Elise 1.6 tuning.
Discussion
Changed my 1.8s for a newer shinyererer 1.6 loving the way it corners and can tell a difference with the lighter forged wheels but wish it had more torque.
Are there any options of remapping or such, I'm not looking for masses of power but I prefer the delivery of the 1.8 which was far lower down whereas the 1.6 is at least as quick but has to be revved high.
Any thoughts or ideas appreciated as said not looking for huge gains just a filling out of the torque curve.
Thanks for reading and have a good day.

Thanks for the info, but please forgive my utter lack of knowledge. Will this increase torque across the rev range? I mainly do motorway driving in my car and even on a country road don't like to rev beyond 4k often would this be suitable for me? Again i dont know if this matters but i have the lotus induction kit and sports exhaust on the car (both added by dealer)
As an aside I am very glad you replied as, not wanting to sound too weird you are revered as some kind of god over at mloc in relation to your exhausts and definitely plan on adding one soon after hearing all of the good reviews and comments.

I understand where your coming from, but it's my everyday car with my last one doing 34k miles in 3 years mainly on the motorway. If I go for a drive I don't mind using revs and constantly changing gear, if I'm just coming home from work on the M1 I just want to be able to leave it in 6th but still have a decent amount of torque.
I understand that for the majority of driving I do I have the wrong car, but as I can only have one then I am happy to compromise for the rare day I have nothing to do but go for a drive in the country.

New car has a warranty, old one doesn't
New car has 3000 miles, old car has 35000 miles
New car does 45mpg, old car does 37mpg so petrol pays for payment increase.
New car rattles, old car rattles. Can't fix everything I suppose!
Seriously though I prefer the way the new car drives apart from the lack of torque where I would like it. This is why I am interested in changing the torque value in the lower rev ranges.
As for any other reason why I got a new one you could ask the same of anyone buying a new car, now back onto subject.

And?
Seriously though the new car costs me nothing extra as pretty much the extra cost is being discounted by the fuel savings as I do lots of miles.
The new car is a more pleasant car, it feels better built, it feels better to go round the corners, I prefer the way it looks, it has a warranty, etc. The only thing I wish for is for the torque curve to be lowered, not more torque or power just for a change in the engines delivery.
This is something which has obviously been an issue for others otherwise 2bular wouldn't of already been working on a fix.
By the way what exactly is wrong with me spending my money on a newer car and then upgrading it? I honestly do thank those who have offered solutions but there seems to be plenty who appear to think I'm an idiot for swopping the old car for the new one. Fair dues your entitled to your opinion as long as you never change your car and then upgrade it.
