Ive just dug the r-sport number out and they tell me that they are the only people supplying the part and they can deliver it to your dealer to fit...
It gives no great increase on 0-60 and top end,however, delivery is supposed to better and smoother, and this apparently makes the car easier to drive.
So the cost as Frosty said there 198.99 + Carriage, VAT and labour!
The gains are about 5% across the range...so the begging question is do we or dont we!
The person to speak to is Johnathan at R - sport!
Havent decide mate - may get the 185BHP kit which cost approx £138 from Lefjie in france - Id imagine thats much better as these guys are renualt tuners from France - they do scoobies and the V6 and cosworths too - loads of experience - and it would seem they have squeezed 185BHP out for £138 quid (220 Euros) not bad eh - just wonder about delivery and fitting though? they also have a 200BHP pack ready which involves much the same as LADs conversion - headwork, cams, filter, exhaust and ecu for 4000 Euros!
My filter is going well - does 100 in 16 dead now - you can feel the benefits of the filter at high revs in 4th and 5th now! freer flowing I guess
i love all these feelings people are getting from such minor mods that give minor gains.
Still dont understand all this excitement over 5%!!!!!!!
Itll be exactly the same as any otehr chip as there is only so much you can do with ignition and minute fueling changes with no increases in the actual volume of air processed....sheesh
You could probably get an extra 5% increase by just polishing the cup, or rip the back seats out and the mats.
Just fitted this new Ecu to my cup, not as easy as it looks!! anyway i havent had time to take it to my mates rolling road yet but there doesnt seems to be a massive effect on the power output but they are only claiming 5%. Its loads easier to get of the line now, before you either stailed or wheel spun, seems they have mapped the fly by wire throttle differently. I will report back when i have taken it on the rollers. I will try both the new and old ecu just to compare the output.
