Mr Whippy.... Is he still doing remaps?

[td163]

I am trying to decide whether to go with a long drive to Manchester to see jammapic or Leeds to Mr.Whippy but I can't seem to find any contact info and the website has gone. Anyone know what's what?

[Poodle]

Mr whippy has pretty much disappeared, even people who have managed to get a response out of him have often given up and gone elsewhere.

[td163]

Really! Guess the decision has been made for me lol. Cheers mate.

[Paul_13]

Highly recommend Jammapic 's remaps

[Uberderv]

Or there is Pro Steve.

[MY95]

He's very busy at the moment so id advise either Jammapic or Pro steve  

[td163]

I think I'll have to go with Jammapic then. Pro Steve is a while away I think.

[Chris HDI]

Sorry to kinda steal the thread, but does anyone have any contact information for both Jammapic and Pro Steve? Any help is much appreciated!

I spoke to whippy (dave) last week, he still lives but is very busy have patience

TD163: you could go to SPtuning...??? Unit 6A Sapcote Road Ind Est, Sapcote Rd, Burbage, Hinckley, Leicestershire LE10 2AU

But the main men have been mentioned, i got a SP map and 120bhp with 208ftlb torque, not to be sniffed at but the price was high compared to the main men

[Chris HDI]

Cheers guys!!

I wouldn't recommend SP tuning, were a lot of horror stories about their maps back in the day. Well, i say horror stories, a lot of incidents with forum members who used their services and had problems or were unsatisfied with the results.

[highwayman306]

Really? my only qualms with sp tuning map was the price! I wouldn't have gone there for anything else as it is too far and was the closest of the remappers... Whippy said that SP used to concentrate on straight line power, i got a dyne test or three with the price but he was just mapping it

got this, dunno if its any good?



that was with standard airfilter, badly needing a service and standard exhaust

[HDi--Power]

Its not about the power, its about the way the file is modified to make the power. Two files can have the same top end hp but one could be damaging to the engine/wasting fuel etc.

[highwayman306]

sound Well Im not happy with the fuel consumption but that could be down to other stuffs

EML is on and MAF has been unplugged lol put another MAF on today so ill see if its better after a run but Dave (whippy) has offered me a good price and discount so i might go to him when i get some cash in

[Poodle]

The power curve looks alright if a bit low, but like hdipower says, it only tells a part of the story. A good maf will make a world of difference to your mpg, or at least it should if there aren't other problems.

[pro_steve]

The reason the power is low is because they miss some of the important maps, I've got one of their maps and I took a look through it.

Basically they aren't getting the fuel flow, so instead they tweak the injector calibrations. This results in a late injection which is smokier and gives higher EGTs.
Also there are no other tweaks made in the map to optimise power via injection advances or fuel pressure tweaks, this is also why economy is no better or worse than the standard map.

[highwayman306]

Sound steve I'm looking at having a remap when money is better. I need mpg and power lol so pootling around is not juicy but when I'm pushing her i notice the power...are you with me? reading doesn't make sense...its early lol

[pro_steve]

Yes,that's exactly what I do, you can have both economy and more power in the same remap, because you're only getting more power when you ask for it. Under normal driving conditions it's a tiny bit better coupled with more low down torque so you can use a higher gear and less engine revs and save some fuel.

[highwayman306]

Sounds like exactly what i want £67.50 is the quote i have, is that how much you do yours from?

Also I'm considering FMIC...so i should probably wait, been waiting too long really though lol

what would your views be on that, do fmic with stage two or just stick with your stage one? Again, baring fuel consumption and fun in mind.

[titch]

I had an SP tuning remap on mine before the ECU played up. So i got an unlocked ecu from Pro-Steve with his 125 stage one map on and the difference between the two was night and day, made the SP one feel like a standard car. My mate had his VW T4 done by SP as well and he wasn't that impressed.

[pro_steve]

I can't do it that cheap, but I am offering £25 off for 306 members for the online service. That makes it £75 (stage 1 remaps only).

Well the stage 2 is great fun, but you're probably going to waste more fuel if you like to get on to boost and make the tyres spin each time you drive it, depends on how you drive and how sensible you are...
