indeed. I've been telling people the williams manifold is exceptionally poor for years

I've never once seen a faulty vvt solenoid on an F4R. doesn't happen as far as I'm concerned. IMO you have a lamda sensor issue

nope, same as 197 though

Incredible result with standard cams. I wish I'd got round to fitting mine before breaking the car now

I run 421's, that car was on 428s

one of 2 things, battery or starter motor. At 8 years old the battery is a very strong candidate, especially during a cold snap

yeah really pleased with it. I think it's the best torque figure I've ever seen from an NA clio at SRR, including some high comp ones. 20lb/ft more than the AT power equiped 182 that ran today

250bhp 210lb/ft or thereabouts

Use photobucket

Finally got the car down to SRR for independant varification

no not really, as you'd expect. It's a world different to 428s though

That's how throttle bodies and cams is done right ;)

if you use decent parts, they come to more than £160 without labour

I would. You should try a 438 car, they're really quite satisfying.

peak figures tell you very little. you'll probably see 30bhp gains at some parts of the rev range, but most likely 15bhp at the top. Torque curve will be loads different too.

You've never experienced a good itb car

with modification

the black one looks like a ph2 172.

incorrect. The extra pipe from the 182 plenum is for the carbon canister vac pipe to attach to. There is also a difference in the way the plenum sits on top of the rocker cover where the bolts go

yes, did Pete's car last week (Toastfrenzy)

do NOT use a helicoil under any circumstances A timesert is the correct way to do it

be alright. Rotrex tuning is much more like NA tuning as far as the internals are concerned

16gb is available to order but 8gb is sold out....weird

428s are almost standard anyway. When you map for boost you completely change the vvt switch points so it shouldn't be a big issue. I'd use standard personally anyway.

nope, I was suggesting change the cables

I've seen the cables seize inside the sleeve a number of times recently, rather than snap. Has a very similar end effect to a snapped cable. all mk3 calipers are prone to sticking, but no worse than mk2 calipers are prone to being chocolate fireguards

No. Any remapping is a software hack, they're not designed to be messed with, this is why standalone is better really, its designed to be adjusted

If you lower the idle it will stall. Leave it alone
