ebay will be the best way to start Your search.
As I wrote it's not fully matched yet, but it will be soon.
Just never realized that the inlets in the head are so big ;)
Jacko, I see we have same goals, so few words about my project.
I started from little things, Green air filter fitted to oryginal box, Brisk spark plugs. Then there was (till now a controversive buy) a pair of CatCams 421 witch I still paln to use :)
After that I went for a stamped RS inlet...
(Sorry for a quality, just a quick one taken with my mobile)
That's mine oversized exhaust and I like it. I was installed by previous owner (some crazy chick from Sweden, would You belive it ? :) )
It looks good, sounds great, and fits the car.
So I would say YES, tint it.
My car done 160000km (2000 Clio Sport ph1) and the gearbox is still in "pretty" good contition.
Only problem is at 3rd gear, every time it goes on i litteraly hear cogwheels getting together. I think it's something I'll be forced to take care of some time in the future, but its that way for a...
I'm more of "do it yourself" guy. Graham 172 can I ask You for a basic idea (hopefully with some pics) on how to do it exactly ?
I guess those 1-2cm will make a difference on how short the gear change will be ?
What about LC-1 Wideband and O2 Sensor ?
Is it a necessity when thinking of getting the most of the car ?
In what way logs from it can improve a custom remap ??
Ok so if You need to enter some kind of a code to unlock the software to another car (I assume) Then Can't You write down the code from the first car (after first use of the program ) and enter it again after You're done with the second car ?
Just asking, cause I'm just waiting for the kit and...
I asked Henk about licensing, and he told me that with aditional license I get to flash two cars as many times I want.
So it's not true it locks to the second Car and stays that way.
"When you buy 2 licenses you can program 2 cars as many times as required. RSTuner comes unlocked (1 car license)"
Thats what Henk from Fastchip wrote to me
BenR thank You once again for solid information on the subject.
As for the torque curve, I plan to rise rev limiter to 7800rpm and in adition,
to set VVT turning off point all the way to the top, so it won't switch at 6500rpm like it normally does. I hope this gives me what I want.
I know I...
I started the same thread on polish forum, and the discusion there was also very vivid. Few interesting things was mentioned. I also contacted one of leading chiptuning firms in Poland about remap. I should hear from them tomorrow.
And finally.....
this is what BB Performance wrote me:
"We...
especially on 1/4mile races :D
As for future mods, anything is possible, I don't want this to be over after cams are in. ITB and hicomp pistons are in line, just not right now, next year maybe. That's why I was hoping to wait with standalone till next year.
Thank You BenR, Shame I don't live in UK as You would be the first person I would visit for advice.
I hope it wont be so bad after all :) I'll keep You up to date with my work
So is this what I should be looking for ?

and a loom...
What about this ECU ?

I gues it must be one of the older models ? Will it be sufficient ?
I know You ar trying to help, and I dont mean any disrespect.
I spoke to my local CatCams dealer and he says I should be fine,
They are all Street Cams as he says. But never mind that.
I admit You all may be right !!
As for the fact that "it can be done"
Its all down to who will remap the car...
I have some hopes yes, but as I wrote before I also bought 182mani and RS stamped inlet to help me with that 20-30bhp.
I was asking earlier if the air filter made by GREEN will be suficient ?
If you could shed some light on this matter, instead of asking me to replace the cams, I would...
Can We please focus on 421 cams ??
Basic math:
if I were to loose 5bhp under 3000rpm and gain 20-30 over 5000rmp with 421
How does it compare to 428 where peek power will be 15-20 at most ?
I want the car to be bloody fast, and I'm willing to make sacrifices.
All I'm asking is to write down...
Another lame question ;)
This time about air intake.
Do You think standard air box with GREEN filter fitted will be suficient for this kind of setup ? Or should I look around for a BCM CDA system ?
It's all just theoretical talk, I know.
But see this, how much useful informations came from a simple question "will they run for a 100miles on standard ECU ?"
I hope questions I raised so far are more creative then" Oh gosh will this muffler give me 5bhp ?"
I know You are strongly against 421...
Now back to the matter at hand....
This is my first rr test, car had only decat and air filter
To explain
P-Mot power on flywheel (second RED)
P-koła power on wheels (BLUE)
P-straty power losses (GREEN)
M-Norm torque (RED)
Now with all those things I mention erlier installed, how do...
come one guys :)dont take this personal !
I'm not throwing anything back in Your faces. Nor do I think You take me for a fool. I'm sorry if I was rude :(
I know You want good, but I've already bought those cams.
I agree they are not the best choice, now I know that too,
but I'll try to make best...
Dont take me for a fool, I know standalone is more than just a box.
I wrote it like that because every time I called tuning companie's all I heard was "we don't do french cars, maybe on OMEX, AEM etc. "
And it was even before I told them what Cams I want to run.
Anyway, its not the point.
As...
ask bbperformance, maybe they will have something for You
They got one on sale now in a reasonable price, but it's for a 172 MK2 model

I hope to get the most out of general discussion on that subject.
I can't go for 420 or 428 cause i already bought 421.
I hope You all see the subject is moving on, and there are usefull information that I can learn from.
I told You what's on the menu, and now I'll be most grateful for any...
From what I know so far, workshops preffer standalone ECU cause they are easier for them to program. At least thats what I've come up with, after making few phone cals. Standalone is a very expensive toy, and what wil it give me ? aditional 3bhp ?
