Davo23 Clutched June 28, 2017 Share June 28, 2017 Is RS Chip different from bluefin? How many km since remap? Any noticeable different in term of power and fuel economy? rs chip is a piggyback not remap. i can feel torque and slight improvements. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo23 Clutched June 28, 2017 Share June 28, 2017 Hi bro, u mind sharing more info on the rschip, never used anyting like dat before Hi bro, you can read the whole thread abt rschip under performance and tuning section. another alternative would be racechip ultimate but a lot more expensive. cheers!

7hm Turbocharged June 28, 2017 Share June 28, 2017 yes i did all this and slightly more than that. rims was changed immediately out of showroom, rs chip installed after 2000km. always on Ron95 and reading was 12 to 12.1kpl. of cos depends on your right foot but no need to always be light footed otherwise not fun at all. i dunno if regent used shell or motorcraft engine oil on my first servicing though. For a more direct comparison do you have data on your FC prior to installing the RSChip? I've been considering a piggyback/remap for the larger 2.0 EcoBoost as well but I'm more interested in knowing if it will be more efficient. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

7hm Turbocharged June 28, 2017 Share June 28, 2017 like i said. its not a map but a chip. ...they have to get the appropriate map for the chip, don't they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo23 Clutched June 28, 2017 Share June 28, 2017 ...they have to get the appropriate map for the chip, don't they? u can google rschip and find out more in the website. this is not a software so there are no maps. its basically to ''álter'' the parameters of the stock ecu.

Last I checked most of these chips will be best with a customized map for your car, so I was curious if they charged you specifically just for the chip or whether you got a RSChip programmed specifically for your car.

I mean like a generic chip I'm sure can do something, but going off RSChip web and RaceChip etc. they ask you whats your car, so I assumed there's a map specific to the engines. I can't help but feel if it's specifically tuned to improve your specific engine it would do better than a generic program...

Davo23 Clutched June 28, 2017 Share June 28, 2017 that kind I don't feel work as well as a chip programmed for your car. then you can spend 1k plus for a generic map or go for a customised tuning for your car. note that warranty will be void.

Piggyback will probably also screw with your warranty if they find the thing. At any rate I was always under the impression that these RSChip and similar things could be specially mapped for the target car, hence they charge you for a new map when you get a new car. So yours was more than 1k? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't owe me anything, and if I wanted a random marketplace price, I would've gone and done that (which I already did before). I just wanted to know what kind of real price a real Ford driver got. No need to be so hostile. If you don't want to share, you could have just said so. There is nothing wrong with that. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
