Rs tuning map any good?

[Pobox]

been thinking of doing it on my 182, just wondering what you guys who have it think of it? I've heard it improves the horrible cold behavior so is it by a lot?

RS Tuner or RS tuning? Different things, but I'm guessing you mean RS Tuner.

I've been contemplating doing it to mine TBH.

Best mod for the money on the rs clio imo.. Improves so much

 

[McGherkin]

Doesn't it increase torque lower down? At the moment it's like the 1.2 until it kicks off at 5k.

 

[ed55j]

Yep tis brill

 

[N4TH4N]

Yea ive had an increase lower down and still it still kicks at 5k

 

[Martin_172]

mid range torque is massively improved with the flat spot before 5k ironed out!

 

[Dannyeff]

Think this is going to be my next mod.

sorry ts tuner from fast chip, i heard it makes the limiter higher?

 

[ed55j]

Slightly increases the limiter yes, from 7200 to 7500 off the top of my head.

 

[Fletcher]

Yep, well worth the money!

 

[Addicted]

As per the 99 million other threads on it, best money you can spend!

I'm sure peak power is lower than the original limiter so what is the point ? Unless it's a race car and you need to hang that gear a little longer at the end of a streight

Am I the only one that actually really likes extra kick at 5000 rpm?

I have this all ready to go on my car but have struggled to find an idiot's guide to doing it, step by step (the online user guide doesn't quite cover this IMO), in order to ensure success.

After I'd ordered the product, Henk sent me an updated OEM configuration file and also a 98 RON calibration map. I assume the sequence is to read both the configuration and calibration on the current setup (and save back-ups), then apply the updated OEM configuration and new calibration map in that order?

The guide on here is really helpful

Ah right, not found that yet!! Thanks :up:

In reply to the op, mine idles quite lumpy especially when cold not sure if this is due to remap or caf
When cold idles at 1100 then quickly settles to 850
But knowing my car it could be something else lol
The increased revenue limit makes a lovely noise I still feel as if I have a flap spot but unsure if that's just because of the 5k ish kick is so strong.

Mine is noticibly faster than my m8s standard one but again it's a Clio so could be due to anything lol

 

[James]

I wouldn't suggest revving a F4R over the standard limit very often. I'm sure I've read they become weak at high revs with out uprated bits

 

[RichieJA]

I don't much drive much above 5 unlessmim having some fun whichnisnone a week usually I hate duh duh duh of the rev limiter so don't go close there is always the green great stick to let you know

 

[ADS_V6]

Go on youtube.Fastchip guides are on there,looked daunting but is simple in reality .

 

[Alex P1]

My current 172 has a rs tuner map and is by the far the best mpg out of my previous clio's, saying that it idles at around 1000 mark but i think that's just a clio thing ha.

 

[ADS_V6]

Was getting 30mpg with rs tuner around town,down to 24 with custom map

 

[RichieJA]

Mine said 440 miles out of a tank its prob lying

 

[MartinR]

Best thing you can do to a mk2 on the cheap

Something must be terribly wrong if you're getting that fuel economy! I get around 38-40 mpg on a normal day which includes a 100 mph+ blast on the straights (It's legal where I live ;D )
