Re-Mapping a Clio 1.4 RT

[MitChyyyy]

hi, ive been offerd to have my Clio 1.4 RT 1998 re mapped for free, what are the ups and down's of this baring in mind its a petrol, as ive heard it is far less effective having a remap to what it would if it was a diesel?

Cheers Mitch

If its free just do it, get a cam fitted beforehand though and you might get some gain.

 

[theduck]

why is it free?

why is it free?

+1

the fact its a diesel doesn't mean it gains power from a re map its turbo diesels which see the gains due to the turbo re map.
So just fit a turbo then re map it and you'll see some uber gains

wouldnt the extra insurance cost out weigh any (if any) power gains???? wouldnt bother IMHO.

 

[MitChyyyy]

its free cause my m8 is a mechanic , so basically it would be a waste of time? i wasnt so much the power i was botherd about it was the petrol, as i am a student only on a part time job i cant be paying a s**t load out for petrol all the time

if its free do it...

If he does then mass cs meet for free remap!

 

[Alastair.]

so ur mates a mechanic, does he actualy have the software, rolling road etc, or is he just gunna put a resistor in your airflow meter courtesy of ebay.

Rt clio isn't that a mk1? That won't be a remap that will be a soldered in chip or as ali said a resistor. So no don't do it

 

[MitChyyyy]

its the one before the one on ur picture, and yeah he has all the stuff to do it, but im 2 minds weather or not too do it, as im not too intrested in the car, i just want a cheap run about until my insurance goes down then ill look at getting something faster and better

Why not if its got EFI (which i believe all the 1.4 energ lumps), its just as remappable as a Valver / Williams / 172 e.t.c and their stock ECU's.

Soldering may be required, but its required on every valver and williams too, so no different.

You would get more power from mapping a vibrating butt plug than the Renault 1.4 EJ7 engine
