My car was previously mapped but isnt no more, what happens if....
Hi all,
I spoke to the previous owner of my uk300 to ask him a few things and found out that my uk300 had been previously running 400 plus bhp till it blew the engine, he rebuilt the engine but it still has the original ecu, i have had it on rollers who say it now has standard bhp (215)
my question is... if i take it to be remapped will this cause complications for the remapper or will everything be ok and it will be fine to remap as normal?
cheers chris.

I would imagine it would be fine to be mapped as normal, the mapper should be able to take advantage of any upgrades left on the car that a standard mapped ecu cant account for.

I dont know what was on it before the guy didnt say but i got the feeling that he liked playing rather than giving it to the garage to do the work, maybe i should call him and find out which remap it had on it then do you think?
its just i dont actually know the guy i just had a few questions so found his number in the receipts and rung him lol

With the ecutek there is open source software that allows the diy mapper to have a play. The ecu you have now though is that the one he was using to get the alleged 400bhp? If so, the ecu wont lose the map with an engine failure unless it was reflashed back to standard.

just what i was thinking
for piece of mind i'd get someone to map it again
like someone has said you should already have the licence so that's half the cost covered
IF , of course, it has been mapped.
plenty of mappers to choose from
bob rawle,swindon
zen,northampton
andy F ,scotland
JGM, london + areas
pat herborn ,midlands + areas
