As we all know the GT Cloverleaf Q2 version has 170 BHP whith the sport button pressed. I want to get one of these tuning boxes and fit it to increase power. But How would it work or would it work at all. Would it work with the sport button pressed or unpressed. Would it increase both or can I just set it to work with the sport button to get more from the button rather than just 20 BHP. If anybodys done it or know anything please enlighten me
The sport button selects a differenct map in the ECU, so yes, can be used all the time.
The thing I want to know is, if I'm cruising at say 60mph, if I have the sport button on, will my fuel consumption increase, decrease or stay the same? Anyone had any evidence of this?
Thats a good idea but I don't know if they could do it. I don't think there is 2 maps in the ECU I've been told that the sports button only makes the throttle more responsive.
I'm under the impression there is two maps, 150bhp and a 170bhp. The sport button would improve throttle response as the second map would deploy and so result in more power/better throttle response.
I wonder how ARUK can explain why a GTA produces 250BHP on the rolling road and why any JTS engine is well under what it should be...
I dont ever trust these fabled figures that people come out with after having their cars remapped by a laptop... The most these GT's JTDm's should be kicking out is 200.. anything more and you will need to start upgrading bits and pieces..
In addition, the standard brakes are not up to stopping the GT in a 200BHP form..
I drive the Brera 2.2 JTS. I had the ECU remapped. Originally 185 BHP at the flywheel is now 202 BHP (as per the before and after Dyno.
The improvement at the wheel is considerably lower. The ECU only added 9 BHP to the wheel, but the extra torque (50Nm) runs between 4,000 and 5200 RPM's and that makes a big difference to the drive-ability.
Sport button now provides a lift in performance capability when driving in Auto mode
