Remap Advice

Try Danny at 519 Automotive in Bedford

 

Sorry your better of ringing

 

Tour de force over Bedford way do maps supported by Rs tuning. Well worth a call IMO.
Lee.

 

Aren't TDF in Cambridge

 

Or give Paul a ring at RS tuning, I'm sure a stage 1 and remote box would be ok.

 

The Rs tuner map is done by a well known guy in meganesport tuning called henk.
Many people have his map with no problems.
If you compare the 2 options you are basically getting the same equipment and a similar map..why RS tuning charge so much more is unclear.

You are always better getting the map done on site ,as a rolling road will show up any problems with your car,aswell as the map being tweeked for the maximum power achievable,to
your own personnel vehicle.

A uploaded basemap wont give you the same performance as a live mapped car.

 

I really wouldnt use anyones maps other then henks or paul from RS tuning.
These 2 guys have spend years getting the map right..
paul developed his map from the very start of the meganesport,and is widely acknowledged as the guru on renaults.

Tour de force also use pauls maps.

THey have had countless hours of dyno set-up ,to make the map as smooth as possible,as if it was a factory map.
I really would only stick to these world class rep guys,and save any doubt on a under developed map..it could cost you your engine.

 

Let us know how it goes like you Paul is miles away from me too and I am planning the same spec mods as you k&n panel filter and probably mill tech cat back exhaust.

 

I dont think you will be disappointed. Henks maps are good.

 

Sorry if this is diverting the thread.. Who is Henk? It always used to be the car it was Paul or someone who used Paul's map. Reddot had a go at mapping but their maps were not good.

 

Henk is a dude over in the Netherlands. He is highly regarded tuner ( a bit like Paul ) in Europe. He develops the tuner boxes and does maps on cars ( all sorts - again like Paul )

Fastchip.nl

 

I think (this is just from memory..) that it might have been Henk then that was originally supplying the boxes to Paul.

Just one if those snippets that might not actually be true of course..

What happened with reddot? Where are the decent rolling roads these days?

 

This is true.

Dynos are funny things. It takes a decent operator who isn't interested in manipulating the figures to give an accurate result. It also is a good idea to take it to the same dyno brand as someone else to compare back to back. Pauls are Dyno Dynamics if I recall correctly. The theory being if you dyno run in Leeds or London on the same brand you will get the same ( or very , very similar ) figures.

Dynos can easily be influenced by positioning of probes / sensors into giving artificially high results. Find an operator that you trust.

 

Rs tuning can supply two tuning boxes his own box, and fastchips rs tuner, both good pieces of kit.

 

Just a little addition here, my car was mapped at at RSTuning by Paul. (Not 'live' mapped as mentioned, you cant live map a Megane). The Stock Stage1 was applied and the car run on the dyno, car made 258bhp (from 230 stock). Paul wasn't absolutely happy with it for some reason, I remember temps being high mentioned and the AFR was low. That was on the Stock Stage 1. He went away to play with the file a couple of times and added more fuel to keep things 'cooler' (safer for the motor I think he said) and possibly other tweaks. Car made 255bhp and tracked just under the original S1 power curve. So in short, if you go on the dyno your not getting a more powerful map, your getting one that suits your car better and ultimately safer for your engine.
