The current owner of my Trophy put a ktec map on it - it has poor cold starting & has made no difference to the performance whatsoever ...
I'll be getting a JMS map shortly as they've based near my work (Uxbridge), it costs £140, but send an email to info@jmstuning.co.uk if you fancy any more info. Say that Sir_Dave sent you
BTW. They just launched that RS2 inlet & are flat out at the mo, so the response may take a day or so!

K-Tec maps are very expensive too I noticed. I too have cold start issues so I'm planning to get to the route of that problem and possibly get this map in a few weeks when I have some time off. Hopefully one of them will solve the problem.

Funnily enough I saw the new inlet in the Design/Engineering graduate book for Brunel University, looks like he designed it for his course. Very cool.

Have some driving tuition and learn to drive it faster. I've used mine on the track once so far and the only thing that needs changing is the brakes as they struggle under heavy use. It's a very capable car out of the box and chasing an extra few bhp is a waste of money IMO.

Done.
Another (hopefully more successful) revival...
A Clio Trophy has caught my eye close by but the owner says it has a 98 RON remap by Fastchips. Googling about leads me to believe this increases the rev limit?
I've always taken things like this is a bit of a no-go area, revving an engine out-with its design parameters. Is it a different case with these engines?

It only increased it slightly. By 500 revs perhaps? More importantly it smooths the idle and pick up a lot better. Better response too. Should be better economy but I've not noticed it.

Commonly regarded as the best mod for those cars. Not an issue having it. If it didn't say in the ad and you didn't know how they drove, you'd think nothing of it, it's that subtle, but worthwhile.

+1 i'd also get the timing checked by a specialist unless you know the belts have been done properly. Easy to cock up.Join up, become a proper member, go in the trader section.
