Bsr rica mte
Which should i go for? I have heard good things about BSR. they also have the highest gains and seem to do extensive testing. RICA is a mixed bag some swear by them others say that if it doesn't work there is noone to help.
I am leaning towards BSR but i'd like to hear aboutanyone who has had a remap. would it be better going to a rolling road and getting one done? BTW I'm new! |

Hello!
Can you tell us which car you have, its year of manufacture and whether it is standard? Regards, Don. PS well worth joining www.t5d5.org where most of the experienced owners of later modified cars hang out.

Some of my customers who already have BSR are considering changing to RICA.

Guys, isn't 250bhp>310bhp a tad optimistic from just a remap?
I have been interested in them for a while, but a 60bhp, OR, 24% increase seems huge. |

i had a rica 304 but i didnt like it after a while. too much torque to start with which gives you wheel spin (bye bye tyres) and not much in the mid and less at the top end,plus the car runs lean, but i also had extra modds and a rica only suites a standard car as it mapped for that only. instead of a rica get a mbc or a ebc i didnt feel much difference apart from the cost.
this is just imo. |

Regardless of what map you go for I would advise driving in you normal fashion with A VCT2000 or similar connected before and after to see if the throttle mapping is progressive from 0-100% pedal or the car could have bad traction issues in wet weather. Any Volvo dealer or good independent can do that for you.
