GrpN ECU vs. Remap

[manicmonkey]

Whats the difference? performance + features?

The RS Tuning remap sounds quite good value for money

They are a very simialr thing. The are essentially a fixed map for the F4R that is designed to accomodate breathing mods amongst other things (opens throttle faster too).

I have a group n on my 172 ans it was £250 odd from Hillpower for a whole ECU not just a map. It's the single best mod I've mad to my car out of inlet, maxogen and cat back exhaust.

ladylout has convinced me, defo gonna get one of them as my next mod.

Looking at the RS Tuning thread along with this, I still wonder which options the best: the GrpN ECU or their remap?

Both the same price or thereabouts, both give extra power. With the GrpN though I guess it's a swop so you might keep the original if ever you need it for whatever reason.

I think I'll treat myself to one of the two, just can't decide which!

Cheers, Rob669.

It's for a whole ECU. Think it was £270.

The beauty of it is that you have your standard ECU as a spare should you wish to return your car to standard at any point in the future.

 

[manicmonkey]

I think you have to give them your old ecu in exchange cos they cost so much!

 

[Lagerlout]

Well I didn't. My old ecu is still in my glovebox.

Is your's a MK1 or a MK2?
Whichever that's a bargain as a new ECU from renault is around £300+VAT Retail.

Ph2 172.

Sounds like you've done well with the ecu Lagerlout

 

[RSTuning]

^^ Not half! I have 5 PH1 ECU's which i can supply cheap and outright but as for PH2 & 182 not a chance lol.

Back to the thread...

Our remap vs a groupn

The only true test would be on a rolling road on the same car

I got an Rsport about 3 years ago now...like Lager said...best mod for small breathing mods. My problem is I`m my ecu isn`t working exactly right and I`m worried that a remap won`t make a big difference...get another Rsport or pay that bit extra for a remap. Is there anyway I can check the Rsport to see if it working right?
