Hello all, some of you will Know me from MeganeSport.Net, and some of you may not. My Name is Christine... This is my Remapped Liquid yellow R26 F1. My other half Mark has a remapped Inferno orange 225, we both attended the French Car Show again this year here some photos...
Hiya! Nice to see names from the old place cropping up on here. Seems to be gaining a bit of momentum now.
Welcome along saw your car on the stand and really stood out. It was a great day to seem some classic Renault sports as well.
happens to me sometimes Kentbloke, thanks Ash87, haha yes Gillian, just need to get the otherhalf on here now.
Hi Christine nice to see you again New rears tyres yet??? Remember the blacks last year anyway welcome Kevin
Did it make a big change and what end result did you get? Gonna have ours done but waiting on a new flywheel in a couple of weeks. Then got a green cotton induction to put on, will then have the milltek exhaust fitted and it remapped at ktec at the same time.
I thought k-tec maps were dodgy nowadays? As when i was on the Cliosport forum there were a few threads about how poor / dangerous the maps were that they had done on a few Clio's? Have you considered either Fastchip (mobile box from the netherlands + less than half the price of leeds RSTunings box. Or does Josh cook in Bristol(cooksport) or APD developments in Swansea do any mapping? As their both Renault specialists. But after what i read on cliosport i would not take my car to k-tec for any mapping
Don't think I'll be trying to find Stan of APD developments in Swansea after reading all the negative stuff on the cliosport forum about him :eek:
It's his customer service that's bad his work is good, i know i wrote one of the moaning threads about him about getting my deposit back! TBH I'm a Fastchip user and cant fault Henks work at all, best bang for your buck by far!
Seems like he's off the radar now anyway........cant find him via google or any of the old links. I'm interested in hearing about yr experience with the fast chip. Easy to link up and map? What kind of power increase? What if any increase on mpg ?
Ooh not sure where to get it mapped now then. I'm always keen to go by recommendation aswell as the business itself. Maybe rstuning is a better option, hopefully the ktec issue is Clio specific.
I don't think the k-tec issue is clio specific tbh i heard a few things over on meganesport that they weren't brilliant either. RStuning i've never heard anything bad about so you cant go wrong their really! With my fastchip experience, i bought a second hand box so had to get an unlock code and the map all in for the box, code and map i think it was around 250ish. But you can sell the box on later if you wish (i havent as its good for data logging/ fault codes also accesses abs modules, turns off the tyre sensors etc etc with extra modules). Piece of piss to connect up and upload the map took around 5 mins i'd say. Mpg increased by around 3-4 if taking it easy but i fitted cleaned injectors at the same time. Power increase i hvent had it RR but the turbo kicks in much harder and louder it felt like an animal after wards! As i thought the performance wasn't much if any better than my old cammed clio 172 i used to have but after the map it felt much more urgent and aggressive, it would try and wheel spin through the first three gears if booting it (my tyres were quite worn then though). I remember looking at a thread on meganesport comparing RStunings and henks maps and their wasnt a lot in it at all. I think Pauls had a little more top end while henks had a bit more mid range
Thanks for that info I don't mind plug in boxes if the maps are tailor made. I assume you can also then use it to revert to the original map if required, I am considering taking out an extended warranty but knew if I had it mapped somewhere it would be pointless as they would always try to use it as an excuse for not payin if they found out. Is there any recommended place to buy them?
Hey Dan, Yeah you can use it to swap back and forth between maps, the stage 1 maps are generic (although made for the car obviously)i think (Same as the RStuning remote box) however you can with the Fastchip box pay for a custom map which is an extra 99 euro's (i think). I think you can do the same for pauls Rstuning box but i'm unsure on price. I've allways used Fastchip as its half the price of Rstunings box (and their exactly the same i think, from what i read before, henk supplied paul with the box's). You can either get a new one from fastchip directly or look on cliosport for second hand ones
rstunning are very good, but I decided to go with Ktec like I mentioned they remapped my car 2 years ago and have had no problems what so ever. love the power and the extra noises of turbo chatter. my car as had the flywheel and new clutch done, also 3" Miltec decat exhaust systeme...plus a few other bits of pipes here and there. my car running 270bhp
