Super Cup Update

i dont even get where that goes if that is it :s

It bolts where your inlet is and does away WITH the inlet (obviously) and the plenum (the bit that says ''Renault Sport'' on.

Do keep up... haha

 

[BenR]

Its not cast........unless the first few people want to pay for some serious development costs of mold tooling!

And the shape is, erm....unorthodox.............

I've had to try and squeeze 3ltrs worth of volume into 1.5ltrs worth of space.

 

[Ralphizzle]

Sweetness...

What 'new' inlet manifold will you be running?
(with a cold air intake i reckon'?)

I've had to try and squeeze 3ltrs worth of volume into 1.5ltrs worth of space.

is it designed to fit under the Clio bonnet, or take up no more space than the standard intake?

 

[rich_1989]

how much longer till the RR results.

 

[BenR]

Its designed to fit so that you can close the bonnet and not move anything around.

your bonnet maybe, probably not mine she's a bit snug Sir...

Get the impression 50% of folk havent a clue what this is lol

only 50% of them? :clown:

 

[rich_1989]

correct me if im wrong, it is a replacment inlet manifold, which replaces the manifold and plenum, to get a better capacity of air per cilender in the chamber, as per the haynes 4 stroke performance tuning manual.,,, good read imo

 

[theduck]

sounds bout right that rich.

It basically does the same thing that ITBs do, but in a different way, that is, it improves the inlet.

ive started spending the money ive been saving

burning a hole in my pocket tbh

Dont do it!! You'll regret it imo

Send your cash to me - i'll hold on to it until this is sorted. PM and ill send you paypal addy to send funds to.

 

[BenR]

There will be ZERO pre release.

I'm sorry, but that is the way it will be.

I dont want to show or say anything, only to have the design/prices changed before production runs start.

Whichever way you look at it, its more affordable than doing any other modification upto the 200bhp level.

 

[rich_1989]

will it most probobly be less than a grand?

 

[fil_b]

if you look at tb they got about 5k with ecu etc

from the impressrion and that inlet for the evo, i would expect things to be the grand mark

if it less than a grand it will throw alot of people off TBs imo

 

[Cro]

It will cost over a grand but not too much over I imagine

 

[fil_b]

It will cost over a grand but not too much over I imagine

that cast inlet was 1400

think around the same maybe less - depends on the meathod of welding and if its by hand or not etc

except it wont give you 200bhp lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

^bet you £1 it will

[Cro]

If it gives the roughly the same power i.e makes 200bhp why would anyone still opt for itb's?

 

[Dan R]

+1

depends on the dyno. 25 bhp from an inlet manifold. Versus bodies with no bends or sod all to go round and that only makes 28 bhp more. hmmmm

 

[Dan R]

If it gives the roughly the same power i.e makes 200bhp why would anyone still opt for itb's?

yeah because it wont be as good as bodies and wont hold power for aslong i bet

 

[Fred@BTM]

hold power? eh?

 

[Naith]

hold power?


EDIT: hi fred

 

[Dan R]

hold power? eh?

Wheres peak power going to be?? not the same as standard car i hope where u get to 5k and uve got 1200 rpm of power before it all tails off to sod all
Anyway im not getting involved
Lets wait and see

 

[Naith]

im 99% sure i know half of what you kno technically Dan but why would a modified, race proven setup created by 2 highly qualified race tech/engineers be the same as standard.

u followed the setup and testing procedure or just sniping?

 

[Fred@BTM]

the s1600 develops 220bhp from a 1.6 using a similar style inlet design

the 197 cup racer VLN car is doing 280bhp on a similar style manifold too

no ideas on peak, but speak to matt (icarus) he's the top dog race engineer!


tuners are so far behind motorsport sometimes!

 

[Gray]

This would keep a few people quiet if Matt's car made the magical 200bhp+ with this new inlet LOL...

But really, there is no point is guesstimating, arguing etc.

Just let the results do all the talking!

couldnt agree more. Its not all about peak power either!

Im excited whens it coming??????

clio guru hmmm thats debatable!!
