[MV6 MAN]

hey guys, wounder if somone can help me answer my question, can i remap my MV6 on its standard ECU as i know for some cars you have to buy a different ECU, need to no soon, as the car needs to be on the rolling road at the end of feb really, wanting 260bhp approx.

[zirk]

The 3.0 ECU use an Eprom for its Hex look up, so yes, the remapper will just write the new map to a new Eprom, or give you one of the shelf, not sure where your going to get 260 BHP from though if using a standard 3.0 L set up.

thanks for that, and im not running standard setup, at the moment its in Torque Technique for a complete custom exhaust system, which should bump it up quite abit and its having fast road cams in it as soon as it come bk, then it will go for the remap so it may even make more than that to be honist, ive seen some standard omega's go for remaps and come out with like 235bhp so i should make it

Is this link any good to you?

If your changing the Exhaust set up (and the Manifolds) together with having the Cams out, might be worth doing some gas flowing on the Heads, larger Throttle Bodies are another item to look at.

235 Bhp (or up to) seems the claimed figure by a lot of the re chippers for a standard Engine, more like +5 - 15 Bhp, or 20 max on a good Engine.

thankyou for the link but the rolling road is where i will get my car done, as i dont like buying somthing i can not garantee it will work or performe the way it is said to do, but thankyou anyway.

[MV6 MAN]

hey chris way ahead of you on that one lol, when the head gasket were changed (a while ago) the head was skimmed and gas flowed so that has been done already, it was then fitted with a cat back system but i have now ditched that and started again, even better with mainfolds and to fish off with the cams, what do reckon? 

[zirk]

Good luck with it, sounds like your be spending some cash there, Ive played with a few re chips on the 3.0 including some explod eproms with some interest but never knowingly on a modded block.

As said if its been Gas Flowed would be worth looking at widened Throttle Boddies.

Will be good to hear your results when finished.

i will post back on this page when its done to let you no, could be anytime in febuary

I suspect if you ever do manage that sort of power, which i reckon will be unachievable (if the rolling road isn't overly kind to tuners ), the bottom end won't last too long...

indeed.. especially considering you would need to be the wrong side of 7000 RPM to make that sort of power.

Agreed. you would need a straight six instead of a v6 if you want to tune it for a lot more power.

[MV6 MAN]

ar there is always people to put downers on situations, the bottom end on the v6 will be fine, and its about being different rather then being the same as everyone else, people do more stupid things to other engines then me, so asking 45bhp more out of mine should'nt be to hard, need to live a little peeps 

[MV6 MAN]

and to add ive managed to pull just under 190bhp out of my redtop corsa b, with not to silly mods, yes the internals have been changed on it etc, but still 3.0v6, there is way more power you can squese out of it lol

[jtypecav]

The Omega 3.0 lump in the Ascona is running cavalier 2.5 management (not a swear word here honest!) and is a steady 256bhp, with only custom manifolds and xorst by Pro-speed in Cardiff.

The 2.5 cav management is relatively happy with the extra capacity and flow so perhaps a chip is not required in light of other mods you could do first? I know the stock manifolds choke the engine something chronic from trial and error. We roaded it before and after and they were 15bhp in their own right.
