The latest available. Make sure you load the right calbration according to the software version your car is using. The ECU software version can be seen from the main screen when connected to the car.

Ask your Q...

Hey,

Basically I was curious to know if this tuner kit would work on any other cars? I have a Punto JTD (OBD2) and I wouldn't mind it getting it remapped.

 

[Coby.]

I think I shall be ordering this Kit Next Month

Been thinking about it for ages, Just need to borrow a Laptop to load it onto

I'm prob gonna get shot down in flames for asking this but will the RS Tuner work with bodies and cams??

Received my kit on friday, tried using it today for the first time but when trying to connect I get the following messages...

'Could not start communications with ecu.'

and

'Unrecognised Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).'

Anyone got any ideas? Im awaiting a reply from Henk.

 

[Simon_172]

with this kit does anything get left on the car from the kit? or could we pay one of you guys that have the kit to re map our cars?

 

[gtruk]

You can remap other cars but have to pay a for an additional license i belive to be able to map the other car.

I had this same problem on my 197, until I figured it out. I had omitted the part of the "getting started" where it says to insert the keycard to the keycard slot prior to trying to connect with RSTuner. After that it worked like a charm.

I'm still waiting for the calibration file for my RS Clio III 197 tho

I connected the obd to the car and then turned the ignition on (I wasn't sure if it meant to actually start the engine or put it on the 2nd click? - but I tried both) Then openened rstuner and pressed 'connect' and got those error messages.

Still awaiting a reply from Henk.

I think if you do a search this happened someone before - I seem to recall it happening before anyway and it was to do with the chassis (VIN) number not being supported. In the previous instance Henk changed something and got it sorted.

If you read the manual properly, it says to run the sorftware, then it prompts u to turn the ignition on. Maybe try that?

Update on My progress - Read the ECU and the Cal file off the car and saved to Memory stick- Now to download the correct remap and go for a drive in the sun

Got it working! Had to turn the ignition, then plug the obd in and then start the software. Strange.

I backed up the .cal and the ecu just to be safe and then loaded the 7300 .cal file.

Only had a very short run to work, which most was waiting for the engine to heat up, but it ran alot less 'lumpy' from cold. Gave it one little blast and it felt alot better - the 5k kick was a bit more spread out and it felt like it pulled harder than before. (Was only using 95 ron fuel as well)

Will need to do a PA with the standard .cal and then another with the ron98.cal and 98 fuel to see the difference really.

just ordered one

Just finished remapping mine. Car has gained a max of 10Nm of torque between 3500 and 4500rpm. It has also gained 5kw of power between this rev range.

Torque and power are up over the rev range up to about 6000rpm where it is pretty much the same as stock.

Car idles allot less lumpy so overall I'm very impressed with the results. Ive been told the car needs about 10 decent runs before the map settles in so ill do another performance test then although it obviously wont be as accurate as conditions will have changed.

Wonder if they will ever make a kit for the Mk1 F7R engines
