has it been remapped?

[wheelmeister]

was looking at a clio 182, and was looking through some of the documents and there was a receipt from superchips which cost the previous owner about £300, does that mean its been remapped? and if so how can i properly tell, increased revs?

thanks guys

i would think so

could always try hitting the limiter(when its uo to temp of corse)and see if hits higher than 6850

Sounds like it; they might not have upped the limiter.

Give Superchips a call and ask?

thought the limiter on sports was above 7k ?

7200ish iirc ?

Nope mines under 7k and one of my mates is too 6850 iirc

Call the company up. They normally keep records of the car's registration and what has been done to the car.

That on your 172? The three 182s I have personal experience of (including a non-cupped FF, a cupped FF and a trophy) are all at the same. It looks like 7,333rpm if you look closely at how many dividers there are between 7 and 8k.

mine is 6800 when cold and 7200 when warmed up....RB182 cup 54 plate

 

[dandycaptain]

Mine is variable, it goes from something like 5 as soon as you turn the key, then to 5.5 or 6, then to 6.5, then to the full whack. Not 100% on the first couple of steps, never having revved it that hard when it's cold! I do occasionally hit the 6.5 one though, when i misjudge how warm it is.

If you wait for it to warm up properly it's 7250rpm.

mines all ways warm before givin it some and mines defo under 7k

Furry muff, I've not heard of that before tbh. Maybe it was different on the 172? Where's a clio geek when you need one?

 

[Benbosh]

Mine takes ages to warm up fully something like a 15-25 minute trip before its warm fully

 

[Turner]

mines on a Y plate 2001 ph2
i think ill be checking again as im gonna look a numpty if im wrong
Not that i hit the limiter much anyway

Warm or hot? Mine takes a good 15 minutes of driving before switching to 7250. If yours stays at c.6800 all day long then perhaps there's something not quite right about it?

 

[Munson]

TBH the engine is so rough over 7k that it's really a moot point. Better to change up a gear and keep your fillings from falling out.
