WOW, long story behind this, sold an Rsport ecu to Hkka from the forum and he didnt like it, so agreed if it was send back to me unlocked I would refund him. So all that got sorted and I wish I hadnt sold it now after all that trouble.

Currently running an SMT6 piggyback so thats why I sold the ECU, but after all the above hastle I fitted it to my car, f**k me it goes rather well now in fact as good as when I switch my NOS on without it switched on if you know what I mean.

Power is dramatically increased!, runs at a slightly higher idle speed as to be expected, but so so pleased with it.

So anyone thinking about getting an RS ecu all I can say is get it you wont be dissapointed:D

Was this the same one Nik had?

If so I dont think it had the same effect on his at the time - lol

im new to this and im hoping to get a chip for my clio,

can any of you guys relate to me what you have done? ie have you changed the complete ecu or have you fitted a chip in it?

what ecu/chips have you got, where did you get them from and how much,

many thanks simon

The ECU replacement mentioned above is a whole new ECU with different maps. It will only work on 172s though.

The piggy back ecu fakes the sensors to the ECU to do other things ie increases fueling etc and injection timing depending on the SMT being used.

For the 1.4 your options are smt (£500) or a superchip remap. However unless your spending a fortune I dont see any point remapping the engine cams etc yes but for the minimal gains (3 hp if your lucky) there no point. If you want more power get a 172 or 182 engine suspension gearbox brakes reaiator ecu etc for £1.5k and transplant it into your car its a whole lot cheaper.

The people who have posted above usuauly have a few mods to there car so they need some extra fueling and there gains are higher than a 1.4 would get with a remap and the same mods.

okay thanks well ive got a new exhaust, a k&n induction kit and im getting a de-cat soon so what chip is best?

the smt6

Will I need a remap or a new ECU if I add a new zorst or ITG Filter panel?
Cheers, guys.

No idea what the spark timing is like on that engine you might need the 7 instead of the 6 if the timing bad (although Id not expect so).

Gains are so minimal though I just wouldnt recomend remapping. You wont feel any difference.

Get a closed induction kit with a cold air intake though.

I have a 1.4 16 (2001 model) and as standard it got up to 116mph. After I put 17" wheels on it, it struggled to pass 95-100mph. Once I got it superchipped I was getting closer to 120mph. So the chip can make a difference on a 1.4 but when your driving normally its not very much. Oh and with 15" wheels on my 0-60 time was about 9.5 seconds.

iv got a 182 what sort of gains would i be looking at with a piggy back or a stand alone and what sort of price are they?

With ref to your pm andy, have already run it using my clip to ensure all is ok.

Recorded data run up the for 5 mins when warm, didnt wana run the risk of f**king up my engine;)

£500 for an SMT device with custom mapping. Remaps after more mods are quite cheap though I think. You wont get huge gains out of a stock engine just a few hp top end and a smooth map. However combine it with some intake manifold work exhaust and induction kit etc and you could see 10~12hp depending on engines.

Replacment ECUs are £250 but Im not sure the 182 one is out.

Irfan - I dont mean to be awquard but how accurate is your testing did you do runs both direction were the temps the same etc. The extra power you need to jump from 100 to 120 is huge no remap would get you that. If you dont agree then fine Im always interested in being proved wrong. My quick calculation show that youd need about 40% more power to do it. You might just have hit a limit and the remap just gave you that bit extra to push you over a 100 limit to the top end of the engine can prove.

Ive driven a 1.4 and had it to 125 indicated stock car on the autobahn there was some more still in it but the speedos not hugly accurate at these speeds. You have to remember engine get better with milage mine much quicker with 47k than any new engine car (Ive driven a few new 65hp dcis so I can tell). My Willaims is the same its way quicker with 100k on it.

edde i agree with everything your saying there, but comparing a 1.4 16v to a 65bhp dci isnt fair, the 1.4 is 100bhp engine IIRC

^^ its 98 bhp m8, my old engine on 47k done 130mph flat out but my new engine (the other one broke) only gets to 105-110! LOL

so what would give more power?

piggy back chip or a new ecu?

and which piggy back chip and which ecu?

Your engine needs a certain amount of fuel and air mixing to much and the engine gets rich to little and he engine runs lean which isnt good either.

However there some tolerance a little more than the shymatic (or whatsver its called) of 14.7 air to fuel ratio and the engine makes more power at the expense of some emmisions a little less fuel and you have a more econimical engine with less power.

A piggy back chip will have custom made maps.

There is no new ECU availiable you have to go with a ECU remap from Superchip but its not custom made so Id go for the piggy back option. However the superchip option probably has a higher rpm limiter.

The piggy back will make more power or least put the right amount of fuel in no off the shelf aftermarket maps can do this even engines requirments are different. Even ones with the same mods will made different power depending on how good they are.
