YEah newer version of the Isuzu found in corsas, cavs etc. Just been hunting for tuning bits and some guy on astrasport has his up to circa 140BHP! Bloody good considering its 74bhp std! | |

dont waste your time trying to flash the ecu yourself using a kwp2000 programmer etc etc from ebay. The software is usually corupt and the map files you get are sometimes not even for the right car. You'll also have immobiliser problems with a y17dt engine. | |

I know what limp mode is like but my 2L astravan still feels more gutsy. | |

beware there are some known problems with fuel pump ecu's which can put the engine into limp mode. The solder on the joints becomes brittle and breaks leaving poor connections in the ecu . | |

limp mode is literally that. Its not going to be going anywhere fast thats for sure. rev limit is really low and turbo is hardly boosting you'll need to get that sorted asap. | |

The van is in limp mode that im buying, i already knew this as its dirt cheap but it seems very gutless off the mark. Are these engines normal like this or have they alot of go in them? | |

mickey mouse rolling road graphs like but for the money it was well worth having it remapped | |

That was just a boggo standard engine and cooler with just a remap | |

Ian, wow! thats impressive. What bhp did it gain with the mapping? What did it bring it up to? | |

y17dt already has an intercooler albeit a small one. | |

would be interesting to know as the old model could easily handle more power so surely this one must be the same if the ECU can be messed with | |

Is this the '1.7DTi' engine? If so, I know Steinmetz do a tuning package for it. You can do more with it than the 1.7CDTi. | |
