It just seems silly to spend the money and not get out of it that you can, and at the same time, probably accelerate the wear/damage done to your engine.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Pug heaven I would shut up to be honest mate, no offence by that. Its just Phillip kinda builds race cars for a living  Its is worth getting it remapped as you just wont get the benifits with out as the ECU does not map its self as some people are made to beleive. |

It's a race part, they carry no liability for other parts of your engine of collateral damage due to fitting them, read your warranty.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

If your running rich on your cams at bottem end you will get the same affect. will take longer and if you change your oil regualr might not happen at all, but it can happen |

If you're spending the money on a cam, it's a false economy not to get it remapped at the same time. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Yes, but what they don't tell you is that rough idle and flatspots down low aren't doing the engine any good, and neither is the extra heat at full chat.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

I had an engine in with no air filter for 5 years, it was fine.Until you stripped it down and checked the condition of everything. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

bet you haven't got the ideal Lift @ TDC....I've done it (lumpy cam in a stock engine) didn't idle for shite, did feck all under 2.5k, and ended up with fuelly oil. If you're going to upgrade more than once you'd be best off going for Aftermarket management where the Mapping costs is lower than the o.e ecu (or even free if you're confident enough that you won't bugger itup) ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

was just looking at the mazda build thread and on there you said that crf450 car that did the "306 vs ring taxi" was not dialed in or mapped with cams.I know to get the best out of the cams it needs a map but does it and is it really likely to cause your engine alot of damage if the oil is changed say every 3k. Only asking so dont have ago. Cheers |

I cant belive the things being said in this thread, why bother fitting cams when you are not going to map the ecu to suit, you are only kidding yourself if you think its o.k. |
