I've left posting about the RS tuner 98 ron map i fitted a couple of weeks ago , i wanted to get a few miles under its belt before claiming its a million times better !
So ive done two odd weeks with it on driving work home everywhere etc to see if there really is a difference !!
First off ,
Well all i can say is if you don't have this on your car, you are missing out ! its biblical , literally amazing, my first impressions were not the difference in power but how smooth the revs seamed to be, when you let off the throttle whilst pulling up to a junction, mine use to be rather jerky and it was kind of , on off , now its completely different , let off and roll up its smooth no jumpy jerky motions loovely
Second off , the mpg is it any better really? well i normally kill a tank in 1 and a half weeks to 2 weeks driving around to work , missus' and the pub ! obviously it depends how i drive the car to what i get , ive seen anywhere between 23-29mpg combined , usually i get between 180-220 miles out of a tank
The maps been on for two weeks and i filled up that day on Shell Vpower Nitro +, and I have not by any means drove it conservatively as i wanted to test the car (had a play with my mates Type R more on that later ) I now at this moment have a combined of 250 miles under its belt with another 58 according to the trip (but id like to say i dont trust these) which equates to the one full bar above the red left !! Not bad at all imo as its not been driven kindly , very happy with that !!
Power - well there's disputes saying it makes no more power than standard , which could well be true and maybe a placebo effect , but the way the car pulls is a complete different animal , its so much better to drive day to day, you have to worry about getting up high in the revs to the magical 5k kick to overtake or go around , it pulls hard straight from 2k to the new limiter of 7.5k (which i don't use scared cat)
As stated before the map i had a play with my friends Civic Type R , well looked after service , and has a AEM typhoon V2 induction , before we were pretty much neck and neck and to be honest after a while , he pulled a little on me !
Now we were having a play the other night ! ( all sensible nothing silly before the high horse comments don't worry) and I was literally letting off the throttle behind him , when given the chance I left him and pulled a good length on his ! He was in no way amused and told me to remove the map straight away haha !!
But that to me says that maybe its more than a placebo effect, this really does the job !
So to summarise , if you want your car to be better on fuel , more powerful , more fun and beat your friends type R this is a MUST !! lol
Comments welcome please more the merrier
