Title: Switchable maps
Post by: TomGTI on October 26, 2014, 02:43:21 pm
Do R-tech to switchable maps, I don't have Cruise control?

I have switchable maps from R-tech ☺☺

Sweet! How is it controlled, was it at an extra cost?

Pretty sure the cruise stick method is patented by APR dude.

I think it's done by having the ignition on and dipping the clutch pedal!

I'm going to ask for stock mode as well as Gower-power  :happy2:

Niki said he can make it work with anything (probably cruise control if you wanted that!)

Nice, this may mean I can get a remap and if the clutch slips I can put it back to the standard map until I can afford an uprated clutch  :driver:

Hopefully someone will confirm this for us  :happy2:

Do it with pedal combinations like in the link I posted then (looking at your post above, you haven't even opened the link?   :confused:)

No you posted as I was about to send my post, I was in a rush so sent it anyway. I've read all 4 pages  :signLOL:

The pedal  way sounds quite good, I'd probably only want the remapped and standard map.
I did read that they can map the TC to help with traction rather than cut the power which I'd like.
I'd like a map which feels fast which isn't going to destroy the clutch but I do like the mid range punch with I miss from my old K03 GTI. Not sure if I'd like the linear throttle map or not  :driver:

Ah fair enough mate  :love:

Yeah the TC mapping is cool, it kinda pulses the power in & out very quickly without being as abrupt as the standard traction control.

If you tell Niki how you want it to drive (and that you want to preserve your clutch) then you won't come away disappointed  :happy2:

^^^^ will be next map tweak, the TC map and add switchable maps too. He just keeps finding new things to do, awesome.

A linear map with TC and switchable Mapping will suit me down to ground, I've had a look on the website but couldn't find a price for the extra bits does any one what price it is, I know the remap is £290?

I'm not sure how much the extras are. He may do you a bit of a deal  :happy2:

I believe the switchable map is in addition to the £290 - the TC tweak I believe is now included as standard.

It's hard to confirm as I can never get hold of the guys!!

I've got through every time I've called - they used to have the telephone close to the Dyno so could never hear the phone ringing. Much better these days

This does sound appealing, seems nuts paying 500plus for a revo map instead of this

My thoughts exactly. I don't like paying for a load of company execs to drive round in RS5's 

I'd rather Niki's kids get a great Xmas with my money  :signLOL:

The switch option is available for all stage2+ setups, We have developed all the new maps around the mk6 r software and implanted high speed logging capabilities which allows the owner to log extra data and uncapped data with vcds.  ie load caps out at 191.7% with vcds with the logger patch its unlimited.

 Map switching offers 5 boost map cap options which allows 5 boost profiles based on throttle position and rpm,  which gives a nice raw feeling to the power which is 100% linear to what the driver wants.  You can tell us how you want each map setting, one can be raw high torque out put, on can be flat wet use map, another clutch happy, then full grunt..ect
The mapping also includes our trade mark hard cut rpm limiter which all the 20v boys love and enjoy.

The map switching is only available for the non dsg car due to the switch method being via a brake and throttle combination,  We have not found a method to switch maps on the dsg without upsetting other tuners who have patented the switching method.

When booking your stage2+ map you need to point out you want the switch and logger options, as it includes double the time to setup and the ecu HAS to be removed to have the new base code flashed as a starting point.

@OVERTFSI (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1870) have you had a play with the GTI7 ECU's yet?  Be interesting to see what you could extract from the 7R

Hi

We specialize at one area at a time at moment all time and r&d is with the med9 tfsi ecus,  We plan to move into med17 tsi tuning end of this year and mk7 R simos ecu tuning within the next 8-9 years.  Pointless to try and take on more work when we are rammed with the 1.8T and tfsi stuff still.   I like to progress into tuning and move on when I have to move on.  The old 1.8t stuff from 1997-2000 is being put on the back burner the market there hit rock bottom, rock bottom I mean the quality of the cars coming in, kids buying motors for £800 and cannot afford to get the car running right but want them mapping lol.. So due to that and us turning this work away we can now develop our mk6 gti tfi tuning methods and carry on tuning r32, the newer 1.8T and tfsi.

I was trying to find another reason for a map tweek, excuse now found!  :party:

Really does sound impressive - so the switchable mapping is only available on stage 2+ if not will you be planning on doing it on the stage 1 maps?

pointless on a stage1 as all the power can be  modulated via the throttle, stage2+ there are so many combinations to deliver the power, high torque, linear, lower stage2+ hp higher output ect

Yes I see what your saying now.

I was just hoping there was a standard map I could use as well as a stage 1 map, just in case my clutch slips so I could use the standard map until I cough up £1000 for a updated clutch.  :happy2:

HELLO!  :laugh: :laugh:

can you do this on the DSG too Niki? - I understand you can't get the switchable maps, but I'm liking the hard cut noise and the hardcore loud dsg farts!!  :happy2: :signLOL:
