If I want to decat what do I need to look for?

  1. I want to decat my Trophy but not sure where I should be looking. Any makes recommended and is it like my old 200sx where I just bought a decat pipe or is there more to it with a megane?

    Cheers
     
  2. What are you looking to achieve with the megane?
     
  3. I haven't got loads of cash to chuck at it so at max it would be a decat and possible remap.
     
  4. RS tuning decat and get it mapped there at the same time. Job done.
     
  5. It's not a cheap job as its a pain to get to behind the engine.
     
  6. you need to remove the driveshaft pull the engine forward and get to the bolt in the back
     
  7. Why does that not surprise me!!! I've tried changing fog light bulbs and a fuse in the engine bay in the short time I've had the car. Renault must been having a laugh or they are crap at engineering
     
  8. They just want to make money. Hense making jobs so difficult the average person will always take it back to them.
     
  9. Its a small engine bay. Did you expect 1 foot gap between everything so you can get your hands in places? Not really crap at engineering as the RS range is one of the best handling hot hatch
     
  10. Your looking at around 3 hours labour for a decat

    If you haven't got the money to splash on it just get a map on it
     
  11. Yep...doesn't seem like a choice mod if your on a budget.
     
  12. didn't mean to offend you lol
    It is a bit crap no matter what you say, Had Supras, skylines, 200sxs and lots of other cars that had bigger engines squeezed into standard bays and I've never known anything like this. I like the car but I wish it made life a little easier with certain things
     
  13. what wou;d you suggest mod wise? I'm a little underwhelmed by the acceleration
     
  14. Remap is the most cost effective.
     
  15. Good tyres, good fuel and a map with no bolt on mods brings the car to a good, reliable level of performance for not much cash.
     

  16. brilliant. well I have decent tyres and I use v power so just the map. Will get in touch with RS Tuning today
