Has anyone had a 84ps remap?

[xtpv]

Has anyone had this map on this engine? How did you find it?

I’m thinking about potentially remapping my measly 84ps t6. from shopping around it appears most predict large gains from around 83bhp to around 175bhp, including Pendle who predict 155bhp,

From research they all mention that it is the same engine as a 102ps, however it is ‘tuned down’ now I don’t know how true this is but my concern is a gain this much could cause issues later down the line in relation to reliability etc. Of course I also realise the 5 speed gear box isn’t as robust as the 6 speed or again am I just thinking into it to much?

Don’t do it is the general consensus. Gearbox and turbo can’t take it

Remap Pros And Cons for 84PS

We are looking at buying a 2013 t28 van, but its only 83bhp. I've been told they are as slow as a snail and quite thirsty as you have to hammer them to keep them moving at a pace. So a remap is the answer, as this is going to be our family bus it won't be driven like its stolen. We aren't after...

Me & my lad both have 84ps vans, his is a T5 and mine an MY18 T6, both full camper conversions.
Mine almost never drops below 40mpg and on a good run its towards the 50s.
I often tow a motorbike trailer with one or two race bikes on board, no problem whatever.
Whether they are "as slow as a snail" is down to your personal perception, we both find 84ps perfectly
adequate in modern traffic and we cruise at normal motorway speeds without a problem.
The suggestion that you "have to hammer them" is simply untrue.
Mathematically if you were to double your 84ps to 168ps, you'd only get 25% more speed anyway.
Personally I'd strongly suggest you first try the van as standard, if nothing else it familiarises you with
a reference performance for any future remapping.

@wayne Cooper I've merged your thread with a similar one so see the earlier posts - these may help.
You could ring Revo or one of their dealers and ask them - @BognorMotors is one who may be able to advise?

Revo won’t map the 84ps Euro 6 because of the Turbo issue. Sorry

 

[wayne Cooper]

Thanks for reply, i heard that Revo had turbo issues in development trials on the 84 hp. So won’t do it as unreliable .
I see a few other firms still offer the conversion.
just don’t find any complaints in any threads .. of failures ?

I guess it all depends who's pushing the pedals.

Wheelspin away from every junction and red line in every gear and things will be put under strain. Enjoy a little extra torque now an again, exercising some mechanical sympathy and you'll be fine.

Just because it's remapped doesn't means it's producing double the power all of the time, only when the foot operated potentiometer is wide open.

Totally agree, I will plod with the van done my pushing peddles hard In years gone by.
The van has already been chipped I’m about to buy it . Just trying to buy some confidence , and IF I’m looking at an iffy purchase . Always difficult I know, it’s second hand.
thanks for input reply.

I have an 84ps which i got remapped via a pendle agent. Its made an amazing difference and will now go up hills easily even with full camper conversion. Just dont hammer it all the time, using the torque when only needed and should be fine

Thanks for reply, how long has it been done if I may ask. . Is it the euro 5 or 6 ?

Only been on 4-5 months. I dont hammer it as from standing the acceleration wasnt too bad, its more the midrange when u need tonovertake or go uphill that it makes a massive difference. Not really noticed any change in MPG. Its a euro 6

How is it now you are approaching 18 months since the remap? We are consideing getting this done too, but we are worried that we might overwork or burn out the engine / gearbox / turbo etc.

Surely there must be advice on what other parts can be upgraded to overcome the issues associated with remapping, i.e. a new turbo etc.?
