Remapping 2.0HDi 90 engine

[Coco]

Mikep1973 - If you are in/near the South West then Tor Garage, Haytor Vale - speak to Alex and tell him I sent you. If you are Midlands or North speak to Paul at RS Tuning in Leeds, that's where DuamoHDi is going and they have a brilliant reputation.

zlomjo - the company that sells the equipment used on mine is "Alientech" and "Kess". You can find them on Google, they may be able to put you in touch with someone who operates near you.
A generic map is one that has been written to cover all models of a specific engine st up as in the original in the car. It makes no allowance for the different uses that people put their vehicles to. Some sit on a motorway all day with very little load, some are loaded full and are up hill and down dale all day working hard but the same engine settings are used for both. A better option is to get the map written or adjusted for your own requirements.
An intercooler on it's own will benefit the engine as the air supplied to the engine will be cooler, helping keep temperatures down and denser, providing more oxygen for a better burn. This will be an academic difference as I don't think you wold notice the difference on it's own.
An intercooler is needed if you increase the boost from the turbo

If anyone is interested I am looking into the possibility of fitting a 1.6hdi Intercooler into my 2.0l HDi berlingo. As such it can be mounted in the same place as the 1.6, and I should hopefully be able to do a reasonably neat set up. Its not going to make such big gains as Duamos FMIC but if I get round to it and team it with a map etc I think it should be a worthwhile mod. I Have the IC sat in the shed at the moment and Ill probably look at stating mocking up next month with a bit of luck.

Using the 1.6hdi intercooler sounds like a good idea, should make for a neat install.
I know from previous turbo experience that an intercooler on it's own will make no difference (unless the air sensor/temp sensor is after the intercooler, in which case it may sense the cooler intake charge and the ecu may adjust the fuelling according to intake air temperature).
But the intercooler will make a difference when you turn up the boost, as the more you compress the intake charge the more it will be heated, so the intercooler should allow you to run more ignition timing advance at a given boost pressure, and hopefully make more power.

[Chris86]

Thats the plan fingers crossed, that Intercooler and a few other small tweeks, then get it mapped and hope for a reasonable gain!

I got my remap done in Leicester,a place called lion garage, its the siemens ecu, think it was £150 +the dredded, clutch has been fine. i also changed the brakes, only cos i had a set knocking around, i fitted 206 gti 180 brakes, but the standard brakes are big, not much smaller than what ive fit.
