Tuning advice - take it to Renault or buy an RS Tuner ?

[PhilWalterNZ]

Its been a good several years I suspect since my 182 has been 'plugged in' and given a proper tune or system check by a Renault service centre.

Is there much likely to be gained from this, or would I be better off putting the money towards an RS Tuner and doing it myself along with the advantages of a slighty tweaked tune the RS Tuner would give me ?

RSTuner over Renault anyway!

 

[franx]

hhaha Renault ?? Henk knows Renault more than the people in Dieppe i reckon

 

[Dan@SJM]

Renault don't/aren't able to make any fuelling/ignition changes. All they can do is update the Ecu firmware (if there is a newer revision)

The RS Tuner is a good bit of kit for a relatively cheap price if you get one second hand.

The generic remap worker well on my 182

Do you mean the 98RON map - or does it come with a base map ?

Yeah u can only get the Ron 98 or overrun pops and bangs. Well worth it, overall drivebility improves dramatically. Smooths out power band etc.

Also now winters on way it improves cold starts.

Or summer for those of us who live on the other side of the world ;-)

I am coming to the UK for 3 weeks work in November so maybe I can pick a 2nd hand one up when I am over there. They seem to sell pretty quickly though.

Just put the 98ron map on mine, altho I was nervous updating the ECU software, its pretty simple, and I would recommend it, well well worth the money...

Yep, RSTUner is pound for pound the best mod you can do.

I think I must have written that post around 50 times now

 

[Cuplica]

Can it be done with a Mac... Or an android phone?

Or at the very least... "Best way to do it"
