Hi,ok I spoke to superchips about having a re-map on my 260,they tell me they could not get very good bhp gains, only about 4hp more, so therfore do not offer a superchip upgrade. ok can enyone tell me different? is there a company that do offer a re-map with decent bhp gains? cheers Mikehttps://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc26...cons/icon7.gif.
I have my doubts (else a lot of us would have already gone down that route?), but could be proven wrong!!
:cool:
Basically no
Simple tuning agains are really the accufab throttle body & K&N, some have added cold air induction systems to this
Other option is the Supercharger - simple (someone else does the work) but needs a bigger budget
Pulley kits etc don't really gain much below 6000 rpm (not a recommended place to rev the standard engine to)
sounds like Accufab, K&N and exhaust (XPowers etc) may be your best bet?
How much extra horses are you after???
:cool:
Thanks Colin - forgot about the back boxes
after listening to them most of the day as well!!!Quote:

Sorry but the standard map is quite good, thats why nobody can improve on it
If you plan to keep the car save up and buy a blower, an axtra 140 hp turns it into a real sports car, on par with a maseratti from 50 to 99 :) was following a 05 reg along M3 this afternoon he couldn't wait to floor it as soon as the road works finished, one thing he didn't bargain on though was the mg keeping up :D
:ash:~Ok thanks guys,well just looking to take it to about 285bhp,its going in on Wed to have a custom made s/s exhaust,lets have a bit more bark at the back.Other than that she is standard right now.What made me think is there is a 260 so say ex MG press car on pistonheads over in Penarth Wales,I have been over to look with a view to buy it. They said it has had a re-map and is producing over 300bhp,it is fitted with the x power back boxes, and did sound gr8. However it felt no more quicker than mine, and in the bodyworks dept it was not a patch on mine, the colure is so say again the only one in Lilic. So I thought maybe there is a re-map out there with huge gains, seems like a little porky to me maybe? mike.Quote:

280 nice, Once i have my custom cold air feed on i'm heading for the dyno, have an accufab and the x powers, so would be nice to see that figure.
Peter, did you notice any difference after changing the filter arrangements .
