Fuel for a trophy.?

[Big Dave]

Ok latest silly question about a T....
Ive read somewhere,,, dont know exactly where, that the Trophy needs to be run on Shell V power or similar higher octane petrol. Is this correct.??

PS im still lurking, reading and inwardly digesting all things "T".....:up:

There is a sticker on the inside of the fuel cap that iirc says 98Ron Recommanded yes the spelling mistake is meant! I think all ClioSport cars have this.

My car runs pretty poorly on anything but super, but it has the RS Tuner map on it which gives it much better cold starting & higher rev limiter.

I run all my cars on super , have done for years as the price difference is negligible but when you strip an engine down the additives in super keep the ports and valves much cleaner.

Yeah, its got a sticker that says 98RON. Car seems to idle better with it IMO, plus as above mine has a performance map on it as well.

Cheers chaps.
So does the "map" make much of a difference.?
And is it as simple as a chip change or is it a specific map.?

Ive had both on my previous / other cars and the specific live map was the best.

I can't say tbh, as I only find that mine had a map on it when I went to RSTuning RR day. The Prev owner never told me.

Most of are a generic map you load on. Live map will always be best tbh.

Either way mine made 179bhp with a decat-back exhaust and the map, after 95k miles too.

I run mine on whatever is cheapest/closest to where i need to fill up. Makes absolutely sod all difference, despite the 'high octane remap'.

Mine got 175bhp, with V6 airbox, BTB exhaust & aircon delete. At 181k miles

The M3 gets VPower, as if it doesnt, its a grumpy sod.

I knew you'd be a long soon with your monster miles

Funnily enough he suddenly appeared when i was filling up with petrol the other day, the iRONy....

My T has been mapped as well.
The only fuel mine likes is BP ulitmate.
Any this else it dont last long at all or runs lumpy.
