dastek unichip dealers then ? how do i find them, done google search but there mostly up norf

Would i loose my new map if i took the ecu out and left in unplugged for an hour, just wondering??

dave a fair play now i understand this fully :thumbs: i now no what im looking for :D

'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.

complete waste of time. either get a live remap (like jamsport offeres) or a dastek unichip. Unichips dont affect the ecu in any way, they basicly alter the signals coming in and out of the ecu to trick the engine into running how the mapper wants it to.

both are good and the same price although the benefit of the dastek is that lots of places can read and remap it, its 100% removable and the car can be put back to standard.

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

The maps that Jamsport offer are far far better than a flash remap.

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 ?

broster @ jam sport quotted me £450 and red dot said will be 200-250 why is jamsport so much more ? is it diffrent maps ie diffrent companies software ?

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

You'll get a remap to increase power etc

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!

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
