkably easy way to buy a c230k!!

Just back from testing the standard car back to back with my car with Carlsson Filter and Upsolute remap. Very Very happy in the words of the standard cars driver, yours is much smoother, much quieter, much better throttle response and much more mid range umph :bannana: :bannana: :bannana:
