Another RS Tuner thread, please look

[J88NES]

I'm pretty new on the clio scene and this RS tuner seems pretty popular and the sound of a 7800rpm rev limit is appealing.

I dont really know much but can some people explain a bit about it, i know you buy some hardware then download software onto your cars ecu but is there anything else to know?

Also how much am i looking at and where do i get it from

Thanks all

Andy

Its 7500 not 7800!

You get it from www.fastchip.nl and its about £140 delivered.

You upload a map with software you download from the site.

As well as that it does fault code rading, performance analysis and gives you live data reading from all the cars sensors.

 

[J88NES]

Ah right thanks mate, does it increase power at all or just the points you said

 

[Schweppy]

Not really any more bhp. Makes the car alot smoother and gives low down torque. I love it!

 

[J88NES]

Deffo worth a purchase then mate?

I mean £140 isnt much really

 

[Schweppy]

Defo!

 

[J88NES]

Thanks mate, think i will invest once i have my stealth exhaust

it probably raises the power a few bhp, but its changes the power band and more torque lower down. Look at some of the rollingroad days where people are running the grp n map, they got some great results as a whole.

Look to expect:

Increased throttle response
Increased torque and power lower down
Increased idle to make it less lumpy
More even power band across the range, not so harsh a kick at 5k.
No kangarooing on cold mornings, just a nice smooth overrun.
Higher Rev liimit, although this really isnt needed with the power given lower down, i rarely go over 6.5k.

More to mention.

I was one of those on the rolling road and although i did get gains from the previous time the car was RR'd, i'm not sure if its to do with the remap.

Only way of telling would be to do the remap before and after a RR and then RR again after.

thing is it takes a while 4 the map 2 settle in, so back 2 back wouldnt work 2 well

I've been tempted by this kit too.

I've heard loads of good comments on it.

 

[gtruk]

Best 140 i spent on my car to be honest. Ive done loads of silly mods in the past, and this mod has been my fav to play with. FAST AND FURIOUS STYLEY.

 

[J-Key]

The RSTuner kit is the nuts. I am so happy with it, i was thinking about selling my 172 but after i had this done i'm not going to just yet.

It's running like a dream,

 

[mikey_172]

i found using tesco 99 ron fuel made the car run alot better with this map rather than using vpower

 

[HeavyDee]

this tuner kit sounds great, is it hard to set it all up??

Not difficult at all, I installed 2 maps for 2 of the members on here at the weekend

 

[mark_182_54]

^^^^^ fancy doing mine if i get one ??? seeing as ur localish

 

[gtruk]

you can do it urself mate, its sooo easy its unreal.

 

[HeavyDee]

is there a tutorial on the website??

 

[Bash]

I pay someone to uplaod the software on mine!

 

[tonykart]

@bash

I do it for free just come to my place in Holland

 

[Paul.]

could someone explain exactly what this is and how you install it.?? heard and read alot about it but not got a clue

 

[DrR]

Tempted to get this just to rid the fecking crappy lumpy ride at the start

 

[tonykart]

come on Paul do a search...buy a kit www.fastchip.nl, download software and plug&play software update of your 182...simple as that

 

[cup182 racing blue]

can this be added and get a remap too? does it make any difference the roar of the engine? and does it make it pull of any quicker? iv read alot about it but dont understand if it dosnt give any bhp hows it make it any quicker?

 

[cup182 racing blue]

and can this only be used once? or if i baught it could i use it on a freinds car?

 

[Paul.]

going to buy 1 now. i mean for someone who knows nothing about under the bonnet is it still easy enough to do??

 

[DrR]

I know feck all about it to, is it a remap?

 

[tonykart]

@Paul even if you are a .... you can do it. The only thing is to take the right files. If you have a 182 you need the Clio 2.0 FR4 CB20/21/22 file in the download/ecu calibration part. And choose the right .RST file and right .cal file.
Just tell Henk (owner fastchip) what you have and he will tell you what you need. Otherwise just ask on this forum

ok thanks for your help. much appreciated. feel as though i have a better idea now.


does it effect your mpg?

 

[tonykart]

yes with "normal" driving it will be better, but well be honest if you reprogram your 182 do you do it to drive slower ?

But still the drivability will be much better, better pedal response, noticable torque increase and your green stick will light at 7500 Rpm. There is also a lot of data that acn be seen of your car itself....so less money great pleasure I would say.....best value for money trust me !

 

[kristian]

but no bhp gain? yes i no its not all about bhp!!

 

[Paul.]

definitly going to get 1

 

[franx]

check the site; Henk has put up a tutorial on there not so long ago

"programming made easy"

 

[norshed]

I assume this is the same for cups aswell?

If anyone local to me wants a hand i have no problems with helping you out

 

[HeavyDee]

Hey -J- u seen the clio sport around ur area in blue with the fuzzybrush decals over it?? funky. sorry for going off topic :-D

 

[-J-]

Cant say i have seen it, I know there are a few round me, My mates silver 182, another mates trophy, a Blue 182ff and a 172ff Iceburg

 

[wildwood]

Is there any proven affect on mpg with the rs tuner? I see the idle is increased. Does the 5k 'kick' disappear because i actually quite like that. Is a placebo product or is there any proof that it works? Any good on standard car with no mods? Thanks
