Anyone tried the latest CB0M RON98 Sept 09 cal file ?

No real formula, more a guess lol.

OE Kerb weight + me + full tank of fuel (roughly and no where near accurately 1litre = 1kg). 1200Kg was the figure I ended up at lol.


So do I need to revert back to the stock .rst instead of the group N? If I do, does the rev limit reduce back to the OE 6500rpm (ish what ever the OE limit is) or stay at the 7k+ figure?

cheers matey, should be able to work out weights now, so you go by the OE kerb weight rather than the listed gross weight... what does the gross weight mean ?

My reckoning on this .rst thing, is that originally a complete image was taken of the group n ecu chip(i think renault provided this chip) and packaged into an .rst file (.rst's contain .cal data as well). Now I reckon the 'software' portion of this .rst image is the same as the original A300 software, but only the cal portion of the group n .rst is different than the stock A300 .rst file.

i think it's just one of those historical things, and that only .cal files are required, unless you are upgrading the software, and as you know we are stuck on A300

The kerb weight, AFAIK, is the actual weight of the car with all it's equipment and fluids in, possibly fuel too but I'm not 100% on that so just go with it being empty, and no occupants.

Gross weight, I think, is the same vehicle but with a car full of people and luggage.

few things to report with mine - I uploaded the 'regular' 98ron cal (because i only have firmware 160)...

mine still kangaroos at very low throttle

also, my idle now seems to be 1050rpm, when it was 950rpm before. this was the same after a 35mile trip. I even opened the bottom and made sure the throttlebody wasnt sticking. the 'return to idle' seems a lot slower too :S


power-wise... seems smoother, i guess.. hard to say really. economy seemed to increase a little
