How to install RSTuner???

[Russ.]

I'll jump on this thread to ask a quick question -

My original ecu program was 8100_7803.rst.

Can i upgrade to either of the following -

• 8200_7C03.rst
• 8200_7804.rst

I currently have 8200_7804 installed. I was wondering if 8200_7C03 would work and if so am i likely to see any differences?

You should be putting the .cal file iirc after have put the ECU write on.......

You need to match up the VIN no. (4 through 7) of your vehicle to the VIN quoted in the .rst & .cal files.
My '05 plate 182 had a CB22 Vin, so I used the 8200_7804 .rst & .cal files.

I think yours is probably the same as mine.

I wouldn't use the 8200_7C03 files, but if you've already done it, what happened?

Yes you have to read the ECU, save it to your laptop (!) then write it with the correct .rst file so it can then accept the correct .cal file.

How is your impression since installation mate(Zygalski)?

It seems very slightly quicker with fractionally better throttle response but the main difference is that it pulls better at low revs. I think the torque has been increased a fair bit.
I think I'm right in saying that the standard 182 came with 148 lb/ft & after the remap mine was RR'd at 163.3 lb/ft.

I have no idea about average mpg because I tend drive the car hard once it's warmed up.

I expect Henk could give some average facts & figures as to what to expect.

I agree with all elements of Zygalski.... except mine is on a 172

Do you have any other mods like a decat, widened exhaust pipes, muffler, cai (cold air intake)?? Or is it a stock Rs?

Do you need a battery charger to install/use the RS Tuner on a 172? Or just drive the car for an hour or so before you use it?

 

[DaveDreads]

Depends on how much charge you have in your battery.

My battery was almost flat the other month and the RST wouldn't connect, I thought it was knackered,
I charged the battery up and all was fine.

You just need a battery with enough charge to have the ignition on for about 20 mins,
if your battery doesn't have enough charge the Fastchip program wont let it connect to the ecu.
