:scratch:, are the rs tuning or k-tec remaps any good , worth while etc with regards extra bhp?, will it affect the general running after a re-map etc of the ecu?, are they worth the pennies or just hype with regards how bhp you will gain? cheers.

Rs tuning seem to be the boys with the meganes. Stage 1 about 240hp stage 2 about 260 ish. Some have seen more, less etc....
I would agree and say that Paul @ RS Tuning know's his stuff. He gets good feedback on Meganesport! You bought one Jesus?
Keep an eye out on meganesport.net for group buys on remaps
Thanks for the replys chaps, yeah ive bought an 2006 black 225 with 29,000 on it, really tidy with full genuine service history...i have plans..;), really enjoying it at the mo..the rear end is such a marmite thing...:laugh: but im loving it, really wanted something that i could just hop into , load little livvy up and just go.....and of course it had to be renault and turbo...how sad im i?....:laugh:..watch this space...:)

All in all though it gave a slight improvement.
cheers rich , did they dyno it afterwards etc?...would you say the car ran any different?, you didnt experience any problems other than that then..sorry for all the questions bud.Quote:

I love the sound and the performance but one day i am going back to an oe looking custom tailpipe and yes i would like to have a proper rolling road set up after that but when i was down at ktec i only had limited time down there to get my mods done and get back so no dyno. I went on ktecs sight for the first time in a while the other night n they now have a proper rolling road tuning set up link on there and a download about it. Hope that helped.
I think you guys should try tour-de-force.
These guys do awesome things with the megans and clio's.
Thanks guys for all your input, im in no hurry so ill do my homework a bit more too, tommy ill be calling them too, just to see what they say and reccomend etc, thanks.
Cheers tommyb tour de force look just the ticket, well worth speaking to them one day, nice one. I'm sure you'll make the right decision which ever road you go done jesus, all the best. Love meggy sports:)
What Matt at tour de force don't know isn't worth knowing.
And they supplied the ECU for the quickest and fastest fwd car in england.
Top guys.

Both Matt and Paul are spot on and very knowledgable lads so going to either you shouldn't have any issues :D
seen that civic on motors tv, mental! If thats quarter mile your on about?Quote:

Right, im off to tap andy specks vauxhall tigra into youtube.:agree:
Pretty sure Andy runs a EC1. We use a EC2 in the mini now with fly by wire.
Either way top guys he he he they have think automotives touring car spec Clio in at the moment. Completely nuts in every way.
Matt has never used anythings of k-tec ECU or mapping wise :)
EC1 is the name they were adopted with. The originator is someone else, as is often the case with a/m ECU's. Look at gems :)Quote:

That ecu looks the same as the specialist components one that people are using on the bike head converted A series engines over on the mini forums.
