Question about rs tuner

[Jack Gilbert]

Please move if in wrong section but thought it was most relevant.

just a quick question, when using the rs tuner is It possible to use the 98 RON map and pops and bangs? Or is it one or the other? If that makes sense

pops n bangs is the 98 ron map! just adjusted to make silly noises.

 

[Jack Gilbert]

Oh so getting the pops and bangs would be RON 98 with additional silly noises? Correct?

 

[MartinR]

yep

 

[Ray Gin]

.....You sure?!

Yep X2

 

[Ray Gin]

I thought it was the JMS over run map which was the 2 combined?! My over run map is certainly not the same as the 98 RON map with added noises...

I've got the 98 Ron map and overrun map, and have noticed no difference bar the noise.

 

[Ray Gin]

Doesn't the 98 RON map smooth out the 5k kick? I still have the kick.

Yes. I have a ktec stealth/ decat maxogen IK and 98 RON map and no longer have the 5k kick.

 

[Ray Gin]

Hmm. :S I still have the kick. Odd.

You sure you havn't lost the map? Ha, you were saying yours didnt pop anymore.

Mine has no kick anymore with overrun.

 

[Ray Gin]

It pops but not as much as it used to. I have a lambda sensor on the way out though, not sure if that will affect it.

 

[Fletcher]

Hmm. :S I still have the kick. Odd.

Have you still got your RS tuner Liam?

 

[Ray Gin]

Afraid not, sold it on.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Same map other than the over run stuff.

I would advise against it personally its only ever going to do your car harm in the long run.

 

[Ray Gin]

Would there be any particular reason why I still have the 5k kick? Just got the usual sheep mods.

Your interpretation of how hard it kicks is different to someone elses perhaps?

Even with the RS Tuner map there is still a notable increase in torque at around 5Krpm, thats where the standard cams and standard inlet actually briefly work together really well, the RS Tuner map just partially fills in the torque hole beneath that point, but it cant work magic and give you 150lbft of torque at 3500rpm or whatever.

When people say it "smooths out 5k kick" they just mean you feel it a bit less, not that you achieve a flat torque curve, you dont!

 

[Ray Gin]

Ah, it may well have just smoothed out a bit then, still notice it the same as before though

 

[Chip-mk1]

If your cam timing is slightly out it can exagerate it by making you have even less torque under 5k.
