intercooler remap

[durno69]

want to get a bigger intercooler to keep the engine cool but do i need a remap dont want the corsa to blow up?

[iDan x]

No you don't

[Grey]

No you don't

and doesnt really keep it cool more like intake temps are better but dont benefit from it without map...

[durno69]

i would remap it but dont want to risk the 4th piston

It won't necessitate keep the engine cool. It's all about consistant low intake temps. And no remap needed, car will run as it does in winter with minimal change to the drive.

You do not require a remap, but to get the full benefits it does require a remap

Why install an intercooler then?

I’d say it’s a worthwhile mod to do on its own as the standard intercooler isn’t that brilliant and the charge temperatures over ambient can often be fairly high. Something which an aftermarket cooler helps keep under control.

Obviously a remap would get the best out of it but that can be said for any bolt on mod you do e.g. a full exhaust system.

I wouldn’t let the P4 issue put me off tuning my burg once the warranty is up. It’s more thermal shock that causes it so look after your car, keep it well serviced and make sure it’s warmed up and cooled down properly and it shouldn’t give issues. But if it’s going to go then it’s going to go there isn’t much you can do and as said standard ones have failed too.
