Remapping at Ritters

[herrBlick]

As you may know I have spoilt my self by test driving a new D4,
But all was not least as I just got the engine remapped at Ritters,
Great stuff indeed quite nippy compared to before, the Chap told me that they had been ripping a lot of Chips out D3 s as they where giving trouble to the car,
Very happy indeed

What sort of remapping do they do? Any idea whether they do Puma Defender stuff?

Yes, I've seen their website & passed their premises thousands of times...haven't even got our "90" yet (ordered,another 3 ms to wait!) so I guess unless I pick up some info on the Forum, I'll just wait till we've taken delivery.
Do you have a particular person there that you prefer?
Cheers, Pickles.

Sorry a bit confused - what did you get chipped - a D4?? I thought you haven't got one yet.

Garry

[herrBlick]

No I got my D3 remapped, I was saying I spoilt my self by taking a D4 for a test drive, so bloody nippy and nimble, compared to the D3

[101RRS]

Oh ok - did you consider the BAS remap which does seem to be the benchmark (best ?) for D3 maps. I have one on my RRS and I find it particularly good.

Cheers

Garry

[Pickles2]

BAS (U.K.?) seem to have an excellent reputation, but doesn't the vehicle have to be individually tuned?
I guess what I'm trying to say is how would you get a B.A.S. tune in Australia?
Cheers, Pickles.

[101RRS]

Using either a Nanocom (or equivalent) or using BAS equipment you copy the standard map on your car and email it to BAS who reads it and remaps it to your requirements and then emails it back where you upload it to your car. You retain both map files and can revert to the original when any work is required on the car.

Thanks for that.
But that still doesn't enable the tune to be "individually" tuned to your particular engine does it....or does it! It simply means that you have an "upgraded" ECU, from which the engine takes its orders?
I would've thought that the engine would need to be tuned & "adjusted" on a dyno, to get the best results?

Do you still have a copy of your original map so that the new map can be removed when your car goes in for work. If not your new map can be overwritten and you loose it.

[herrBlick]

Ummmmmmm....I don't think so...I will be taking it into Ritters from now on anyway , very friendly out there

And what if you are elsewhere and need to have work done and they reload the ECU software?? I have both my maps in the car with me and backed up on my home PC.

[CaverD3]

Superchips Bluefin DIY they send you the map can be removed or changed as needed.

[herrBlick]

Unfortunately I use mac so it's not an option for me,

[CaverD3]

Borrow a lap top you only need it for putting the map on (or off)

Just wondering what the cost is for one of these remaps?

[CaverD3]

I bought mine direct from UK but looks like they want you to go through dealer now.
This lot $640

Hey herrBlick, when I had mine done on the D3 at Ritters, they offered to install the original mapping prior to taking it in for a service elsewhere.
As you mentioned, they are friendly.

Cheers, Craig

[herrBlick]

Yes indeed I was there today again as my engine kept cutting out on the free way. They offers to reinstall it whenever if it got wiped elsewhere

[herrBlick]

Just thought I'd post this on here instead
I was on my way to AB transmissions this morning when I got to 100kms I went into cruise control and all was good,( this was the first time on the freeway since remapping)

Then out of the blue "special program's off " flashed up and the car started to slow , I had to go across all the lanes to get to the hard shoulder, freighting !



Turned the car off and on again ... No problems and off I went.... This happened again four times.



I searched the forum for answers and found a topic with similar symptoms , the advice was...... Wait for it '!!!!!!!



Remove the rest of your keys from the car key as it pulls on the ignition,



So I did to no avail,



Called Ritter's and drove their to have them have a look. On the way my fuel light came on and I filled her up,



There was a running rich error on the reader ,and the mechanic couldn't replicate the fault



I then drove to AB transmissions everything was cool,



Until I got onto the freeway and gave it some. Yes! The same thing happened again. So I called Ritter's and they said come back and we shall put the you old program back in and see if its the remapping causing it...

Ok I thought very nice service...

So I continued up the freeway and decided to give it some again.

It was amazing the car drove like a dream at naughty speeds , I couldn't believe it. All was good , I decided instead to go home and keep an eye on it over the weekend and see

I informed Ritter's of my decision ,



When I arrived home and went to reverse my car I shockingly realised my gear stick had been in sports mode with out me shifting it,



Can you just drive your car in sports mode and just not touch it?



Has anyone else had the cutting out problem?

[CaverD3]

And you have to go back to have the map replaced if it gets overwritten by a software update from dealer or autologic.

You could have bought a windoz laptop with the difference.

I think the map is at fault, you can dive in sport mode without issue, it just changes the gear change points ( I think D4 also changes mapping)

Too rich is overfueling, either map didn't take or a badly written map.

[rufusking]

Or issue with MAF meter.

[101RRS]

The above issues highlight why I went with the BAS Map - is a known, proven player in the D3 world, is much cheaper, and with the included device I can change maps in a couple of minutes wherever I am without the requirement to go somewhere to get it done.

Also - I have had mine for a year and absolutely no issues and the extra zoom zoom is great.

Garry

[herrBlick]

MAF meter?

[SBD4]

MAF meter?

Mass Air Flow Sensor, On the air intake duct - measures air temperature/volumes etc the ECU adjusts accordingly. If this is up the crapper then your engine will be sick.

[jonesy63]

Has the MAP sensor ever been cleaned? (Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor, in case you wonder!). :p

This should be a part of routine service schedule - probably every 30-40,000km... but no. :(

Takes about 5 mins to remove, clean and reinstall - and can make a massive difference.

I will second that (also clean out the manifold as the amount of crud that builds up for the same reason as it builds up on the MAP sensor is huge) - not an issue for me any more as I have my EGRs blanked.

[~Rich~]

Yes third that, however never poke anything down the centre hole.
It is too easily damaged.

Have a good read here:

This is not your remap problem though, just something else to be aware of.

[Tombie]

You have been given a generic "Autologic" remap.

A one fits all tune.

No problem with that. But it won't be tailored to your specific wants or mods.

Those are my thoughts too, but having said that, where would one obtain a specific "your car" tune?.....Plenty in the U.K., but is there anyone say in Melbourne, that can individually re-map a Puma?
Cheers, Pickles.

BAS...

He sends you the module, you download your Vehicle, and send him the file. Along with a list of mods, use etc.

He emails a modified file to you, you load it on the vehicle.
