Hello all.
I just thought that I would post my feelings and view of the remap I had on my 2014 insignia 140bhp over a month ago.
Firstly my car is a ecoflex elite with the F40 box. It had 60k on its clock and had no issues prior to the map.
The map itself was done by one of SLT remapping agents and was done on the drive at my home.
The agent did a obd scan of the car to see if there were any issues and then did a quick check of the engine. He then got to work.
He removed the ECU from the car and then separated the housing for it relieving the main board. Step by step he explained what he was doing. I stood by and watched each step.
He then attached the board to his bench which was then connected to his computer. The file was removed and uploaded to SLT in Sheffield. At the time of doing there were a few maps awaiting editing so there was a short wait of 15 minutes.
Once installed he placed it all back together and plugged it back into the car.
We did a trial drive to test for smoke or engine warning lights which there wasnt. He did say that the car would do a regen the next time I went for a drive and it did. I'm unsure why it did this as my DPF was at around 40 percent.
Shortly after I took the car for a run. Got the car to temperature and gave it a good run.
I always thought that my insignia was lacking. Especially when the car was stated to have 140bhp from the factory. Previous to this I had a 140bhp which certainly felt faster.
The performance of the insignia has improved especially at the lower ends of the rev spectrum especially in third and fourth where at 1.4 it doesn't feel like it's going to stall.
It's by no means a sports car but at the lights and on motorway on ramps it pulls like crazy and certainly improves how the car drives. Especially when in the torque range.
As the month went on I had Futher change to test my car and feel the improvement in which it and certainly changed how the car has handled. Especially in 5-6th gear on the motorway. Putting your foot down easily speeds you past the triple figure mark. The long gearing of the ecoflex F40 certainly aids in this.
Now the car is suppose to have 190bhp and 400nm of torque. To me the car doesn't feel like it has 190 bhp but it does feel about right for the torque. I've tried using torque to view how much torque it has and it doesn't seem to show above 350. I do plan on getting it on a rolling road early next year to test this.
Issues wise I haven't had any remap related apart from what appears to be my clutch slipping at 1800/2200. I have a feeling this is due to the pressure plate. So far I've being taking it easier to not worsen the effects. I feel it will be a new clutch at some point next year. Have being thinking of fitting the 195 bi turbo clutch / flywheel when it comes to renuning if it fits..
If you guys have any questions I will be glad to give my views.
Thank you
