Not slaggin off Paul, I know he's a good lad, but how come everyone is going for off the shelf maps these days and not a live type map?
Price I know is an issue, but would people not pay the extra and get the map to suit the car rather than another car?
Just wondering?

what could really be achieved from a fully custom map on this engine when standard ?
not a great deal more than what a company like RSTuning can do I'd wager.
Since I had the Cup done it pulls like a train through the mid-range but still tails off around 7k - it's just that you can hold onto the revs for slightly longer in a certain gear when required. I doubt it produces vast quantities of extra horsepower, but the torque is certainly improved and all very smooth with no flat spots that I can notice.
I'm very impressed, having done a lot of remap testing on various 4 and 6 cylinder engines in recent years.
Paul was confident enough to supply the map for use with Milltek cats and K-Tec cat back and he was right to be confident IMO.

i swear to you thats the first time i have EVER saw edde type anything wrong ha
edde, you are no longer the brain box of renault sport
hah just messing
Pmurray at Rstuning for me....
thats where i had mine done, spot on guy! good job done as well.
I had mine done at RS Tuning. I'm Impressed with it. Only problem I have is that the car feels a little rough until it's warmed up. It wasn't like that before. If you keep the accelerator at the same position when cold it hits a certain amount of revs and it suddenly pulls a lot harder as if you've pressed down on the accelerator. Once warm it's absolutely perfect!

Wasnt really talking about this thread more in general, was thinking more peolple spending money on mods etc, then getting a generic map.
Again I'm not slagging Paul off or any off the shelf chips, it just seems to me people spend loads of money on mods, then kind of skimp (IMHO so to speak) on a proper remap.
Mind you the VAG boys have been doing it for years.
what's it really going to get out of the F4R engine though ? A few bhp ?
just not worth doubling the cost of the remap job - imho.
I see what you're saying about the desire to match everything as well as possible though ....
edit - slightly off-topic, I have thought about remapping the M3. But I can't be bothered with it as the engine is just great from factory. The Clio also has this attribute with the superb F4R engine but for track use I wanted something that could get the benefit of the uprated exhaust system. With a bigger budget and for a race car I can understand the point of going with a fully-custom ECU - but not for road use, again in my opinion.

a thirsty one
i will be darkening rs tuning's doors later in the year/start next year i hope to get mine remapped just one or two things i need to do first. I spent a while researching the different options and after a chat with paul at FCS its my recommendation.
a thirsty one
nice one dave let us know how it feels after.

Booked in for noon sat .... can't wait
Just going for a remap Dave? Not been convinced to add any other bits at the same time?
Would be interested to know what its like after, as my 182 is also stock at the mo.....

Yeah I see what your saying £££ / BHP but I paid £310 for my live remap by Wayne (Chipwizards) can't be much less for an off the shelf chip surely?
Does anyone know if Paul does cambelts too?

Not yet.....cars still got Reno warranty left.Maybe after that l'll change the air feed,fit some decent seats & harnesses.....nothing over the top.
With a re-map whats the best exhaust (nothing loud) to fit and what gains would it produce?

As i've said a few times, our maps are not off the shelf and have been developed on many many cars on the dyno with various mods. We can adjust for most mods due to having alot of dyno developed maps and knowing exactly what to change for what effect. Live mapping is often over rated and usually not needed for light mods( i have seen some real crap so called live maps). However.... we can also now live map most ecu's but would only suggest this for extreme mods such as cams etc.
P.S. 310 is very cheap, wayne must be mad lol
And we can do cambelts @ £430 inc VAT with aux belt & timing belt kit.
