I will soon be fitting a scoobysport down pipe,i already have a magnex b/b and non res centre fitted. I have no other mods to the engine such as MBC or filters.
My question is,if after the down pipe i then decide to go for a Tek re-map what would be the differences between a Tek 2 and a Tek 3 ?... i know the 3 is mapped specifically for the particular car but would this give any noticable improvement over a Tek 2 given the only mods to the car would be a full de cat?


LB4

 

I have a full decat and Tek2 on my99- Last owner had it done.

Dynoed at 275bhp/265lb. Pulls creamy smooth from tickover to max power at redline. Can't speak for Tek3, but Tek2 is great. Last owner seemed to think it *was* custom mapped for car though.

 

I enquired about a Tek2 at Power Engineering and they said they'd have it on the rollers for 3 hours, surely if it is just a direct swap or map download then they'd just take 10mins in the car and let you have it back?

 

A Tek 3 will always be better than a Tek 2 because the 3 is a custom jobbie for each individual car. No two cars are exactly the same even from factory, so even though the 2 is a great piece of kit, it is an off the shelf map to suit a group of cars. The Tek 2 map is also more on the conservative side. The 3 will get the best and most realiable, power out of each car individually.

Cheers,

Wrexy.

Get in touch with John Banks. He does a tweaked TEK2 (known as TEK2.5 on here). Would probably suit your needs.

 

Cheers guys ... yeah i think i will contact john once the down pipe is done.

 

How does one get in contact?

 

Who me? See my profile.

 

damn, scotland!

 

God bless the postal service and bubble wrap.

 

not for a custom map it aint no good

 

There's the snag!!

Thought you were after a TEK2?

 

well sounds like a custom map would be better!

 

Bob Rawle at BR Devs also remaps Teks I understand, and he is based in Swindon. Does a pretty good job as well I am told.

 

UHF are you far from Basildon?

 

No I'm not Pete, i'm down your place first thing friday for Pagid Group N
