Didn't want to start a new thread on this but basically my car(172 cup) failed the NCT(Irish MOT) the other day due to having no centre seat belt so they asked me to either get the logbook amended as it has it down as a 5 seater or fit a centre belt.
I have less than 30 days to sort either or I...
Just back from taking it out for a spin..Very impressed..I forgot it removed the 5k 'kick'.Felt strange at first but after a few minutes you notice how much better the car picks up as you go through the gears.The raised rev limit will come in handy on the track too.
I have backed up my original file but cannot open that either.Its saying I do not have the program to open them? Do I need to download a program to open these files?
I bought a new RS tuner days ago.Sent my screenshots to henk.
Received email with two files.Software update and 98Ron map.
I followed the guide on here by downloading them as zip but when I go to write ecu they should pop up in documents or the saved folder? so I can select them but they...
Just a quick question on this,
I have just received my RS tuner.I wont be using it for a while but when I do in order to use the 98 ron map I will have to use octane booster as we do not have 98 ron fuel readily available in Ireland.
Does my car need to be running on 98 ron prior to uploading...
Yesterday I tried to order a ktec decat to go with my ktec supersport exhaust but they are out of stock and said it could be a week or a month before they get them in.I cant wait a month so im looking at other options.
I found this...
I will indeed.Im lucky enough to have two maxols within 5-10 mins away.Baldoyle and Artane.Also ordered a sabelt RS steering wheel today.More to come tomorrow
I had it standard and yes they are great cars but they can be vastly improved too imo..I have money already put aside for trackdays and repairing the car if needs be.
If we all took your advice this site wouldnt exist :)
I emailed henk and he said the rs tuner is set up for 97Ron minimum so i just ordered one and the pure motorsport solid top mount and strut brace kit.Have a load more stuff to order tomorrow :)
Right well bit of an issue with getting myself an RS tuner..As stated above about the e5 petrol we have in Ireland its supposed to be 99 Ron but talking to a few people in the know its reckoned that its more like 97 Ron so probably not the best option :(
Will have to do more research into it
Unusual..I had 3 imprezas mapped and a golf gti on e5 and never had issues.was always told to use it by the mappers..Even the maxol website states its 99?
Bit of a thread revival here but say I buy a new RS tuner...
I get the 98ron map as standard?
Say if I want to buy the over run map just to try it out for a laugh can I then switch back to the first map? So essentially have the option of both maps whenever I want?
I don't know a whole lot about the RS tuner but am I right in saying I could pick one up second hand that has the 98 ron map and just then plug it into my car and away you go? If I was decated and had say an induction kit would that map still apply or is it just for bog standard cars?
Only problem is im in Ireland..There isn't a huge base for tuning them over here.More jap stuff.Im waiting on a call back from a mapper who does mainly VAG stuff but I reckon he might be able to map mine if I do get the cams.Was looking at Renflash from ktec but I was put off that idea.
Cheers mate..Above is only part of what I've done since I bought it..I replaced a lot of parts with all brand new oem parts.All worn suspension parts were replaced,brand new rear discs etc etc.
Ive had subaru's,Evo's,M3's etc in the past so Im not really interested in selling up and buying a...
Looks like I have my e46 325 sold so with the proceeds I was set to just go but a set of cams but ive been thinking am I better of spending the money elsewhere first and go for cams further down the line.
My current spec is,
BC coilovers
full suspension refresh(new wishbones/balljoints/track...
Right guys,
I performed several searches and found lots of info on cams.Im based in Ireland so was swaying towards the ktec catcam package and renflash but doing a search it looks like im best off avoiding the renflash route.
My car(172 cup) already has the following,
BC coilovers
