Performance figures of a 160 remap

johnnyb44 · 26th October 2015, 18:16

Hi.
I'm just curious more than anything else but what is the official 0 to 60 with a remapped diesel. My auto seems pretty quick and surprises quite a few drivers when driven in anger but I wonder what the actual figures are. I think the engine performs best though between 40 mph and 70. It really flys between these speeds..
Any ideas out there ??

Pushing a remapped diesel hard from a standing start is a bad idea, too much torque applied sudenly when stationary can break things innit....

40 to 70 is a far better test from the cars point of view.

Figures would be nice, and of interest to a lot of us innit...

I clocked 11.75 for an auto saloon, and a little more for the estate....

not too bad for 2t of rolling comfort...

Hi James.
Nice to meet you and your good Lady the other week. As you say flooring a remapped diesel from standstill is not a good idea but I was just curious as to what figures it would be. Do you think 10 seconds for an auto is a little to optimistic ?

Sorry Klarzy. Your post just pipped my question :-) :-)

you may get 10 out of a good manual..... hard on the clutch though...

Very. In fact I'll not try mine now - i've done over 60k on the current clutch and think it'll be time for a new one next year, although it recovered well from diesel fuel ingress while the HP pump was leaking I'm sure it's still slipping a bit if I floor it in third at about 2000 revs. Wouldn't like to to gun it through all the gears from the lights, clutch slip would probably cost a couple of seconds anyway. Maybe with a brand new clutch next year might take it to the rwyb at the Pod.

I suppose you have to factor in the weight of our cars. There's quite alot of lard there to launch it off the mark quickly. If the 160 auto can do it in around 12 seconds whats a standard 116 like.

I know my auto box hates full throttle quickly after the remap and has caused some issues already in the past regarding this. So with a 160 remapped auto I would be careful of doing a 0-60 test!

The last run I timed was 9.6 seconds, 538 feet.
