182 Trophy & 197 F1
Have you bought a licence from Fastchip to get the unit unlocked?
Second hand ones are locked to the original owners car and won't work on any other.

Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later, I'm prepared to wait a few days though. Is the fault code element of the device as accurate and in depth as a diagnostics machine at a garage? Also does the Ron 98 map make much difference? Iv mostly got it for the raised idle and the fault code reader.

On my old Trophy I used my rs tuner to put the 98ron map on, i remember having to find the correct download off the fastchip site as their were a few to choose from based on the ecu software are calibration number or something like that, at a cost of 10Euro. Just had a look now and their just seems to be the one performance calibration for the clio 2. I take it this is a new version and the one i need to download for my new 172 cup?
Yes there are several different version of the map, the 182 one is unique to the 182
172 cup
Well to throw a spanner in the works, but when I used the rs tuner on my cup I was told on here and by the rs tuner software I needed a 7300 map for the 172 cup. Henk sent me a 8200 182 map, which I questioned him about as I got the don't upload warning on the laptop. However he said do it and it worked fine. Confused me a bit?

Yes thats what i thought, you had to determine which download you needed for your specific vehicle like it explains in the manual. I remember their used to be a whole page of different downloads each one 10Euro, now it just seems to be the one download option, performance calibration for the clio 2?

Ok I'm stuck at the first hurdle! I've signed up to fastchip.nl in order to access the downloads section. I've signed up but haven't received the activation email. This is so i can download the fast chip software to my laptop in order to proceed on getting the RSTuner unlocked. Anyone else have to wait long for their activation email?
Last one I got he wanted a screenshot showing the software version etc, he never used to do that, so I assume he is now choosing the cal for you so only needs to list one option?

That's what he did with me. Think he'd had some muppets upload the wrong file to their ECU, and then coming moaning to him when they'd bricked it, so now he's being careful.
Whilst we're on about mapping with the RS Tuner... what calibration software can be used to create and output a map that the RS Tuner will be happy to upload?
What im not sure is if the checksum is in the cal file, or if the rs tuner calculates it and writes it, if its in the cal file, then you are going to need to know that checksum to write your own version.
Actually editing the file itself im sure you could do in WINOLS or similar, or just man up and use a hex editor!

Ok, so i put the new cal file on the car yesterday, went for a 10min drive, all seemed good apart from it started stalling when pulling up to junctions etc. Idle is not great and if you blip the throttle it will drop very low and occasionally stall. The idle was bad before the new cal file was uploaded, i can only presume the throttle body just needs a good clean. Its just that it never stalled before the remap. Any advice appreciated, cheers
Generally the RS Tuner files make idles better not worse, but if you have an underlying problem really it would have been best practice to fix that first.
I would go back to your original files (I assume you kept a backup) and try and fix the throttle issue there if that file wasnt stalling it, then try the modified one once you have it working.
Possibly (im making a guess as Ive not had this issue myself) just the action of applying the map might have altered things though as it will have aquired new throttle limits etc.
So even if you go back to the old file, you may still have the issue.

No, it is 6500

So are the 182s supposed to run normal 95?
Ive been running mine on 98 for ages.

No 1*2 should ever be run on 95

when I change maps on my twingo with my RS tuner it ocassionally stalls at junctions for the first few minutes then its spot on and idles better
182
What was your originalfile which you made copies of 6400 or 7300
All the cups i have done for some reason you only write the cal with 7300_5E10_STG1_RON98 no need for update software.
Non cups have the 6500 update software and 6500_5E11_STG1_RON98
The above are 172 only
172 Cup
Yeh, its definitely the right cal file. Car performance felt so much better. Anyway i had the throttle body off before gave it a good clean (was filthy) Idle seemed good, had it running for about 5mins on the drive, found the idle fairly quick after revving. So fingers crossed it doesnt happen again.

Got the CAL open in hexedit... first 16bytes say RSTUNERENCRYPTED lol
.I just saw this on Henk's website: RSTuner Suite - RSTuner Suite is PC based software that enables you to make changes to the ECU maps (self-tuning).
Might drop him an email sometime.
