It's done instead of using an EGR blanking plate.
Just a more simple way of doing it. Delete it from the ECU rather than blanking it manually and getting covered in black cack T:
I have the same van as you I did not bother with EGR delete as its electrical EGR not electrical/vacuum and runs EGR cooler just go for a remap and will see good gains T:.... is it 174 or 130 ??
This one is a little more tricky as it requires ecu removal... split ecu and flash the chip direct as it has anti tuning software built in .... this is not a problem T: but costs more todo
I have an ex-AA T4 2.5TDi which has already been factory re-mapped for the AA apparently to 114BHP what sort of improvement could a re-map offer me? Tangible MPG improvements would be what I am looking rather than BHP.
I am in Swindon and could travel to you quite easily.
Cheers nath. drive home tonight was awsum. pulls really well in all gears now and cruised home on the CC at 80 the whole way (didn't drop at all up the hills either).
sounded amazing in the 2 tunnels I go through as well. and you are right. it is the best thing I've done to the van.
Hi,
Im new to the whole T4 craze. I have a 1998 2.5tdi long wheel base. Is there any ting i could do to get a better perfromance from it and at what sort of money? Thanks for your help,
Nathan remapped my bus on Sunday and to say I'm well pleased would be an understatement! My van is a standard 88bhp 2.5tdi with no mods apart from a Decat powerflow exhaust. Just having the remap (including an ecu egr blank) has really improved performance especially at motorway speeds and blasts up hills on half throttle.
If anyone has been thinking about getting their van done stop thinking about it and DO IT!! and make Nathan your first port of call..
going to give it a proper test in 2 weeks driving to CERN in geneva. about 1800miles round trip. be interesting to find out about the new fuel consumption.
Well I had a visit from the man, he did the pump timing as it was hardly on the scale and waved the magic wand over the ECU. What a difference!!
Has much more grunt at the bottom end and the improvement up through the gears is really noticable. Only took about an hour and have to say it is the best mod I have had done.
After parents afternoon at my kids school I decided to have a run up the North Devon link Rd and grab a surf at the end of it. This is where the most difference is noticable, the overall cruising is much improved, especially up the hills. Before the re-map the van got to the top of the hills no worries, but always seemed to be getting to the point where I was going to have to drop into 4th just at the crest of the hills (unless I took a run up at them)
Now though, approach at 60-70mph, hardly touching the throttle and up she goes all the way with no slowing whatsoever, plus if i am doing 70mph up hill and give it a boot full to overtake, it will still pull lovely, UPHILL !!
Was a pleasure to drive, so a big thank you to Nathan and his box of tricks. Also thanks for entertaining the guy that turned up on spec to buy one of my surfboards!! Was great to meet you and Taylor!! Worse thing was seeing you drive away in such a cracking T5, beautiful van!!
If anyone has any doubts about getting this done, dont!! A:
The man came around on Saturday, two cups of tea later and some magic with the laptop.
What a differnce to say i am pleased is an under statement......Was a slugish 88 bhp now it flys, just done 200 up the A303 it pulls great up the hills even in 5th....Thanks a lotT:
Hi, does this mean you can also confirm the van is running ok eg. maf sensor etc prior to installing the remap. I notice that some remappers are adding the proviso that the van has to be 100% prior to install. Would you be able to offer this assurance? Regards, Simon.:ILU:
i will be tapping you up for a remap when ive had my larger injectors fitted. you come down to cornwall much nath?
