I'm not sure You can bolt the exhaust one on the intake cam, but if You want the extra power it will be best to invest in such thing. Question is if You have the money and someone that will spend the RR time to adjust it properly

Best to buy adjustable pulleys (also offered by CatCams) to tune this setup more accurately

Bit old topic but I think worth refreshing :) If I were to get something like this: full set fot a straight swap, engine running and well reasonable price, about 2,5k in British Pounds Will I extract everything I need, from that piece of the car, to do the job ? I mean engine and gearbox...

Janusz, mate I'm from Poland Yes it's espace 2.8 V6 I got it :) I'll fit it this weekend My car did 178BHP at the flywheel before the exhaust and manifold was changed (custom remap was made by Henk after CatCams were instaled) I hope that the exhaust and few other minor mods will free up a...

Nice work franx ! similar setup, different cams :) My V6 box came today :) CatCams and custom exhaust with 182 mani already in the car :) I'll set up everything this weekend :) and share with You my results :)

Should be no problem with straight swap mate

Slipping Clutch ?? http://www.ehow.com/how_7687_diagnose-slipping-clutch.html

That's what I thought, since it came up shortly after disconnecting the battery.

I got it, the oher day i was clearing some old errors that ECU registered. I pressed Clear and got INITIALIZATION BACKUP MEMORY as a present error. It didn't bother me that much, but I'll check if it's still there if You like.

Custom Exhaust - check In one center piece Decat - check V6 airbox - to do... Green panel filter - check 105 mm cold air feed - to do... 45 degree inlet elbow - to do.. Headtune.co.uk ported throttle body - check Self made matched inlets - check (must work on thet further) PTFE inlet manifold...

Quade, seems You are the man I can talk to :) Measured on the same type of RR What other mods there mate ? Talk to me :)

I myself was hoping for at least 185BHP Never the less it was a 10BHP increase for me. Stock car only with de-cat gave 168BHP result at RR. I hope the exhaust will solve most of the problems, since it was the only restriction left.

Koni sport (yellow, with regulated stiffnes) + Vogtland springs (-40mm) best buy I could get for a reasonable price. http://www.koni.com/370.html

Not that bad actually :) Certainly louder than stock, but the back box is not straight throu so its at reasonable level :)

Ahhhh It's time for an update :) So lets get started from where we left :) 178BHP tested on RR some time last year (cams inlet panel filter decat RS Tuner map by Henk) That's the last log: Today I'm proud to announce I fitted the 182exhaust manifold and custom made exhaust: I was not...

There is no way to erase anything just by disconecting the battery. So don't worry mate

Can U post that RR graph, I'd like to compare it with mine 172 on CatCams

I see what You mean. I personally kind of like it (a little taste of turbo in N/A car ;) ) but I got to admit, power output at low rpm is suprisingly good (I was told it will be totally lost, but the car goes like it uset to) As I said before my project is not done yet Few adjustements to the...

1) find a junk yard / scrap yard with auto scale and find out the exact number :) remember it must be with You inside 2) every car is different, in my ph1 172 power los betwen wheels and flywheel was 40BHP :/ I gues only RR can tell You the exact number 3) not sure about that :/ 4) no idea

Yes, that is exactly right. Nothing happens under 4000rpm just like it was old days. So are You seriously trying to tel me that this is so bad compared to the stock cams ?

Ben check my graphs, I'm pretty happy with my 421 This one is stock engine (just decat and air filter) 421 CatCams fully working on stock ECU with added RS inlet mani, and the car works fine for 6 months now, engine idle at 1200rpm as you foreseen but the rest is not so bad, I'm used to it...

Ok, are we talking track day here or just normal day to day driving ?? Gutting it out, that's just easy, but what about people who still want to take 4 passangers and a baggage for lets just say weekend road trip, and want to be faster than other clio on the road ?? I preffer to have all my...

That always come in handy :) and works well with any other upgrade ;)

RS Stamped inlet mani from 182 and some decent air filter like ITG should get You in the right track :) And that's just for starters mate ;) Go for decat, exhaust and remap next (RS Tuner from Fastchip will manage all of this just fine :))

Yes it bolts on nicely, but You will need to lose the cat section. Whats more its hard to install, You need to drop the subframe or put the engine out of the car to do it. This picture comes oryginally from this forum, perfect example of the differences

I'm interested in compression ratio. Did You lower it with low comp pistons or is it same as stock engine? Did You put the price tag on the brackets yet? I plan to start the project like that here in Poland next year. I will obviously need some parts :) and a good advice ;)

go easy on 1st, 2nd, just to about 2500rpm punch in 3rd, revs go to 2000rpm, and go WOT all the way to the top :) It's not a question of when You start logging, You can even start it on Your drive way when the car is cold. After You save the Live data, even if the file coveres 30min of drive...

Pedal to the metal, floor it, etc. nothing else :)

I've just checked 3 other ph2 logs and in each case throttle opens max to 78.xx Mine on ph1 opens to 82-83 max. So We can easily assume this is normal.

It's hard to keep it steady on the graph :) But when You flor it it should be relatively steady. I do mine on the way home from work :) Just find the right moment and a piece of road long enough :) and make the WOT run. Later at home You can easily browse for the piece of graph You want (it will...
