    I have to make my mind up, that after my matched inlets being fitted this week, the exhaust squeal sorted, and with the addition of an enlarged throttle body and induction kit. whether to remap at Engine Dynamics, or go for the Generic RS Tuner and see what happens Am wondering whether the The...

    Rs tuner/tuning

    so with a generic map, if you have non standard set up, with different air intake, manifold and throttle body set up, the generic map wouldnt run straight? Can the modifications be tuned in with the Tuner box? And if the thing don't run properly, does it keep the OEM map so that can be put...

    RSTuner and Remap Dynomometer graphs

    Couple other threads debating whether the RSTuner is worth it, and whether a remap is favourite or not K-Tec (Blandford in the South) EFI (Cheshire) and Engine Dynamics (Essex) all offer Remaps from £200 upwards (K-Tec £300, ED £200) I have a Phase 1, 172, has anyone got any remap graphs...

    RaceChip vs Custom ECU remap.

    EFI is Cheshire so a loooooong drive from Sussex (4hrs+ and 260 miles e.w. too far) Engine Dynamics, Kelvedon, nr Colchester- not a nice drive (1hr 50 mins and 100 miles e.w- doable)

    K-Tec are offering their tailored remap on a phase 1 for £318 including vat Includes a panel filter (Which i wouldnt need) so hoping £300. (Lot of money for a Phase 1 worth a Grand) Its either that or an RS Tuner for about 250euro from Henk Just a bit worried about getting the RStuner, then...

    Late mid-life crisis ...........

    if you need to learn, suggest you get a sub £1000 running 172 (Phase 1 or 2) and take it for a thrash around your local track That's what I did, tinkered with a few things, got some spare wheels with track tyres, and a half roll cage- and away I went Its roadgoing, so no trailering needed, and...

    RaceChip vs Custom ECU remap.

    OH, didn't realise that - where? RS Tuner is resaleable so if RSTuner costs £220, get at least £100 back? I got a response from the RS Tuner website within 24 hrs as seen, which was fast and seems civil: Hi Chris, Correct ECU will not be locked. > will there be after market support if I...

    Mapping in area

    ^ ^ To be fair there are a few good comments amongst that lot. Product looks a good one, customer service seems lacking Not a lot of money in the grand scheme If you find a decent Clio mapper in Sussex let me know :-) (Hove me) If you need a mechanical help, Clioman in Littlehampton done a...

    RaceChip vs Custom ECU remap.

    whats the difference between buying a used RS Tuner and an unlock code from Henk (Which seems a lot do on here) or buy a new one from Henk, where no unlock code is needed (Other than cost) Seems more customer support would be needed for an unlock code? Surely he should make money out of...

    Fitting matched inlets on a 172 Phase 1

    Looking at doing this when the weather gets a tadge warmer Understand its not the easiest of jobs with aircon on mine, the lower inlet anyway. Any gains with just fitting the top inlet, or would is mess the airflow and outcome in an uneven throttle? Is a new lower inlet gasket needed? Any...

    Phase 1 172 bumper removal guide..?

    Bit of a pain to do, but removed the bumper today to replace a OSF headlight on a Phase 1 Just thought I would add, that if you are swapping out a headlamp unit, you don't have to take both sides of the bumper off. Just remove the 2 torx screws, and also (for me) the spoiler screws, as it got...

    Performance Ignition leads

    Are they worth it? Notice most members go after Magnecore performance leads. £90 new, but other manufacturers are about half that Notice they come in diameters between 7mm and 10mm. Assume bigger is better Are they copper, or are there better conductors (Yes, but not paying for Gold LOL) And...
