Owner experiences - Celtic tuning remap? Alternatives?

[sumotan]

Hi Gents,
Posted a thread on remote ECU flashing but don't think anyone is doing it. So my question pls,
I running JB4 which I've log smoome maps. Do you Gents think a tuner can optimize Ecu reflesh base on log date that I provide ?
My last resort is to remove the Ecu & send it perhaps to UK for a remap.

Many thanks

Before you continue, have you done a Search for 'Celtic' and read its 55 posts, especially the ones by R.E92?

Yes I did read some & recall that their re map isn't that great, perhaps it has to do with which dealer is doing the mapping.

Thank you

Very few people here on Zeds in the UK use JB4..

I’d suggest you look at US JB4 users on 2/3/4 series for some helpful feedback…

One of the reasons I sadly sold my N20 E89 is there is very limited technical support for the platform..and a lot can’t be read across as the N20 was a hybrid fit into what was an older architecture platform,,where’s with say N54 there are LOADS of possible options..

Not suggesting you sell your car…

Thanks for the reply B21, always wanted a 35i, unfortunately there's less than 8 in the whole of Indonesia & where Im at there's only 2 E89s the other being a 20i. Having said that, I had a chance drive in a modded 35i in Singapore, quite a monster in straight line but didn't felt that good & nimbly as compared to my 28i on winding roads, so now my thoughts has change a little, will just keep the car & try to get a better Ecu remap.
Re JB4 on the 2/3/4 doesn't work well on the E89 strange but.

Many thanks again

Yes the N20 powered E89 is a much sweeter handler than the barge aka 35i/35is.. :tumbleweed: :rofl:

Does the Celtic Emotion thing not work for you?

Hi B21
Thanks again for the reply. No I've not look in the Celtic evolution as there were some good & bad reviews on their mapping so was not sure to go with them. What's your thoughts on Celtic B21 ?

Many thanks again

As discussed, better if you are dealing direct with them rather than a distribution network…

Looks like about your only option…

So if it was me despite my personal experiences with a distributor I’d go with it..
