hi ppl just got back from having the zs180 remapped by matt reidy and OOOOH yes ive now got 200bhp and 170ft-lb
wot a dif it has made to drive it, there no real dif in 1st but 2nd is out of this world plus so much faster and smoother, 3rd/4th have more grunt and 5th just dont stop pulling you and to top it off i did a all round trip of 320miles at 80 mph plus the car was taken up to a high speed on the roller 5times and when i got back got 33mpg

i alway run my car on half a tank of 95ron and half 99ron as every friday i refill the tank as i use half a tank per week 1st week it will have 95ron the next 2nd week 99ron as the cheapo stuff isnt great but a 50/50 mix seen to allow the car to run better

Re: zs 180 remap resualts

ok then say there is a vis prob ppl how do i go about checking it and getting the prob sort i.e get a new motor from cos surely if that is then sort ill see an even better performance gain across the torque as it will smooth it out i can only go on wot info i am told and given

thanks for all the comments im gunna look at a new vis motor which one is it likely to be not work as their are two and where is he best place to get them from / price many thanks dave

ps G am i right in thing that if the vis isnt workin great and i replace it then i should notice a better torque across the rev's

rite can see it being the butterfly valve as only fit a new inlet at the start of the year but didnt change to vis motors cos the butterfly valve on my old inlet gave up and i loss a fair amount off power so G chance's are it one of the vis motor if any thing surely if it was the one that opens and closed the butterfly i would loose power so could it be the rear one which open to allow more air into the manifold or not cheers dave
