Switchable Remap Device

[Kazumz]

Hi, I've been searching the web for a few days for a device that will allow me to swap between the default map on my car and a performance map as I wish. I have a Clio 1.2 TCE and would love to be tapping in to 120BHP. Anyone know of a company that sells these devices?

http://www.richtoyremap.com/products/v-switch.html example, but they only offer 15BHP on top of 101BHP

Fastchip, but it would mean remapping your car with a laptop
every time you wanted to go from oem to aftermarket map.

There may be a switchable device for a Clio,
but i've never seen one like you can buy for VW's and Audi's.

Edit: I stand corrected. lol

Why would you want to switch maps?

Revo do this for german stuff ..... many reasons why you might want to

This would be an awesome idea if you could put your own maps on, rather than the above companies.

I heard of a turbocharged bike that had three buttons; road, race and mental(500bhp) lol

It can be done with your own maps

On higher powered stuff with crude boost control (no electronic way of mapping it) yeh I can understand, but with modern boost control I struggle to see the point tbh.

Was gonna put switchable maps on my meganes omex. But there's no point. I just got a boost controller for low boost and high boost

To turn pops 'n' bangs on and off.

To switch between Economy, Original and Performance.

Can you get a boost controller for a Clio? If so, where from?

emerald used to do a 3 map switch unit (for want of a better description) for the MG / Rovers.

Had 3 buttons to mount under the steering column, 1 eco-map, 1 standard, 1 performance.

To switch between Economy, Original and Performance.

There's already a device that does that. The pedal on the right.

The ecu runs closed loop on partial throttle, so that's the economic map, and full throttle will give the performance map. And 50-75% throttle will give the original.

If its a turbo then yes, take your pick. Would ideally need a remap though

RStuner by fastchip. Does the same as the device posted above but with a laptop/netbook instead of being built in the box. You still have to have the car off etc with devices like the one posted above to switch the maps (its not instant unless you have a ecu with something like a twin rom chip of some kind).

As dan says when you are driving not at full throttle the remap should be absolutely no different on fuel anyway. So why would you want to switch it back?

 

[McGherkin]

Main reason for it I can see is to make it a little safer to drive on the roads, so that it doesn't leap off when you brush the throttle, but you'd have to have some serious horsepower to need that.
