Engine Re-mapping

Speedo · 5th August 2013, 10:47

Saw a guy on the Caravan Channel recently get his tow car engine re-mapped to give more power for towing and help fuel economy.

Anyone done this to their 75 and did it make any difference?

Get in touch with Marinabrian or Bigruss on the forum, either of these fine fellows will do you a 160 remap, plenty of good reports on the upgrade.
Just send one of them a pm if you want a price.

Hi, ask Russ or Brian about the effects on towing, dunno if this is your intention but they can advise on what you may expect to achieve. I know my car was pretty abysmal and I don't tow so can imagine what a 'van on the back' feels like. Post remap, pure joy, well worth doing.

Having had it done (the 160 remap) by Big Russ

not only does it make it easier to tow with. A bit more power & loads more torque for the hilly bits certainly, it makes the car a much nicer drive, smoother power band & sharper throttle response.

IMVHO --- JUST GET IT DONE you won't regret it.
