okie dokie thanks for your help i will probly run it on tesco super 99 ron fuel but i also have a shell points card now and have chosen to get money off vouchers so i can use that to get vpower. Lol another stupid question does anyone know how much it is to get it remapped to run on 95 ron fuel and would i lose much power if it was remapped to run on 95ron fuel?
Thanks for everyones help
Why map it for 95ron? Totally pointless, you may aswell buy a diesel.
That is c**p mate. Don't say a car mapped to 95 RON is pointless.... without reading up on it first.
ok, I forgot to add in that 'in my opinion' it IS totally pointless. Whats the point in buying a performance car if you cant afford the fuel needed for it to run at its optimum performance. Even if the car is mapped correctly for 95ron it is never going to have the performance of a 99Ron set up, although the difference will be minimal.
With the amount of money you spend on a new ECU and getting it mapped for 95ron you are never going to get it back through the price of fuel, as a lot of people find (including myself) that you get a few more mpg with 99Ron fuel (enough to make up the difference in the cost of it)
So, with the above in mind lets say you end up saving 2p per gallon with a nicely mapped dc5 to suit 95ron, how many miles are you going to have to do to recover the cost of setting it up in the first place? And all this with less performance.
So like I said, in my opinion, pointless.
