If I was going widetrack I'd convert over to a jc5, it's a nicer box to use imo with better suited ratios but a bit of work moving back over to the gear linkage and cable clutch

That sounds like a better partnership lol

Do some research on ktecs mapping reputation, I'm not sure if it's changed in the last few years but if it hasn't I wouldn't go near them. I love their parts always had great service but the mapping side of things had a terrible reputation

Massively improved mid range, better idle, raised rev limit, easy to do, great software. For the price of a map out the back of wee Jimmy's remap van (with his maps he buys from Greece) you are getting a properly developed map where the mapper has also developed the hardware and software to...

The RS tuner is a fantastic map I've always been really impressed with the difference after flashing mine

I believe they can be re programmed for a new car but the cost is pretty much the same as just buying a new one, I've always bought a new one and have about 6 old ones lying in my toolbox ?

At least someone understood it ??

A dci 80 will remap to around 105-110hp and 180lbft. I used superchips bluefin, plug it in, upload your standard map to it, plug it into pc and their software sends your map to them, they will either have a match for it or write one for you within a few hours, download the map onto the handheld...

Good find, if it's just injectors then your a set of injectors away from 130hp and 190lbft, has someone confirmed the injectors are different? Dacia duster intercooler will be a direct swap it's larger

They should sell it for what they bought it for, I'm not sure how they sleep at night.

If it's a diesel which hopefully it is as the petrol ones are a bit naff then full throttle in 4th or 5th gear up a motorway sliproad and get it up over 4000rpm to make sure there is no warning lights. Mk3s were having issues with rusty subframes not sure how widespread they are

Typical tuning box then, wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Better even with a cheap remap, it's such a common and old engine that even cheap generic maps are generally massively tried and tested and work fine.

Yeah agreed, nice to have something that blends in but you know is a little special. Watch for superchips doing no vat sale on a bluefin for it, transforms the mid range performance on them

Does it load the map though? Tunit has "maps" but it's not loading them, they are not even ECU maps they are using the map term, but in reality it's 1-9 or something on how harsh it is on the fuel pump! They CANNOT control boost.

It's a double unicorn! Awesome, I tried to buy one of these, a dci100 too, but red, off a boy at the mot station when it had failed it's mot. I think he was intimidated by me because of how excited I was over it. Think he thought I was taking the piss out him

Too much fuel or not enough air, the list could be endless!!! Faulty injector Faulty turbo Boost leak Egr valve Start there ?

What's the difference? As far as I can see if it's not mapping the ECU it's not going about the job properly. Someone was trying to tell me to get a "tune it" box or something, it's not a tuning box it's got "maps" on it etc a smartphone app to match. Yet the more I read up on it the more it...

Buy the race chip for it to trick the ECU into ramping up fuel pressure, giving worse mpg and gaining about 5hp will giving off loads of black smoke. A proper remap will raise turbo boost and fuel flow to match giving genuine good, reliable gains, mpg improvement, transforming the car.

Proper remap every time. A tuning box won't be long in mashing your fuel pump on a 1.5dci and it won't make anywhere near +16hp

They don't call it cup killing season for nothing! Not mAny left now

owned both at the same time and agree the cup felt more nuts! I had a few high speed lockups which keep you alert lol

I would have a cup over a trophy! probably rarer now too!

modifying any car is a waste of money though! as long as your having enough fun to justify it!

thats a K4J but its much the same as a K4M, yes there is a turbo kit and they go well! http://store.trwperformance.com/product_info.php?cPath=12_22&products_id=226

I briefly used a Twingo RS for 3 months as a daily, never again, I recon an ariel atom would have been better. What a car it was on the right day/road though! My 220 Trophy ticks every box though i currently do about 50 miles a day in it, not much

yep positive it did, it was 13 years ago though lol

I had never noticed it until I had had mine for 6 months, then I tried my mates brand new one and it done the same! no idea what causes it, something to do with the induction system as when mine had an open filter on it it no longer done it

1.2 16v? normal if so just for a split second when you press the accelerator?

id have spent my time getting an arch liner for my cup rather than getting the car lifted. no one ever tell you snitches get stitches?

Renault UK these days are absolutely hopeless and rude, but it's worth a try I suppose it's only as helpful as the person you get. I'm having issues with my 6 months old 220 trophy and Renault UK are worse than the renaulsport dealer I'm dealing with (parks of Motherwell)
