Cat Cam experiences

[ndphoto]

I wanted to ask if any Megane Coupe MK1 1.6e owners have any experience with swapping their stock camshafts with a catcam or so. I've done some modifications and looking a bit further before looking at a piggyback ECU.

Im referring to items: 5501713 / 5501712

I felt quite some improvement
-by cleaning out the car (ie ditching spare tire)
-Swapping stock exhaust manifold (4-1) with Supersprint manifold (4-2-1)
-Fitting a FSE powerboost valve and adjusting pressure (4 bar throttle open)
-Swapping stock plugs with NGK Iridiums

Thanks a lot!

Have you had any head work done? Whilst your fitting the cams, check the clearances and lift to maximise the intake.

Ideally you should get a remap done to take into account the fuelling requirements of the cams and other mods.

I note you've not done any exhaust mods yet and these should be next on your list, a sports cat and freer flowing exhaust will help raise the peak power.

I currently have a:

Supersprint Exhaust manifold > straight decat pipe (will be race cat) > stock middle pipe > Elia Tuning sports muffler.

I've heard my ECU isn't moddable, a piggyback ECU is the only way to go as far as I know.

I havent had any work done on the head.

get a better middle pipe mate.

Any ECU is possible to remap one way or another. Do you know what model it is?
