Can continue to pump 95 with rschip?

i don't understand,since you want to modify your car,means you want more power,why save on fuel,save on fuel must well keep it in Stock.?

Can use economy mode on the rschip to do further fuel savings.

There don't seem to be any mention of the Ron requirements on their website though

Yesterday just installed RSChip to my 2008 Renault Megane Coupe Cabriolet. I was trying to get my tuner do an ECU flash, but apparently my car was not supported by the existing tuning devices. So tried the RSChip instead.

 

Did before-and-after Dynos on MustangDyno machine. Graph attached.

 

The car is using Simota cylinder air-intake (so-called "semi open pod").

 

bhp: 102 -> 117 (on-wheel)

bhp: 136 -> 156 (on-crank estimation)

torque: 150 -> 170 (on-wheel)

 

This is a 2.0 N/A car that's not powerful at all. The gain is much better than I had expected. (Note: the torque and BHP numbers are on-wheel measurement. x1.33 for on-crank estimation.)

Me no expert but for an NA car, that seems very impressive. Does your butt-dyno concur with the readings?

Got very insensitive butt ah. Cannot tell the difference. ☺️

after reading some of the latest reports/reviews of good FC,  I am really tempted to get this RSChip.  

 

Mainly I am looking for improving FC but I wonder/worry if there are any downsides or detriments to the engine.

 

Any advise?

Hi.

I'm driving a Honda Mobilio and I installed the RSCHIP a few months back. FC remains the same but the throttle response is much better.

So for better drivability yes it does help but I don't think it actually increase hp or torque. Even if it does the figures shouldn't be significant enough for daily street driving, since you can only hit these peak figures at high rpms that you won't get to before your auto or cvt gear shifts. It will also render whatever FC savings to zero to keep hitting those rpms.

I think of it as a throttle controller and I like it because I don't need to cut wires to install it like older controllers or its earlier version.

I am enjoying the better drivability but I am not under any illusion that my car hp has increased or my FC has improved.

Just my 2 cents sharing.

It's definitely different from throttle controller. My Renault CC already had a throttle controller before I installed rschip. My baseline Dyno run was with the throttle controller on. And the base run result showed exactly same bhp and torque as the manufacturer-claimed numbers. After installing rschip the Dyno showed visible gains in both bhp and torque.

I agree with you as I also installed RS chip on my 2015 Wish in March. No improvement on the FC, only response is better. Driving in Singapore road doesn't feel much different until I drove up north. Especially when it pass 3000rpm...the car fly like a hell rider. Very good at overtaking at high speed. Do not have to drag far to go from 140km/h and hit 180km/h. Recommend for those freqent travel to Malacca or KL. Hope this help.

Hi, I would like to know whether are there any different with or without RS chip on pick up on stationary? TIA

[Baal]

What I'm keen to know is whether the RS_Chip can retune an engine.

E.g, the L15A Honda engine is used in the City, Mobilio & 1st Gen HRV by AD.  However, to suit intended usage & weight, the low-mid range response is tuned accordingly.

Respectively, City, Mobilio, HRV, goes....135 mcg, 148 mcg & 155 mcg  -  iirc.

So in the case of the Jazz 1.5 at 127mcg (oem), can it be retuned to ~157mcg for better low & mid rpm response?

im wanna sell off my rschip. any bro interested can whastapp me 0166718688 . reason sell : buy turbo car

Why sell? Can use on your new Turbo car, more performance gains with turbo engine

[Victee]

Hi,

 

I also have a RSchip taken out from my Impreza for sale.

Used for less than a year. Intend to let go at about $250.

Can contact me at 85336341.

 

Thanks

no lah . coz the performance guys ask me not to fix this on turbo . he will MOD for me

[richard_crl032]

Your performance guys probably knows that rschip does not boost turbo pressure and you are better off with one that does ...like racechip ultimate or tdi ..for significant increases in torque aand power.

Nope ..rschip does not boost turbo pressure and hence limited and not suitable imho for turbo charged car which has better choices in racechip ultimate or tdi that does boost turbo.

Nope ...it is NOT like engine remap for such specific tuning.

Some difference for sure but you will need to see the response curve from dyno for specific engine type to know.

 

For pick up from stationary, try ethrottle since it complements and works differently from ecu piggyback like rschip albeit it does not increases torque and power while ecu piggback does.

did the performance guys tell you how much it costs to MOD for you?

 

 

[teamcity]

yes is a lot more than wat i bought rschip bro ...
