Yes it feels fast enough etc..I am just a fussy b*****d and want to make sure everything is as it should be :) I am sure the car could be better..maybe I should just leave it alone for a while Lol

172 Nm @ the wheels (edit - long flat curve). Now I must add something here - 18 months back I was managing the same pwr figs and 10 Nm more with a custom tune from Henk. Top end pwr obviously dropped off a lot quicker on std cams..now holds long and strong...but...prior to fitting cams a...

This is a odd point franx - in Aust a std clio (172 & 182's) will produce around 100Kw ATW so mine is in fact higher in pwr in Aust @ 110Kw / 0-62 mph in mid to low 6 seconds - go figure? :-) I would love that explained to me.

Yep 110 kw ATW. As mentioned for some reason local 172 (& 182's mind you) generally produce around 100 Kw ATW. Everyone sort of accepts this here as fact. Why would this be the case? Perhaps UK rolling roads are more optimistic than Australian ones. We have about 2 V6 Clios here imported by...

Sorry - yes locking tools both ends. The mech Barry is from the UK - much experience on these cars. All OE tooling. Does about 50 belts a yr.

OK thanks Fred. That's interesting re the pwr figs. Most if not all 172 RSC's in Aust are lucky to see low 100Kw / or just above ATW in std trim so well under 172 as per the cars name. No I didn't check any markings on the fly wheel (trust mechanic) I watched Barry tighten the pulley's with...

James - where would I get one of those what looks like a V6 box from? I like the set up. I was thinking of moving batt as you have done and laying ECU flat. Is this what you have done?

Re leak down..no. That is really what should be done. Fred - we actually had to do the cams twice. If you remember I had a few dodgey lifters. The crank was pinned correctly, cam tool locked firmly in place..not sure what else one can do? Can anyone translate 110Kw ATW into fly BHP? What...

Hi Fred / Danny - the cams are the ED Mk II. They were fitted using all OE tooling and done by our local snr Renault tech at my place so I partook in the work so can confirm it all went in correctly. Idle MAP @ 1100 is ~420 mb which seems normal for these cams. Car idles well, has good torque...

I think that's sideways danny? Fred too rings a bell. These guys have been a tremendous help before. It's bed time down under so will drop in again in 8 hrs :-)

Nah it's a Green Cotton panel and I keep it clean. It's something else.. For example I have seen a data log of a car running my map (cam retarded at about 6800) same cams..the 02 voltage drops right off as the mixture leans out on that car as the cams really come on song. My car..nuthin :-)...

Yep I have matched inlets. As a comparison I am seeing 110Kw ATW what ever that works out to in BHP at the fly? Incidently as I have been advised one can expect a fair variation in F4R output from the factory. Mine always produced figures a little lower than other in basic std trim. It uses no...

Hi guys - (have 2002, 172) I have fitted cams a while back and got modest gains. Now the thing is during tuning with Henk my car didn't really display a rapid voltage drop from the front OE narrow band 02 sensor indicating the car was not flowing a lot of extra air up top. Now with the OE box...

Thanks John. Food for thought. My knock signal 'looks' fine on the RSTuner but sometimes does a few odd 'gaining' up and down actions but could be normal. Henk seems to see nothing unusual. I'll keep an eye on things. 35 pound for a knock sensor :) I bet here in Aust they are 8 times the...

Hi Tom - here is the 1st pwr run when logging last weekend. Notice the ambient reading drops rapidly at WOT. Now the actual ambient would have been 1020 mb where I was. The MAP over the run lost 14 mb from start to end. All parameters look fine re advance etc doing around 28 deg at 6K > Kc kicks...
