'flashing' the ecu basicly means they send the ecu a new map that isnt designed for your paticular engine. its a generic map so all 1.6 16v corsas that go in, no matter the state of tune will get the same map flashed into the ecu. | |

Yeah, a decent company (not saying red dot aren't :lol: ) will remove the ecu, solder a new chip in and do it properly. | |

my freind had a map done at red dot and his car got rollig roaded 6 times before the mapping was finished, but he also said they just flash the ecu ? | |

quote: I assume the red-dot one is just a flash remap, which will just be a map for a 1.6, not a 1.6 with the bits you have. Jamsport (Chipwizards) maps are probably the best you can get for the money, they're done on a rolling road, exactly to suit the mods you have, unlike others, where they just use a standard 'remap' file. | |

You wont get a remap to suit your "own driving" | |

90% of the time it won't even affect your fuel economy that much. | |

correct and no it wont effect reliabitly because a standered engine is designed to cater for all typed of driving syles i.e slow old people, trips down the road to feed the ducks and so on lol whereas is you get a remap it could be made to cater for your perticular driving style as long as you look after engine like you said oil change, good fuel and so on. it sounds like a lot but its not really i dont properly understand it to tell you the truth but thats the basics! | |

quote: so if you use good quility fuels, oil changes every 3k for eg and a genaral filter sevice every 5k and dont care about economy you can get a really good map done ? will this effect reliability then ? | |

Basically when a manufacturer releases a car into the world it has to be able to cope with many different demands in many different environments by many different users all "from the box". For example, the car has to cope with poor fuel quality, dusty environments, poor services and at the same time provide reliability and economy. This has meant that the manufacturers have in essence detuned the engines to cater for all this. So a remap programs your car to respond to your very own driving style | |
