I had a short talk with Zakie few weeks back when he was in Mumbai regarding the Civic remap. I was particularly interested in knowing about the improvement in low end response. I somehow got a feeling that this helps the high end much more than the low end. Seeing your review, it looks like your low end has improved as well. For eg: after negotiating a speed breaker, there is a definite flat spot if you try to take off in 2nd gear. Has these kind of characteristics improved? Reviews on real world in-city driving will be appreciated.

Thanks Smokkin, I know its addictive stuff. Help me source that OBDII Scanner please. Even that was very impressive stuff.

abhinav.gupta88 · 12th February 2009, 23:47

It sure is .
Tried on my car and it was rocking and that was the free version.
The paid version will show better stuff.

By the way Manan , how much did this cost you. and how about the new 0-100 figures?

Yup, It sure is, Costed me around 30k for the Re-Map. I have not timed it properly, But yes did try once, Was getting a Early 9 Second figure, Will time it using the OBDII Software once i lay my hands on the scanner

abhinav.gupta88 · 12th February 2009, 23:56

So what's next? Custom Headers etc?
Lowering ride.
Also what about your ICE?

By the way did not get you.
Early 9 = 8.xx or 9.xx ( sorry )

9.XX. Yup Headers are what i have planned up next, Lowering will make it difficult to drive around, It pretty low already. ICE Well the intake sounds better

abhinav.gupta88 · 13th February 2009, 00:03

Hmm. It surely does. and what about something like S Drives?
If you remember, they are the safest tyres around.

Money well spent Manan.

Congrats Manan!

Heard its impressive.

Wish CRDis also had an option of increasing the rev limiter.

Slight correction here. What you said is true if the car was redlining in the said gear before modification.
Many times, esp in 4th and 5th gear you cannot go beyond around 80% of the max rev range due to wind resistance etc., being greater than the power engine can supply. If you increase the power you can probably go to 83-84% because every small increase in speed requires an exponential increase in power.

So if you heavily modded your car mand made it 130bhp from 100bhp, you won't find any difference in top speed of 1,2,3rd gear, but its quite possible that on 5th gear you can get closer to the redline!
