Chips given a perfect example. With this new information people should now understand why peak torque is relatively useless to brag about on a forum with and why the RS2 having such a supposed "flat and boring" torque curve is actually epic!

Going to share it with the rest of us?

Mine will be 197/Rs2 till Saturday! After that the same engine on the same dyno will have 438's and bodies and we can see if the extra £1500-£2000 is worth it! :)

No mate. It has my own figures. Mike

Your quicker than one too lol

I wonder of the "torque fans" actually know what torque is and how the BHP is calculated using torque.

Hahaha good effort

This I love!

It certantly didnt make that standard in my car, I think the time millege is starting to kill the old girl! It made 168bhp standard in my little ph1 lol

Ill get an overlay of standard Vs now on the same dyno.

Graphs are one thing! How a car drives is another! If I threw you the keys to my ph1. You wouldn't want to get out of it!

I'm in discussion with James at the moment about a possible group buy! It would need a NON REFUNDABLE deposit and at least 10 people. But that would include PH1 or PH2 kits.

197 cams + arp rod bolts + rs2 = a match made in heaven for any fast road Clio! Congratulations dan!

Chip loves to give anyway a passenger ride! And if anyone gets the offer, Take it!! Chip has worked wonders perfecting our little throw together test bed!

Every build goes fast on that car!

Getting there mate! Can't wait for Bedford.

You utter jippo! No wonder your poor rods had a s**t! I never expected it ever to be push that hard and stay in one piece. Bless Epic Clio!

Wasn't as much as 2bar I don't think. Maybe peak 1.8 holding 1bar

I was just thinking that! Mines surprisingly nippy.

I've just got my hands on a Clio DCI. It needed a new engine, new turbo and new injectors. Now I've got it running spot on I have to say I'm thrilled to bits with it. From passing my test 7 years ago I've always had sporty cars and I intended to get this going and to sell it but its staying...

Yes mate, I already did that. :)

He's out the country till the 5th I believe.

What do you need mate. I'm very close with stone automotive!

No mate! In the engine with the piston with one bit missing, it idled very very slightly lumpy and drive spot on! No smoke nothing! It was just slightly down on power!

I have no doubt that they will be totally fine! But when buying a car with a misfire it's always worth a quick compression test to rule this out! Here's another one I found recently.

They not actually. They only rev well because of the cams. They rod ratio is crap for hi revving.

Have you ever pushed the pistons out and looked! They run spot on like that. (Only drop by about 20/30psi on a comp test) You only normally know there's an issue when you try and get more power out of them. Never any bore damage tho!

Is say that's s**t map not s**t piston!!!

They don't normally suffer too much with compression loss like this either! This particular piston was still reading 170psi!

Knackered injectors can kill pistons very easily. It's always the ringlands that go! From the top the piston will look mint!
