Tuning i20N Engine & ECU Tuning Discussion

Ah, do they. I don’t think any of the U.K. guys do, except for Courtenay Sport that is. As far as I’m aware all current remaps require removal of the ECU and connection directly to the board so it’s not something that can be done remotely.
i think there's some OBD support, i don't think the ECU needs to come out either, i've seen TRS attaching the cables to the ECU behind the battery

Oh, ok. The U.K. guys I’ve spoken to claim the OBD2 connection doesn’t work.

yeah i think it soft bricks the ECU right now hahaha, but there is certainly something in the works, MT Tuning were messing about with the port earlier in the week and autotuners tool uses OBD2 and they have results from tuned cars so it's all a little bit uncertain

N75motorsports seem to have an option for 'remote' tuning.
 
So... last few posts deleted.

You guys start fighting over numbers like you're 5 years old, start reporting each other, and then complain that mods interfere too much...

We can keep this informative and constructive, without name-calling and whatnot... right?

So, I have had a look at their website but I’m still not sure how remote tuning actually works. Do they send you a pre-programmed OBD2 dongle - or a blank one and you download software onto it - or something else?

This link explains it in a bit more detail :)

It becomes pretty expensive then given you have to buy their OBD scanner to put the tune on your ECU and you also have to send them the data for them to adjust their generic tune to suit your car - so it’s also quite involved.

Aye, it is that.

Reality is, going faster/modifications = $$

If you live in the middle of nowhere I can see the appeal of a remote tune but if you can get to a tuner with a dyno that would be a cheaper, and better, solution IMO - particularly as the N75 tunes seem pretty tame.

anybody got their car remapped?
There are a few people on the FB groups not sure if they are this site though. One got 251bhp 410nm torque, this was a stage two map with downpipe,sports cat, intercooler.

on my car I've got downpipe, 200cel cat, gpf delete and intake. I wanted to know though how reliable the tunes have been

A lot of the UK dealers offering the tune have got them ready for customers, I think a few have got a few things others don't such as stop/start permanent disabling or exhaust flap control. I think the general consensus after a few 1000 miles in multiple EU countries is that the tune will generally be reliable. I haven't heard of anything going bang yet, put it that way.

Klasen also did it, or may they are the developer. But I find it very expensive for a simple flash map! The map is not optimized on street or dyno individually. So a simple flash map should be around 350-450€.
 
you lose your tune like any car lol
But will it brick the ECU too?

It has to be so that you can reinstate the stock tune and then flash the tune back yourself or it's a waste of time. That's what I had to do with my MX-5 ND 2L and I used to sweat each time in case it messed up.
