remapping 1.3 Copen

I would be surprised if you got 10 hp just by the re-map unless something is really lacking with the Copen. It can squirt more fuel in but you will also need some more air passed a certain amount of extra fuel otherwise it will get very sooty. So to get 10 hp, I feel it would need inlet mods to make it easier to pull the air in, especially the higher revs. I didn't say more air because the cylinder capacity will still be the same, so in theory how does it pull more air in? Only thing is closer to 100% before the valve closes.

Also an exhaust improvement would be needed to exhaust the gases more completely before those valves close.

I would be sceptical about improve fuel economy. More fuel squirted in means more fuel used. It might be in certain situations of driving. Maybe approximately the same fuel economy would be a more realistic expectation. A good exhaust system can increase it because it lets the engine waste less power pushing the gases out.

I'd be interested to know what the increase is. My guess would be more like 5 hp with no mods.

 

I got figures of about 15 hp increase but that was with exhaust change and ecu re-map. They also offer air filter mod to, the 15 hp may include this. Also I think they swap for a better performing cat. So if those make 15 hp extra, I was sceptical of 10 hp by just the re-map.

And remember 10 hp will be at peak power, 5000-6000 rpm?. at a more driving useful 2000-4000 rpm it would average more like 5 hp.

More torque is good as that is usually low and mid range not just top end.

 

Hello Kevin, since I live in Belgium and looking for a Denso ECU remap, I am curious what tuning company has the expirience to modify this Ecu.
(1.5 + sportcat + air box modification)
