RS Tuner Initial Review

[theduck]

not 100% theres a massive thread over on renaultsport about that at the moment, i THINK it improves on it but that tuners are refusing to say it fixes it...

 

[Gaz_]

Doubt it...... but i may look into it also. Saves paying £200~ a time at RS tuning in Leeds......

 

[Fastchip]

If it does then i may have to get one. Does it cure the kangaroo problem do you know?

Nope, I still experience it from time to time. Most of the times I floor it anyway so it doesn't happen to often.......

 

[Fastchip]

Tim(e) has got it on his I believe

Yes Tim(e), trile and a few others.

 

[Chris Mac]

Tim(e) loves his!!

Henk can a 172/182 box be connected to a 225 meggy, or is it completely different?

 

[webb01]

I did see the thread on renaultsport. Any performance gains from it then? Ive only replaced the air filter at the moment not that that makes alot of difference.

 

[Gaz_]

So what exactly do i need for the rs tuner for my 2006 197??

 

[Terry172]

So this works fine on a mk2 ph1 Clio and I should buy the Clio II kit yeah?

Mate you dont get anything with it!

EVERYTHING is available on the website. Manual, software, drivers, maps, the lot!

Plus, Henk has been very very helpful with any queries and i have almost instant replies!

 

[trile]

Very happy with mine.
I got the 95ron.cal file for my 197.
No massive difference (but the car is stock so that's to be expected) but runs better on normal unleaded...smoother.
Picks the revs up a bit faster and I could swear the fuel economy is better

The Megane box is different. Megane uses the Can bus.

any last minute tips for using this software for a first timer before we go and ruin Mike's car tonight? lol

 

[bmh.01]

Make your you've 100% read the manual and understand the versioning system, theres been far too many threads from people who didn't rtfm and then moaning.

 

[Rhino172]

lol makes sense!

 

[mikey_172]

so do i down load the 98 ron file first and load it then down load the rst group n and load it do i do a full write or partial write?

 

[Stuart182]

you doing yours and ryans 2nite mikey

 

[mikey_172]

im gonna have ago at mine tonite matey not doing ryans he is just the instruction manaul

 

[Rhino172]

lol not looking good mate...just read the whole manual and it's a little confusing lol! I'll leave mine in 10 mins...see ya in a bit

 

[mikey_172]

thats because your a homo i got it sorted dont worry lol

 

[mikey_172]

my ecu is currently 6500-2a08.rst and .cal which .cal and.rst files do i need?

 

[mikey_172]

its saying vin not reconised and the car wont start

 

[Homer-Simpson]

Did you back it up? What rst and cal did you upload?

 

[mikey_172]

yeh back it up but the ecu locked me out so i reset it all and rstarted it and managed to restore my standard map i used 6400-2a07 98 ron map my ecu is 6500-2a07

 

[Homer-Simpson]

For the .cal file you need exactly the same first 4 digits.

 

[mikey_172]

do i not need to download the standard rst file first then match that to the 98 ron file ? other wise mines not mappable

 

[mikey_172]

if i down load 6400_2A07.rst (standard map) and 6400_2A07 .cal thats the only way it will match

 

[Homer-Simpson]

One sec, I will need to log in! Ok what are the first 4 characters in your chassis (after the VF1)? CB1N or CB15? or was it something else?

 

[mikey_172]

this is all fecking confusing

 

[Rhino172]

lol its was cb15 was it not?

 

[mikey_172]

cb1/15

 

[Homer-Simpson]

YHPM if you haven't already noticed

 

[gtruk]

.rst first for the full write which in youyr case is 6400_2a07.rst and then 6400_2a07 august .cal and it will work fine

 

[richy22]

What things can you you read from the Clio?? In comparison to his screen shot??

This shows Water Temp, Air Etc etc

 

[richy22]

yeah I should think so otherwise the live mapping part of the Tuner would be a bit shite lol
