buying RS Tuner help

[LeeRS]

Can it do that?

Arnt these locked to individual cars?

yes, it will display what is currently on the ecu but you cannot change anything.

 

[LeeRS]

all ordered. Looking forward to see the difference it makes now.

So when I get it i plug it in, take a screenshot, send Henk an email and wait for the unlock code?
Shall I put in that email that I require the 98ron map file aswell?

Once I receive all that I plug it in again, enter the unlock code, backup my original ecu, reconnect and then run the map file?

that's what I understand anyway after watching the vids on the site.

i think it can i got 1 second hand loaded map said fastchip on the screen,but i cant get 97 in third or 7600 henk said i might have loaded the standard file by mistake

I can easily reach that in third with my.map. try redoing it mate

 

[LeeRS]

@N4TH4N can you do mine if I get the codes and everything? I just don't want to balls up my ecu. Will get u a beer.

 

[ADS_V6]

yeh i bleedin sold it a day later i got a 2nd hand 1 coming,have to do map and license again what is your idle when car is warm m8

 

[N4TH4N]

@LeeRS

Of course mate no problem

 

[N4TH4N]

@ADS1982

When cold it idles just over 1k i think

Once it starts to warm settles down to exactly 950 and stays there.

 

[LeeRS]

@N4TH4N I ordered it last night so hopefully be here mid week.

 

[N4TH4N]

No worries mate we sort it for ya. Really is as simple as spreading butter on toast

my Mrs does that for me as well.

 

[ADS_V6]

if you cant put the bread in the toaster then youre stuffed doing the rs tuner lol

 

[LeeRS]

:smile: joking.
I could do it but I just don't want to fry my ecu by making a mistake. Buying n4th4n a pint is cheaper than replacing the ecu. From what I've read, you didn't do yours properly as your buying another one :smiley:

 

[ADS_V6]

yeh i thought i did it correct but,i gotta feeling just reloaded the standard map,yes a wally i know nevermind just watched fastchips videos i can see what i did wrong

 

[N4TH4N]

I seriously don't know how you went wrong @ADS1982 .. It really is read current files and write new files..

Did you have a few beers whilst doing it? lmao

@LeeRS It should be here shortly.. I'm off work Wed & Thur so either day is fine for me assuming it's here by then.

 

[ADS_V6]

nath ive just had it idling on the drive when warm its idling at just under 1000rpm,i just realised the 172 cup has diff gear ratios oops i think it is mapped

That sounds right to me. I think your over thinking it tbh mate.

 

[ADS_V6]

yes i think so ,im changing the coolant sensor again tomz as taking ages to warm up stat is fine french crap lol

 

[warwickstingray]

News to me. A 205/45/16 is bigger than a 195/45/16 which is what I was under the impression caused the different speeds before the limiter in my Cup and the 182 I had on track. Phase 1 has different gearing.

 

[LeeRS]

@N4TH4N have i got to wait 24 hours for the unlock code? When does he send me the map file aswell?

 

[N4TH4N]

He normally sends it within 24 hrs yes both at the same time if i recall correctly.

 

[Addicted]

Telling if you have the map or not by speed in gear is not the way to go. Go by Idle and RPM Limiter only.

 

[MrBlonde]

Im looking to get this done soon to,but is there no garages that can do this for me?.so i just turn up pay them to map it?

 

[ADS_V6]

addicted what is the 3rd gear limiter on the rs tuner?

 

[LeeRS]

hi @MrBlonde I believe you just do it yourself with a laptop. Its meant to be plain sailing but I would rather someone who has done it before do it for me.
@Addicted you should hear this induction kit lol. Like a lion sitting next to me.
