What is a Group N remap?

[mike1pow]

Looking through k tec today and saw the Group N remap. As you know it raises the rev limit and does other stuff but is it woth the cash? I think JMS do it for 135 fitted.

What sort of price is the RS tuner too? and what are the benefits of this?

Cheers

RSTuner is about 140 euros from I think, look on the fastchip website.

Benefits is that you do it yourself, and will have the ability to remap it at any point as you just use a laptop.

so can you raise the rev limit and change the mapping of the RS then?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

You download pre-made maps of the website specifically made for your car/engine.

Yes they do raise the rev-limit.

is it not better to get your car mapped
on a rr?
i mean no engines the same ?

You can sometimes get marginally better results via a rolling road map, however as I do not deal with them at all I can't tell you the other advantages. Whether a RR live map is worth x4 of the price on a lightly modified road car is probably debatable. For heavier tuning starting @ Cams it is an essential to really get the best from the money spent on parts and fitting.

Henk's RStuner maps are developed by gathering data and live RR sessions to get the best out of a lightly modified RS clio.

Custom live maps would be my prefered choice but the RS Tuner is a great tool if you know how to use it. Its a good price too.

 

[stevo172-RWD]

if the price is right then do it.

depends if you want to take it futher later with other mods!

 

[mike1pow]

was planning on matched inlets and panel filter for now untill i feel the need for more power. so to keep it on the cheap i didnt really want to go down the RR mapping route

Nothing will ever be as good as a live map, a map made for your mods.

But for the money, the RSTuner is amazing.

Well worth the £150 odd, and for fault reading etc, its an added bonus

I had the Group N remap done by JMS. It made a a difference to the car, smoothed the lumpy idle out and made the car more responsive. The guys there are really helpful and ended up getting their stage 1 and 2 packages done as the prices are spot on and the service is second to none.
