Remap at 58 k - Still worth it

I understand the more miles the engine does the more horses leave the stable so is an uprev still worth it?

I've had the car 8 yrs now and still waiting for the original exhaust to die before committing to a new st st one then the tune ( yes i am a bit mean :D )

 

Have I left it to late to achieve the optimum results.

Obviously it depends on how well treated your engine has been over its life, but generally speaking 58k on a VQ35 is nothing. Mine was Up-reved at about 50k with the usual exhaust/plenum spacer combo and the dyno says 307bhp, which doesn't exactly indicate that the engine is on its last legs (touch lots of wood).

 

Go for it, really does make the car a lot better. :thumbs:

That's encouraging DannyBoy ....307bhp. Living in Surry I suppose you used Abbey I'm closer to Leeds so would have to use RS. I wonder how much the final results of the tune depend upon the operator who does it or do you know if the tuning procedure is pretty fool proof and any operator will achieve similar results?

Actually had pretty much everything on my car done by Horsham Developments, and I wouldn't assume from the dyno that it actually does have 307bhp, but it tells me it's probably still in pretty good nick in there, as it compares well with others who have had similar mods done. I imagine the tuner has a fair amount to do with the final results, but in the case of the zed there are only three places in the country that are licensed to use Up-rev, and they're all top notch so I wouldn't have thought the difference would be noticable.

I had my remap at 91k :p

 

I was only expecting a modest increase on the quoted 276bhp from the factory so when Mark @ Abbey told me I had 286bhp I was pretty happy..... then he laughed and said that was before the remap :scare:

 

so, what did you have after the remap ? :)
