remapped ecu??

**Martin T5** · Monday 12th April 2010, 20:21

hi hi,

got me a 850 t5 as a daily run around, the guy i bought it off told me it has been remapped...

i didnt belive him as he said it was 389bhp an ran 13bar...lol

seen a remapped ecu up for grabs but the numbers differ...

mine is 0 261 200 501

an the remapped one is 0 261 203 852

also mine has 9.2 on the top of it an the other one has 6.2

will these be ok to swop over or not?

cheers

hello and welcome to the forum, first of all no offence intended but i would be wary of the claimed 389bhp tbh i would be surprised if it's even 289. but i could be wrong.
13bar = 288 psi so would be more like 1.3 bar.
i'm not clued up on the ecu codes but hopefully someone will be along that does.
any pics of the said run around?

cheers

i no when he said 389bhp an 13bar in my head i had already wet myself crying with laughter...

as said its just a daily for me, my toy is a mk2 golf gti with a 1.8 20v turbo lump from a leon cupra r which is mated to a audi TT haldex 4wd system, soon to be 330+bhp when the engines run in an ive bolted the new turbo to it...

i needed to buy a tow vehicle to pull my missus horse trailer but i have a heavy right foot which i like using so enter the T5 haha...

only payed 500notes for it with tax n test, 202k still pulls like a train though an sounds ace with a panel filter an drilled box...

very smooth ride too...

yup ill get some up in 2min...

Doesn't look like they're compatible, according to this:

a bit optimistic to say the least lol.
do you have any pics of the Volvo, you might aswell show us all your golf while you're at it.
a friend of mine has a gleaming mk2 gti with the s3 motor and stage 2 revo chip, 280bhp he thinks. I have an awesome video of it BUT Racing is not condoned on vpcuk.......
so i will send you a linky by pm from work tomorrow lol

get intouch with hlm hamish about his 150 pounds ecu maps mate worth every penny

**Martin T5** · Monday 12th April 2010, 21:22

only 2 pics i have...

had to fit new o rings in the oil drain into the block as it was spraying oil everywere...

**danny-R** · Monday 12th April 2010, 21:31

a lot of car for the money there mate, shame its not an estate

is it auto or manual? i see it has the reverse intercooler pipework which they changed on older models but it's considered a modification.

i second that remap comment

Yeah, a common problem on the 850s. Done mine a few times now.

**Martin T5** · Monday 12th April 2010, 21:38

ok few golf pics, had i 5yrs an its just been featured in peformance vw mag in march's issue...

picking engine back up saturday, fits perfectaly in the boot of the volvo to haha...

**Martin T5** · Monday 12th April 2010, 21:46

i have emailed HLM to see if the can trace my ecu number or reg against there paperwork to see if they have ever done it...

id like to remap it but trying to afford to the golf back togther is 1st ish haha...

nope its a man box, i did want an esate as they have self leveling on the rear which would be better for the horse box...

**danny-R** · Monday 12th April 2010, 21:47

My mates golf shifts but it's only 2wd with lsd, i bet the 4wd is a whole different kettle of fish so to speak, have you done any quarter mile runs in it?

cheers

**Martin T5** · Tuesday 13th April 2010, 07:55

mine was 2wd an it was stupid fast then, now its just savage...

not as yet as only come back on the road with the 4wd in nov an now ive ripped the engine out...

**danny-R** · Tuesday 13th April 2010, 08:04

i will try and pm you the video of my mates today, it's faster than my volvo but not by much. (same power/less weight).

If you're not too far away, there's a meet at york raceway on 30th of may, Feel free to drop by even if you're not going down the strip. Should be a good day if the weathers anything like last year.
