Which single mod gives biggest improvement ?

[Sipha]

Which single modification in your opinion gives the best improvement in power output/delivery from:

Induction Kit
Matched Inlets
RS Tuner/Chip

Car is 1*2

£ for £, RS Tuner.

as said above ^^^^

 

[Dave..]

remap on its own probably wouldnt do much, when combined with decat and matched inlets, then it'd be a lot more effective

 

[Fred@BTM]

learning how to drive it

 

[172Ben]

Strip it, then track days

 

[Da]

The RS Tuner will improve driveabilty/power delivery noticeably.

The other two wouldn't in my opinion.

 

[Sipha]

learning how to drive it

Haha, touché

I'm considering some VERY subtle upgrades in the not too distant future but don't really want to spend a fortune and I'm dubious about the real life difference some of these 'mods' will actually make.

Thanks for any input guys

On a car with none RS stamped inlets then the inlet matching imo.

If it has matched inlets though, then RS Tuner/remap.

 

[aucky]

Strip!

 

[Jonnyb182]

Remap doesnt need to be fastchip any good one will do avoid generic mapping. If you have a 172 then go for inlets matched. But to be honest its nots going to be hugely different unless you spend more ££.

A remap is upwards of £300 though, and for the money (£100~) you can't beat the RS Tuner generic maps.

Inlets is dependant on the engine and IK is on the whole proven to lose power.

 

[Sipha]

So an RS tuner remap and matched inlets would probably yield the best bang for buck ya ?

 

[Da]

Depends, we talking a 172 or a 182?

You'll feel a difference with the RS Tuner map alone.

 

[SteveS Cup]

I'm also dubious about modding a NA engine.

Do people who have all the above mods think they're worth it!?

I could put my decat and stealth exhaust from my old cup on my 172 but for the gains I don't think it's worth putting up with the noise! Plus I can't see the point unless i do the other mods mentioned above. Which I personally don't think offer the sort of gains I'd want for the money they cost.

 

[Sipha]

FF 172, so probably dont have RS stamped inlets..

Even on a car with just a panel filter? Where do I get it done? For £100 I'm intruiged!

 

[SteveS Cup]

What models have the rs stamped inlets and what's the difference?

 

[172Ben]

FF 172, so probably dont have RS stamped inlets..

FF 172?

I had inlets, rstuner and exhaust.

Id rather just strip it now, and drive it

 

[Jonny1*2]

Why is the rstuner better than a tdf or RS tuning remap?

 

[172Ben]

Its not better, imo a live map will always be better.

But when you can buy the RSTuner for £170, remap it and sell it for £100.

Its a bargain.

 

[JCC]

The RS tuner map is more about increasing driveability than just power gains i.e giving you a smoother power delivery throughout the rev range rather than feck all until 5k then getting it all in one go.

 

[Sipha]

Don't JMS do a fully fitted/tested RS Tuner remap for £140 tho ?

 

[172Ben]

Yeh, double the price of doing it yourself really. Unless you dont know what you are doing of course.

 

[realnumber 1]

I would say good tyres imo.

 

[Tom@JMS]

Drive or be driven in a car with the work done. That way you can always make up your mind if it is really worth your heard earned pounds.

 

[SteveS Cup]

Do you have a car I can test drive then???

 

[WILLIE]

Yeh, double the price of doing it yourself really. Unless you dont know what you are doing of course.

What about the download of the ecu maps etc? Is there a price for them or is it all accessible within the kit?

 

[Tom@JMS]

We have a 182 & a 172, both of which we gladly take people out in day to day, at meets or on trackdays to help people make up their own mind. Unfortunately we do not have the posh insurance (yet) where anyone can drive the company cars.

 

[172Ben]

From what i remember its all included within the price

 

[sideways danny]

you want to get a 200sx engine in it Si

 

[TimR26]

Group N engine and gearbox mounts have given the biggest improvement to my car so far. Car felt completely transformed after with sharper throttle response, tighter steering and better handling.

 

[Jonny1*2]

Its not better, imo a live map will always be better.

But when you can buy the RSTuner for £170, remap it and sell it for £100.

Easy to do mate? Does it plug direct into the ecu or under the ash tray?

 

[172Ben]

Under the ash tray. Yeh mega easy, just read the instructions and you're away

 

[Sipha]

Lol, I've probably got enough bits left over lying around to make 1 up and shove it in

 

[Jonny1*2]

Hmmm tempting for sure. No power loss with it? Probably should get it mapped properly, but not got the funds

 

[Sipha]

I'd do the whole RS Tuner thing myself but would be worried to death I was going to brick my ECU, I think I'd rather Pay JMS to do it properly...

 

[172Ben]

You make a back up before you re-write, so if it goes wrong, just restore (Like an iPhone)

You cant go wrong really.

No power loss no

Not a lot will make your 1*2 faster, but by god will it sound faster!
