hello der lads, its a big day for me 2moro, my boyfriend is taking the car for a remap on the power fc.

i would appriciate it if you could share your experience, when u prepared for your remap?

does weather condition, tyre pressure, type of fuel you use etc important. i use two types of fuels, if im gettin late for work Vpower but i prefer tesco 99. after a map does it matter if i use either fuels?

thank uuuuu xx

stop using "txt spk" please, you've been told its not welcome prior to this, again.
use the same grade of fuel for optimum performance, stick to either T99 or Vpower.
Not a lot you can do about the weather, tyres should always be optimally inflated.

also, you really ought to try to post things like this in technical as they are technical.

We are happy to help but please do your bit in using good old fashioned English and in the correct sections.

Blimey, does it really matter where the threads been posted, it's a relavent Subaru topic. And if you didn't know it pretty much sucks to be English at the moment, and yes I am English. Put ur muzzel back on n get back in ur pen.
**** me , what's up we some people

Hope He's taking some ear plugs for that exhaust lol. Take a full tank of fuel and make sure its the stuff that you are happy to fill up with day in day out and stick to that type.

KareenaBaby

If you take the car in running on its normal fuel, in my case Vpower then they will sort everything else out for you when your there.

Luckily they are used to adverse weather conditions etc so you will be fine.
They tend to like you better if the car is clean

RB5 Boyo

Just what Johny693 said, and also make sure the car is well serviced, oils, coolant etc topped up and all ready for whats in store

You will throughly enjoy the car when you get it back

KareenaBaby

lol ye that exhaust good luck to them both,

the car got serviced yesterday new oil and plugs

Again, just make sure it's running perfectly, and everything's spot on the way you want it mapped. Obviously it'll be mapped for whatever fuel you have in the tank...so I'd try to run it on that from then on.

But you could probably run it on Tesco 99 if you needed to without any ill effects(if mapped for V Power), although the best idea is just to ask the mapper and they will be able to give you a definite answer. With the Apexi ECU you'll have a commander anyway which will let you monitor knock etc anyway, and if you accidentally put some fuel with a lower octane rating in the tank, you'll soon know about it: with the commander showing an abnormal level of knock.

all the fluids are up to date, the only issue is the idle problem that will inspected tomorrrow.

tesco99 and vpower are very similar and no issue swapping between.

one word ****!..i'm guessing it's a fave of yours.

KareenaBaby

very well

KareenaBaby

what can i ask the mapper? like for example what would be the average requirement? if you know what i mean....

that's more than one word

I'm sorry if I find "txt spk" vile, disgusting and (possibly incorrectly) shows a distinct lack of thought.
There was a discussion about this very subject and it was deemed unacceptable, by the masses and then backed up by the administration.
Kareena has been pulled about it before and while I offered advice from the outset, I merely asked for a modicum of cooperation with respect the bbs.

I make no apology, use language correctly or lose it forever.

The VERY best of luck with your remap though - it totally changes the car

It's more important to be polite in my opinion(and probably the majority of Scoobynet), than it is to use perfect English. Most people use some form of shortened typing when they join a forum for the first time, because they're so used to texting, or using msn etc.

Can't say it bothers me one bit...but then again, I just try to get along with people: usually have better things to do with my time than put people down on the internet.

Make sure you put enough petrol in it.......used a quarter tank mapping mine.

I think the main point in there is "excessive "text speak"". I think you will find 2 words will not count as being excessive.

However who knows

ScoobyDoo555

IMHO, it's all relative, but I was just backing up the fact that text speak isn't supported on Scoobynet.

Anyway back on topic - what increases are you hoping to get (what have you got now?)

Dont really want to get embroiled in this but...... I think the operative part of the Section2 quote is 'within reason' Give the girl a break FFS (hope thats not tx speak, oooops did i do it again )I will say no more

KareenaBaby

lol, the car has minor breather mods thats all. the car is fast as it is. just
want it set thats all.

how does the car feel after a map on the power fc? does it feel better than the standard setup?
