Default Need a remap after inlet manifold spacers, fuel rail and FPR?

Hello All,

I just had inlet manifold spacers, new fuel rails and FPR fitted. The car is running, seems ok. But i'm wondering if a remap is recommended at this point? I'm driving it daily and dont want to do any damage.

I just had a remap last month, would be a pain to have to fork out again!


Thanks all

Fpr and rails changed - it must be tweaked.

Drive off boost until checked.

Because of the possible change in fuel pressure you need to get it checked. It might be ok but it's a gamble that's not worth taking for the cost of a tweak to the map.

can the op clarify what exactly he changed/did please. eg paralels/adjustable fpr and at what pressure set??

amazes me how some mappers say it needs a remap or your engine will explode and your house will fall down and the world will end etc

The fuel pressure will be different for a different fpr.

It might be safer, if might be leaner. But it should be checked and 9 times out of 10 it needs a tweak.

If you had it dyno'd after a change you checked it.

Would be better to have it check wih detcans also, but not just a fit and its fine. You checked it with a dyno run.

Absolutely agree and that's pretty much what I said earlier, the pressure might be the same and therefore nothing more is needed but go either way richer or leaner and it'll need a tweak to the injector duty map.

In this case it's really better to be safe than sorry, a dyno with det can's would and should show anything wrong though.

Get it checked just for your piece of mind
