Hello!
Time for another question that I've been pondering. I'm unsure on how to go about my ECU.
I've practically altered my MCS to the point of being a JCW (minus the head work) and figured I would tie it all together with the JCW programming on my ECU.

But then I started thinking....

Should I -
1. Flash my ECU with the JCW programming.
2. Keeps the stock MCS programming and have it tuned.

OR, and I'm not 100% on how remapping works, specifically, is the base programming important to the end goal. To clarify, will a remap be more beneficial if I have the "better" stock map on, such as the JCW? Or will it be altered enough that the base programming doesn't matter, and I can keep the MCS programming.

Thanks in advance!

 

Dude, seriously you have to provide more information about your car. I "kinda" think that I understand vis-a-vis FMIC/CAI/DP/etc...? I have done all that (see below) without a tune and will get Way's exhaust manifold before sending my ECU to NM. I have no illusions as to JCW-hood.

A remap is a remap. A remap is good. If your engine is an N14, you can buy an Alta Accessport and remap to your hearts consent!

Cheers

 

I honestly am kicking myself for forgetting some of the obvious info for those of you that do not know what I own....Sorry about that.

2005 MCS R53
15% KAVS Pulley
JCW 380cc Injectors
MSD Ignition
NGK BKR7EQUP Plugs
JCW intake

I really need to add those to my profile/signature.

Once again, apologies on the lack of information.

 

No probs.. Just trying to point you in the right direction so peeps can help.

 

Get a REAL tune!! I have the JCW tune and while it's ok it's just that OK. You should be able to get more out of a custom tune.

 

You're always welcome to send it to us for one of our quicktunes for $275. It's a basic map for the mods you have but you will really see an increase in driveability and smoothness. With an RPM bump if you want, throttle response improved, and a few more HP.

 

Way, How does your compare to the JCW tune?
