Hello,
Yesterday I went to the pub with a friend of mine.
There we met some guy who works as a mechanic in an Audi dealership.
Had a little chat, and at some point we talked about the Clio.
He said that I was very foolish about remapping the Clio. He said the only thing tuners do when remapping N/A engines is retiming the injection, where the engine is totally not made for this. Tuning with turbo engines was no problem for him.
His explanation: the tuner retimes the injection, and the engine is expecting gasoline on the time it should have been provided by the stock software. He recons my Clio won't run without problems. He even recons that it will break down at 50.000 miles or less.
What do you guys think?
The whole chat has got me thinking. I love the clio with the remap, and I do not have a lot more power, but it feels so much beefier low down in the revs.
