    Making my way over from N. Ireland to pay a visit to RSTuning to get my 275 Cup-S mapped tomorrow (boat tonight 01:55).

    Excited :smile:

    That is all.

    Will definitely ask for those print outs :smile:

    Only slight downside being, I run on 97 RON as that is the best we get in NI, so it won't be mapped for 99 RON.

    Can you describe the RS Tuning experience. I want to get my 265 remapped there. What was your power/torque figures before and after?

    Mine was 277 with 3inch decat turboback and induction kit. 306 with 330/40 ft with remap, need intercooler for 320ish. Great guys there. Paul mapped my supercharged clio and it ran great for a 300bhp car with standard block

    Sounds good! Add a few bolts-ons to mine and get it booked in. Seems to vary quite a bit on what standard cars are producing. How did you get in at the EVO triangle? I live not far from there......great roads [emoji6]

    That's a long drive.

    I've been thinking the drive from London is long and I've been putting it off because of that

    Just parked up about to board the boat. It's a 500 mile round trip for me not including whatever distance the boat covers, sure it's all a bit of fun :smiley:

    My totally standard RS250 made 262bhp / 282lbs, mapped it made 300bhp/ 342lbs.
    The drive home was huge fun, I guess yours will be even better, enjoy! :-)

    No doubt my 97 Ron fuel will hold me back a bit...but fingers crossed for good power anyway

    Is an intercooler going to provide more power at the dyno ? I understand efficiency when doing hot laps but I am not sure that just by adding an IC we can obtaing 10hp ... I need prove of this and I cannot find an HP comparison test.

    Pretty much every Megane males different power with the same mods, FYI i was over 330bhp on the stock turbo before i went Hybrid, Ive seen people with the same spec as mien was only running 310ish. All down to the individual car.

    Peak figures mean nothing anyway, its the stuff under the curve that is the important part.

    Has anyone blown up a mk3 yet?.
    I havnt seen any concrete facts about what Renault did ,
    to make the internals handle more than the mk 2`s upper ceiling of roughly 300/300.

    I assume they must have changed the rods,but I heard the pistons are the same.

    What were the pistons good for on a Mk2?

    MK3's can take 500bhp, As for rods, No one has really tested it but there are ones with upto 400ftlbs and haven't self destructed yet. Im running 365bhp/385ftlbs through mine at the moment with plans to increase that another 20-30 after winter. Im quite tempted to see just how far they can be pushed, But then it isn't just about the peak figures, How they are mapped makes a big difference.


    I have seen people on the continent mention that its boost pressure that kills them and ~1.65bar is generally the safe limit.

    Pistons are completely different on a mk3 there forged and better than most aftermarket ones.
    Allegedly the rods are the same as early 225's so slightly sturdier than the later 225's/r26's which share the rods out of the 172/182's.
    I also heard the exhaust valves are sodium filled to help dissipate heat.

    Pistons are only good for just north of 300 on a mk2 according to Paul at rstuning

    Why are people getting so inpatient, Its not as if its something thats never been done before LOL


    I'd expect 300-315bhp and ~350ftlbs.

    Because he'd built up the excitement of the trip and the remap and people joined in with him, humouring him a little if you like.

    Without a follow-up, it feels a little flat. It's part of what the forum is for, is it not?

    I went local and a bit cheap with my remap!

    Got the 303hp but only 310ftlbs but i'm happy with it.
