265 K-Tec

Don't go.
Research them
Before you ask no comment.

 

lol, here we go again, the usual Ktec thread, where half the people will say dont go, and the other half say they are fine....

I should think you will gain about 40bhp, but hard to say

 

Why not ask Ktec what gains you will see?

 

Which sports cat did you go for? i see they do a 5" version too. You could ask them to do a before and after power run

 

Isn't that the point though? Surely 100%(ish) should say to go.

If 50% say not to, then given that there are other places to go and the risk inherent with your own car and money, I'd say that's a pretty damming indictment, and vote with my feet.

 

So K-Tec have been in business for around 15 years, have grown significantly over this time and within the last couple of years have moved into much larger premises. They develop their own products, have workshop capabilities and export products around the world.

Somehow I don't think that they only have 50% of their customers satisfied with their service as no business would survive, let alone grown with that low customer satisfaction. I would even guess that nowhere near 50% of their customers go onto forums and post about their experiences with the company.

As others have said, if you want to know what sort of gains you may get, ask K-Tec as they're the ones you're paying to conduct the work.

 

Hi I am doing the same next week rs tuning though Miltek exhaust with turbo back sports cat, KTR induction, plus an intercooler with turbo cooler I hope to achieve 320ish on a 250 Cup.

I'm also going with this apart from I'm getting a upgraded intercooler ! For my R26.
Been to Ktec a few times no problem

 

Just wanted to say when I discussed the build on my car they were super helpful and really professional couldn't do more even offered to lend me a car for a week to cover the 600 mile round trip just to help me out. With RS so close didn't make sense. I wouldn't have thought twice about using them.

Bit pointless saying don't go somewhere and not giving reason why! People come on forums to asks others experiences and opinions. Isn't that the whole point of using a forum? In relation to Ktec, I brought my modded liquid yellow R26 from from back in November. No issues at all, and David at Ktec was very helpful

This..

I bought my 250 from them in December 2015, and he was very helpful and has been since if I've ever had any questions for him.

I would recommend them, I've never had any work carried out on my car by them, but I'm assuming I wouldn't have any issues, if the service department is as good as the sales/after sales department.

 

I purchased my 250 cup in november 16 had great service plus had remap and inline air filter . Result 278 bhp at the wheels

 

I think threads like this carry a lot of weight and are looked upon as an invaluable resource for those that are researching where to/not to spend their money. After all, where to get better feedback than from actual RenaultSport owners.

I bought my RS from Ktec and was well looked after. I was back there last week for the belt service and they genuinely made a significant effort to fit me in much sooner than was initially suggested simply because it was more convenient for me. The work was carried out as expected and I was entirely happy.

So as a happy Ktec customer, I recommend them and will be back there for future work.

 

I would use them if I was closer but being in London, it's a long journey.

 

I have just bought a 2010 250 Cup from KTec and they've been good with me. They're a bit keen on pricing but they are a business afterall! I think anyone at all on any forum that has a negative view on a subject should be expected to speak with authority and openly about why they have that view...otherwise....ignore.

I had the exhaust you're having fitted to my car before I collected it and it's a nice piece of kit. The bore is a good size and the noise is nice and raw on startup and under light throttle, it then builds aggressively under heavy throttle. There's a few pops and bangs on the overrun if you like that sort of thing. The decat and exhaust will probably lead to more torque/faster spool up and cooler engine bay temps (cat is further down the chain) at a guess. My car was running 301hp from an RS Tuning map and I'm yet to get it checked/updated.

Enjoy your purchase.

 

I'd be interested in your results as I'm looking next at an exhaust upgrade.

 

Mines in tomorrow at RS Tuning sport cat exhaust Milltek ITG induction kit new intercooler with turbo cooler and a remap will wait to see how it is on a spirited drive back into the Yorkshire Dales

Sounds brilliant, have a fun drive home!

 

I'd go somewhere that people's only grumble is how far up north they are.

Go to RStuning.

^careful - you'll incur the wrath...

I'd personally do some research before deciding where to go when spending serious money. If the OP, or anybody else, does this they will find some less than complementary posts, but of course - you pays your money and you takes your choice.

I've only personally used them for mail-order stuff and the service was atrocious.

 

Ha ..... try working for Tesco like me, seems like we're the most hated company in the UK and can't ever do right.

Ktec on the other hand ..... I bought my Red 250 Cup from them in October 16, great service and car was prepared very very well before sale. I'd return to them with no concern.

Good luck with your tuning upgrades, also interested to hear what the gains are from this.

 

What fuel are you running

Yes that was my error turned up yesterday with 95 in the tank Andy looked at me like I was a fool. So Paul did the map and got to 300 on shit fuel going back in a week after running 99 then get it mapped again. Didn't get finished till after 6:30 last night.

Is that at the wheels?

 

Never. It's a remap on a stick car with some breathing mods. Those figures on the wheels is just about achievable with a turbo swap.

 

Seems like he always speaks of crap fuel..
Setup on my car was
2,75" downpipe 200cell sportkat
Midbox delete
Airtec stage2 intercooler

RSTuner since i live in sweden,
Running on 98fuel

Had to go to two different dynos due to Paul blaming the dyno..
275hp on stock Map, 290hp on remap
And dyno nr2.. 283hp stock Map, 299hp remap.
So i gained a 15hp increase on remap and mods

Sick and tired of trying to tune this piece of shit car..
Now running a full 3" turboback-katless and ktr-induction..
Think i will also order k-tec remap because of the missfire and powerless results so far...
So either its the shit EMS 3125 or Pauls Map is no good, think were at map nr 5, and still cannot make it work.
Havent had the car on dyno after fitting exhaust and filter..
