184bhp ???

[iamo89]

I was just wondering whether 184 bhp is a bit low for what I've done to my car which is:
Ktec induction kit
Ktec stealth with decat
438 catcams
Remap
It's a 03 172 which I know through the years must have lost some horses but thought I would at least hit 188-190 bhp.

Would have started out with about 160bhp so if it's a genuine 184bhp that's good gains

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

You're doing well at 184. 190bhp is ITB territory.

 

[iamo89]

Yeh I was thinking that, if not a little less but just thought the cams would push it a bit further

Who did the work?

Mine on ITBs/cams. I'd say you're doing pretty well.

Cams timed for a broad range of power rather than a top end spike?

Looks a good spread of power fair play!

Sounds right for just cams.

You may want to get the map checked though. My map with just 438 cams killed my engine. As it did on 3 other cars I know of!

Is he still around?

 

[Martin.]

Sounds right to me. I hit 188bhp on SRR with 438s and supporting mods.

@Ant_Smiggy also hit 188 at RS-Tuning with the same mods.

 

[iamo89]

Is he still around?

I think he's moved away now.

Need to remember not all RRs will read the same. Too many people get caught up chasing numbers. If it feels good to you that's what matters Buddy. Forget worrying about figures or buy a turbo'd car and be done with it
