M47 engine BHP question

goltho · 13th October 2021, 15:25

I'm being told that a 52 plate Club SE CDT has only 114bhp to its name. My old 54 plate facelift Connie was originally 131bhp before I had it remapped, and I had always believed the baseline figure was 131 for all M47s.

Was there indeed such a low-level 114bhp spec and if so, is it mappable? Thanks.

Dougie.

I've had 114's and 131's, the 114's I had mapped to 160, the 131 I found adequate but more driveable with the map.

Good to know the 114's upgradeable to 160. I found exactly the same as you with my 131 - adequate but much more alive with the map.

Got the car yesterday (sloooowwwwwww), got a seriously excellent remap today, it's like a resurrection.

Awesome. Many thanks to jamiewelch.
