chip or r sport ecu

[pennga]

anyone tried the superchip option instead of r sport ecu, the graph looks impressive, plus 8 bhp peakpower increase and its a local upgrade instead of a long drive to hill power. not slating hill power just interested in the chip

 

[Neil82]

Just remember something will go wrong with your Cup so remember this b4 you start modding it...

Well, chris n nic had his Superchipped and it only gave him a 3bhp gain, so he had it removed and now runs the R-Sport ECU.

His car runs the 1/4 mile in 14.1secs @ 98mph now!

Rich did Chris ever strip the car and have the de-cat, exhaust and superchip on when he ran at York? Bet he would he would have got a similar time.

Hi m8

I had the rear seats out (not passenger) and decat/exhaust with Rsport when I got that time. The superchip just didnt feel as quick as the Rsport and didnt raise the limiter in 3rd >. And was more expensive lol. It did make a difference but it wasnt as noticable IMO

Cheers

Chris

I think Id rather get something like SMT6 (which I pick up tomorrow) or Unichip which is programmable to the car regardless of what mods are done

But theres a fair old price difference there mate...



Its kind of like the difference between a PC (Dastek) and a games console (R-Sport) which can both do the same job. The console is cheaper, but the PC can do so much more nd its the case here.

Has anyone tried the RenaultSport Ecu direct from Dieppe?

No...

 

[WannabeeCup]

Where are they based and do you have a contact number? Also rich as you seem to have some extensive knowledge would you know how the rsport compares to say a ktec chip?

 

[Cuppy 172]

Get the r-sport chip

 

[Dansta]

rsport are based in wimbledon.

 

[WannabeeCup]

Quality, thats only up the road from me, will be easier to find now. Will have a look in yellow pages at some point. Anyone know how much it costs and do you have a number? (Saves me from checking yellow pages <-lazy b*****d)

 

[Mutu172]

Is R-Sport,Radbourne Racing under a different name?

 

[RobFenn]

Yep.

 

[Neil82]

Just remember even tho the R SPORT ECU looks the same as the standard one and has similar ecu codes the Renault garage can tell right away if its been modded, so beware if its going in for warrenty work.

 

[pennga]

neil82cup, sorry was being a bit wide myself, things on me mind, thought at first you were another cup sl*gger and was pished to be honest

 

[pete172]

i had a magnex catback exhaust and superchip fitted. i have not had a drive of a 172/cup with replacement ecu so cant say if a chip is better or worst. it has certainly put a bit more life into the cup though. you can feel the increase in torque at low revs when pulling away. they car no longer feels like it going to stall. the plus for me is that it cannot be detected .

 

[Neil82]

Pete I bet they can tell its been superchipped..

 

[pete172]

i hope not. i dont know how i could find out about this as i dont want to ask renault

 

[Neil82]

I got mine put on my dads pals fault diog machine thing and it comes up and tells you the ECU code and it obviously doesnt match the standard one, I would think it would show up that your ECU has been tampered with as well.

 

[dmf81]

contact information on rsport is 020 8542 0042 or 020 8540 9991. they are radbourne racings old numbers. ask for a guy called johnathen.

 

[dmf81]

the address is

unit 9

nelson trading estate

its just up the road from south wimbledon station. behind staples.

 

[dmf81]

they cant tell if you swap your ecu back to the original before service.
