Getting there slowly

matt_tdv6 · 7th August 2010, 22:11

All built up waiting for a good wash & a check of all the fluids once they have settled overnight

Only had a few hours here and there but managed to get everything i wanted doing

Good man, good to see you getting her sorted.

matt_tdv6 · 10th August 2010, 21:13

Im happy now its all done

Not sure which way to go with a remap though either synergy 2 or a Superchips bluefin as thats whats fitted to my VW Transporter and im happy with it

Id say judging by most people here, if the cars a 115 then fit a synergy at the very least.

Theres some great tuning options and ive seen several of the members with 180ish bhp + with various modifications. Some great results from the diesel engines, that would leave a V6 frustrated with that torque.

My ZT is a 135Bhp so should see a good return with a good remap

Robson Rover Repair · 14th August 2010, 00:42

From my understanding, the 131 is actually a OEM remap of the 115 engine, however other companies will adjust that to closer to 145ish bhp with a remap, it wont see a huge gain on its own.

Again, a roveron box wont add bhp directly, but a roverron and a aftermarket remap will make a huge leap.

Personally i wouldnt remap the car atm, id get the rover ron, decent exhaust and de-cat, decent air intake (eg k and n style set-up) and an EGR bypass, and THEN get the remap. You'd be knocking on 170 ish bhp by then if set-up right IMO and no MOT issues as the diesel doesnt have emmision requirements for a UK MOT.

Now, there's something I really understand. Wish I had a forklift though - it beats doing it on axle stands!

Yes the forklift is a bit overkill for this job
