buying RS Tuner help

LeeRS · Jan 18, 2015

I'm taking it that this is what I need:
http://www.fastchip.nl/index.php?pa...category_id=7&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=26

what is the map it cones with? I'm wanting the 98ron map but I'm a bit confused what it comes with.

LeeRS · Jan 18, 2015

just read a bit more down the page and seen it was "stage 1 map"
can anyone elaborate on what its like or shall I just go straight for the 98ron?

scooby-93 · Jan 19, 2015

Or you could buy my 2nd hand one and save on buying a brand new 1

How much you wanting?

LeeRS · Jan 19, 2015

by the tine you have bought the unlock and map it works out at pretty much the same depending on how much you want for yours of course.

scooby-93 · Jan 19, 2015

Mines provisionally sold, but ill let you know if it falls through, yes not much difference between price but wait at least a week for delibery for a new 1 or wait 1 day for a 2nd hand 1

LeeRS · Jan 19, 2015

still have to wait for the codes

scooby-93 · Jan 19, 2015

Yeah a day tops lol! Now sold anyway thanks for the intrest

LeeRS · Jan 19, 2015

Can someone just confirm that the "Stage 1" map included in the 200 price is the RON98 map?
Bit confusing the site is, stuff all over the place on there.

ADS_V6 · Jan 19, 2015

yes it is its the 98ron map m8

LeeRS · Jan 19, 2015

cheers @ADS1982

LeeRS · Jan 19, 2015

and the pops and bangs is the OVERRUN map?
You have to pay extra for hat though right? Not that i would use it.

ADS_V6 · Jan 19, 2015

pops n bang goes your engine map

LeeRS · Jan 20, 2015

wow, just read through the FAQ section on the rs tuner website and I'm more confused now than before.

it says something about a wideband connector?
not sure I need that do I?

also, does the engine have to be running when you have it all plugged in from start to finish?

sorry about the questions ive no idea about any of this really and iv you ask hank he just refers you to the FAQ which brings me to this post

When you buy a new Tuner, it should come with the leads to connect to the car and laptop, and a map, you want the 98ron map, or the overrun map, which will pop and bang on the overrun, you just switch the ignition on, don't start the car, one thing to bare in mind, if your battery isn't good you might want to attach a charger just in case, as you don't want it going flat half way through, but it doesn't take long, I think mine was about 10 mins to back the ECU up, and a couple of mins to download the map, there are a couple of useful vids on youtube that explain how to do it as well.....

scooby-93 · Jan 20, 2015

instructions come in the box which are pretty hard to understand but there is a guide in the guides section that i followed, couldnt be simpler

LeeRS · Jan 20, 2015

sound lads cheers, appreciate it.
will hook up a charger just to be on the safe side.

LeeRS · Jan 20, 2015

right, had a bit more of a read about it from various threads on here and ive found out a few things.

I've read that the 98ron map idles at 1100rpm cold and settles down to a steady 900 when warm.

Mine does exactly this already. So does this mean mine is already running the map?
Knowing my luck i will buy the tuner and find out I already have it.

I take it there is no way of knowing for sure unless i try....

warwickstingray · Jan 20, 2015

If your rev limit is 7,250rpm in 2nd when warm you haven't got it.

LeeRS · Jan 20, 2015

cluck me....
looks like im going to have to go down the lanes now then... I will tell the popo im just checking something.

so if my rev counter goes over that then i have it? or will the needle keep going up?

LeeRS · Jan 20, 2015

couldn't get the vids to upload so took screenshots. obviously one when cold and one when warm. It hit the limiter on the second red notch after 7 in second gear.

scooby-93 · Jan 20, 2015

Idles at 1000rpm if it has already got a rs tuner map on it and the higher Rev limit is 7600rpm in 3rd + should be able to do 98mph in 3rd as you hit Rev limit in 3rd

LeeRS · Jan 20, 2015

well that's different to what other people have said aswell. I guess its different on all cars. I believe 900rpm is the target idle though.

ADS_V6 · Jan 20, 2015

i got the 98 map on but i cant hit 98 in third,when mapped the car it said fastchip on the main screen ,ive lost 5k kick,could i have mapped it wrong?

Stefan. · Jan 20, 2015

You lose the 5k kick when it is mapped, as the map smoothes the power delivery...

ADS_V6 · Jan 20, 2015

thanks so should be ok then ,car feels better but i dont think i got big increase on the rev limiter

Just drive it like you nornally would, people overthink/get way to caught up on these, they do a good job, its more about how the car drives/idles than rpm or bhp

ADS_V6 · Jan 20, 2015

ta,was worried i hadnt done it right,cold start is much better,but it seems to only hit standard limiter

The Rev limiter is only raised in 3rd and above I think, mine with the 98 Ron map idled at 1000rpm or a fraction under but well over 900rpm,

ADS_V6 · Jan 20, 2015

thanks it must be ok then also does the car smell richer from the exhaust,nibe seems richer smell

Willo40 · Jan 21, 2015

As Scooby has pointed out, you don't gain any noticeable BHP increase, it just makes the acceleration more linear, and doesn't feel as flat under 5k, its a great mod......

N4TH4N · Jan 21, 2015

I echo all. But I still have my "5k kick" even after the map for some reason.. mines special I guess lol.. But seriously it's a great mod. BTW @LeeRS judging from your warm idle, you do not already have the map installed as it idles slightly higher than that once mapped up.

Oh BTW - Get some bloody petrol!!

LeeRS · Jan 21, 2015

its above 900 but under 1000. Surely it cant be that accurate

.
I phoned the bloke who owned it before me and he said it has had a remap. He didn't have any reason to bs me as I bought it from a car dealer he had traded it into. I will plug @bob the builder RS tuner in on Saturday. Will it show if it has got a map on it without being unlocked?

LeeRS · Jan 31, 2015

just about to order me one from fastchip.
Its all a bit confusing this site. Can someone just confirm I am doing this right before I order.

I select Clio_2_CBxx from the dropdown list.

Then for module do I select "none"?
as it tries to add on an extra €29 when it says on the page before for €199 it includes the 98ron map.

Website is pretty crap to be fair for a raved about product.

ADS_V6 · Jan 31, 2015
