   He is claiming to of remap'd his corsa 1.2 Sxi whilst at work (lorry mechanic) on a laptop with some software he's found....
   
   someones saying, look at the mods he's done, itd make sense to remap it.
   A 30 quid filter and a cheap eBay backbox.

   I myself refuse to post on a site that feels the need to replace an "s" with a "z"
   
   And if members from Sax-p did start posting on there, it wouldn't really leave a good name. I'm sure Simo would say/think the same if members from other clubs (e.g. ZSOC) came on Sax-p just to start arguments!?!

   I cant believe it though.
   Im not the biggest guy in the world. and he's one of these "i could take that corner in my nova at 95mph cos its lowered 300mm" kinda guys, so the club are like if you dont believe it, he'll tell you face to face.
   lmfao.
   I cant believe that club.
   they are all n00bs.

    nowt wrong with getting a remap for a standard car. manufactures dont give the max bhp the engine will take straight from the factory. i have no mods on my car atm. i can get a remap that will take my car from 150 bhp up to 212 from just a remap. my car is a golf 1.8 t gti 20v. the company is revo.

    yes; fair enough.
    
    but your car isnt a 1.2 SXI corsa, and your not doing it yourself on a piece of software you found at work,

    LOL!
    ...
    
    last night member from their club said, where it is taken in alot more air through the cone filter, it was taking in enough air to believe it was a 1.4
    
    It's all standard now tho because he had problems with it being remapped.
    
    or so Im told :/
    
    So I told the dude he best get a 1.4 GT map because he has a K and N filter, and map his 1.2 8v punto as a GT.

    This could well have been done - I have no reson to take a side here..believe or disbelieve..
    End of the day Who Gives a Flying Fcuk....
    
    It could well have been remapped ok but I dont know the ins and outs of what programme has been run etc etc...
    
    But like it says, ok a backbox and filter wont do a lot, possibly might even loose some BHP, as an open filter will get hot which wont be as good as cold air for the car to suck in - the stadard air box would have worked as a cold air feed as it is an enclosed system and unless you just want a sporty noise I would recommend to keep the stadard airbox and buy a replacement K&N/Pipercross etc panel filter to replace the restrictive factory one. I would also rig up a better cold air feed into the airbox - It would have more gains than an open K&N, Im almost certain..
    
    The exhaust which is a 4" Sportex one gives a nice note, my VTS had one when i bought it. This may be a little less restrictive than the stadard one and could possibly give a little bhp more..
    
    As has been mentioned the owner, who i know, is a Qualified Lorry Mechanic and works with DAF Lorries.
    Obviously he has access to computers which are high spec top of the range ones.. If he had the software or was able to get it on one of those work computers then why not try and 'tweek' the ECU and try and get that bit more out of the car?
    
    However it says it was remapped to make the engine think it was a '1.4' but goes onto say he had trouble with the ECU so had to set it back to standard...Now that makes me believe it may have been remapped (although back to standard now after problems) because you will have problems if you dont have full breathing mods such as exhaust system, enclosed induction etc because a 1.2 engine is not designed to suck in as much air asa 1.4, ports and inlets etc will be different sizes and an engine drawing in too much air into the throttle body with few mods will not run right and consequently be most likely slower and more sluggish because it cannot run how it has been set to (the remap..) hence why it now says in a post that it was put back to standard...
    
    Hope that makes some sort of sense but to be honest I bored of hearing about this...

    likely that they either tried a 1.4 ECU to see if it would work.. or balsed it up big time attempting a remap..

    Where do you start? Air and fuel settings would need to be exactly the same for the 1.4 as with the "modded" 1.2. Which is a million to one sort of shot. Also would need to both run the same inlet, cam timing and all the same sensors. He'd also need to be able to right to the ROMs on the ECU, again, not likely as they are ROM (Read Only Memory) and thus can't be altered. so he'd need to change the chip over on the ECU (This is done when any standard ECU is remapped) and he'd need the software to read it, the map for the 1.4
    
    in short, I'd put my house on it being bollocks

    Like what I tried to explain, hence the reason why I said he may have done it but then apparantly had problems so changed it back to standard..
