Remap a 2006 260

[HJ260]

I have recently brought a Evo 8 gsr260 and am looking at trying to increase the power is there an off the shelf remap avaiable and what sort of gains would it give me and an idea on cost would be good, Do i need to do lots of work to increase the power i dont want anything massive just around about 300bhp

Any help and contacts would be great im in the south of wngland in bournemouth.
regards

Hi mate. De-cat, 3" exhaust, fuel pump and re-map should do it. Sorry, dont know anyone from around you're neck of the woods who could do it, sure someone will though.

Yeah would straight away do a de cat to get the most of it.

TBH a turbo back 3" removing the CATs will see around 300bhp. If you get the full exhaust and the fuel pump and a re-map id get a boost controller as well. Although whoever maps it will probably recommend that. If you do these things you'll be over 300bhp.

Remember that the car will fail an MOT emissions test with no CATs.

Hi thanks for the reply's Can anyone recomnmend a good tuner i dont mind travelling i just want someone that knows what they are doing and dont have a knackered engine after!!! How do you guys get around the mot problem when you decat a car? If i was just to decat the car no remap or anything else do you think i would feel an improvment?

Thanks in advance

If you stick on a 3" turbo back pipe you should notice a difference

If you dont want to pull the new exhaust off and put the original one on every MOT time and then do the same in reverse once it's passed, you will need an exhaust that has removable parts that will take your CATs for MOT. Then you just whip out the CATS and put the de-cat pipe back in after the test Pesky CATS, maybe save a few bunnies and trees etc, but do nowt for the performance of your motor.

Either that or be lucky enough to find a "friendly MOT tester" but i think these are an urban myth lol.

With regards to the tuners, i'd look here:

Power Engineering UK, high performance tuning products and services for Subaru, Mitsubishi and Ford, including 2 and 4 wheel drive rolling roads
Motorsport Developments - Live Mapping Specialists & The Home Of Evolution Chips
madevelopments.com

Being from Bonnie scotland myself i have no idea how far any of these guys are from you. Maybe someone else can find some others for you.
