Remap/ Chip

[200isMatt]

Evening guys;

Can anyone recommend a chip or remap for my 2001 is200? each car i've had i've had them remapped by motorsport developments/ evolution chips, sadly they dont have a map for my car.

cheers

I know that nobody actually does a re map of the ecu, but cant see why its not do able. most engine sensor work of resistance therefore diffrent resistor would give wrong readings to ecu. wrong or diffrent that is. air temp intake sensor could be modded with a resistor to give more fuel for s start. how many sensors you would need to tweek to remap is up to you but just giving the car more fuel will up the power. Alot? probably not much more power but then how much more do you want? if you want big power go for a charger or get a is300. I was looking to do a 2jz conversion myself then thought no whats the point if i wnated a fast car i would have bought one. pal of mine has a gs300/aristo hybred. hes spent over 4k on the engine and remap. rolling road now shows in excess of 600bhp. But 4 grand 4 grand on a mod on a 1200 quid car. Now he has to up rate the brakes and suspension as well to cope with it all, more bills to come i thinking.

I used to work on a rs focus for a lad he baught ti new for what ever the asking price was 22k ?? he then had bigger turbo bigger cooler bigger exhaust (1000 quid i know i got it for him)700 quid remap car stood him at 30 grand ish when he finished. Hes recently sold it and got a porsche gt3 and wonders why he spent months getting the bus while his car was being modded and didnt just buy a fast car in the first place. Just my opinions of course, but if you got money to spend buy yuorself a little pocket rocket and keep the lex as is. I personally have a rover coupe turbo (with mods) out runs impreza and evo everyday. stands me at 1500 and when i want to cruise i go in the lex sit back relax and drive. thats my way. oh and i also have an old escort rag top for when the sun shine (so it only comes out 3 days a year lol)
