I have had mixed responses to this. I am looking to change my PPP back box to either a ninja or tornado. To get the best out of it will it require a re-map?

 

You don't need a remap really, not just for a new back box. If you do remap it the map will make the best of your whole set up, not just the back box.

 

No remap needed, your list of replacements is a little lack luster fella

 

I didn't think you needed a remap when you fit a Different Exhaust. Here's a link to how the Ninja sounds on my Bugeye

Changed my prodrive back box 12 months ago for an afterburner vortex ,have had no remap and car sounds and drives better all round.It cost me £60.00 off ebay

Just changing back box and you will be fine without remapping.

 

unless the car is mapped already it would be wise to get it checked as some boxes are far more restrictive than others and will effect ignition advance.

cheers all. the car is a 2005 wrx with a td05 turbo, 550 injectors, walbro pump, panel filter, de-catted. Prodrive back box. Last time Simon mapped it - 330/332

Simon, when your around the area grateful if you can check it, you know the car well enough

 

YHPM.

You learn something new everyday! The specilaists rule...

 

No remap required for a back box.
The more often you get your car mapped the more adjustments will be made so I would like to think that map on map the same mapper will always find minor improvements.

 

changed the backbox on my own car today.. both 3inch and both after market and boost has increased by 0.1bar..

It doesn't need a remap it needs checking..

ive got a 2006 hawkeye sti with an vortex afterburner and straight through mid section without a map, i bought the car like it and it seems fine. id like to get a panal filter but would that need a remap????

thanks in advance

 

you would get more out of the mods with a remap

am i putting the engine at risk by not mapping?

 

Possibly. Needs checkingto be sure.
