Remapping x type


Recommended Posts

Hi, new member, just bought X Type 2006 2.2 diesel, car is 152 hp version, heard about remapping (Celtic tuning) pushing this model up to 195 hp - any feedback from members - re performance, feel, economy etc, would like a bit of advice before jumping in, cheers Andy.

Hi Andy, I have the same but 2008 face lift. For me the power of the standard engine is perfectly ok for me and dont really see the need for extra power. Also you should probably think about what mileage your car has done and should you be putting more stress on it and how will it effect your insurance.

Happy driving.

Hi Andrew, and welcome to the  club.

I am inclined to agree with Rodney.  A turbo charged diesel has plenty of power, especially from 30 mph to 70 mph.  Its there when you need it.  The design engineers are pretty good when getting the power to weight ratio right.

Jaguar used the same engine in the XF and in the Estate version and it could easily pull a heavier car.

Years ago, in my motorcycle days, a mate had his 250 cc BSA speeded up, and he claimed it would do 100 mph, and it dis,  --  for about 10 seconds.

The X type is a nice comfortable car and you will enjoy it as it is.  It will save you a few shillings, too.

Regards,

Peter.

Hmmm, can't be that comfortable if its going to shake your fillings loose - aaaah, Shillings!

For the post decimalisation generations a shilling = 10p in what passes for our currency today.

I was taught that a shilling was 12 pence in proper money and consequently it took 20 0f them to make a £1.

A two bob piece = 10 to £1

And then a shilling was a 5p piece in this modern money.

I also was taught the real words of Rule Britannia 

Rule Britannia

Two tanners make a bob,

Three make one and six [1/6]

And four two bob.

That Shropshire fresh air can take some getting used to.

True, but inflation with this stuff only makes you light headed - sadly.

Oops, clearly currency inflation can result from Shropshire air inflation - ho humm, pauperdom here I come.
