Toon Chris Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I've had my RS tuning done on the car about 100K miles ago. Everything seems generally fine and ok but I wondered if it needs redoing now, not for peak power but because various engine components won't be as good as they once were?

Ekona Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Interesting question. I honestly don't know, but I'd love you to go and get another one done and see if there's much difference between the two tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Was it a generic map or custom ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) It's a custom mapping done by RS tuning in Leeds. Recently the MAF and all Lambdas have been changed so I wondered if this and also any injector wear etc really mattered or if the mapping coped ok with these subtle changes. Probably only Abbey have the experience to know the answer? Edited March 4, 2014 by Toon Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Be interesting to know. I think as the miles pile on, the engine will obviously be running slightly differently to how it previously was. I remember reading about a race team who did the Isle of Man TT races each year. They used to rolling road test their bikes before & after abusing them around the TT races all week. Very often the bike would be producing more power afterwards than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Chris Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Should have called this thread 'Does an UpRev tune 'wear out'' ? as RS Tuning is the company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
