My rtech map review

[Namsgti]

Hi everyone, after the great reviews for rtech I decided to go to rtech for stage 2. Here's my review

Prior to rtech-
I was running a amd stage 1 map which From there dyno made 252hp and 291 lb
From posts on here people say there dyno are not accurate !!

Rtech day-

Got to rtech nice and early was greeted by great bunch of guys.
Nicky mentioned that due to my standard back box the flow would be restricted and that I won't make the figures I was expecting, which was fair enough.

The car was on the rollers for a couple of hrs, Nicky tapping away on the laptop !!

My amd stage 1 made 266hp 271ftlb
Quite shocked!

So once all done Nicky gave me the dyno print.

The car made stage 2.     270 hp 335 ftlb would of made more if the exhaust was not restricting.

I went out to test drive it but could not really push it as the road was to busy to be driving like a prat!!

So a week or so now with the map it's not as punchy as my amd map the car before used to pull really well pick up instantly as really ideal round town driving etc.

The rtech map is very linear and you have to push harder on the pedal to get it moving, once going it pulls really well.

To be honest didn't feel the extra torque that the car now makes, maybe need to get used to it!
I may contact rtech if they can adjust the map for me.

I will post my dyno print out as soon as I figure out how to do it!!

Thanks for reading guys any comments welcomed (be nice lol)

Hi would like to know how others have got on with a linear map

Thanks

No one

+60ftlbs of torque and you dont feel it?

Maybe it's just me rich or it's because it's linear delivery that's what is making it seem slow:thinking:

As above, 60ft lbs would noticeable. Perhaps you have just gotten to familiar with the power....

Yeah that's what I'm thinking know

i reckon your old map was punchy lower down and the power tailed off with the linear maps they just keep pulling all the way to the redline

punchy feels quick as its instant power but the linear will be a quicker car

I think your right my last map was punchy low down the Rev range
I'm used to that I'm thinking

How do I post my dyno print out ?
So you can see

That should feel much much faster between 3-5k rpm

Yes your right I think I need to give it some tomorrow lol

I agree the linear mapping does seem to numb things a little but 3,500rpm plus and it's all good!
