To an extent, with boost you can use larger port volumes to a better effect as your not stuck with the laws of nature. However people tend to think that boost increases volumetric movement, where it rather increases density and typically velocity stays the same aswell. So you can get hung up on...
The 200bhp claim is the result of many tuners feeling the need to up the ante 5bhp at a time over the years to secure sales, it used to be 185 odd bhp lol. It happes in all markets.
Precisely, as soon as someone starts barking pure flow figures at you, its an invitation to stop listning.
Rapid CSA changes and velocity, including inertial direction interuptions, are all that count. If you want pure flow, install a drainpipe.
The formula renault setup addresses the initial entry angle into the lower manifold, but packaging restrictions apply in the clio chassis (unless you dont mind an unsightly bonnet and . I've played a little bit with the FR setup and for the cost, its just not worth any gains it offers, as even...
I assume he means the 730-738 varients not your 8**'s.
I personally find even the 428 slightly peaky on road going clios, they do nothing much until 4000-4500rpm and make 182's feel almost gutless. That is cam only. If you concentrate on the critical restrictions and reasons for this, then...
Depending on the spec you have it in, it'll have as much torque at 2500-3000rpm as a stock engine does peak.
Peak torque will depend what output level you want and the size of the restrictor you run (rpm point of peak output will change with restrictor size), but you can be looking at upto...
Deffo a clutch if your going full whack, but we are offering a restricted unit for 100% stock plug and play use.....dont expect more than 230-240 on a stock clutch with decent lifespan though.
On a 100% stock engine setup, no.
Plus you will loose all the factory smooth cold start performance, dash functions and diagnostics. Basically will be worse to drive daily and have marginal to no performance gain over a properly done remap.
If you are extremely proficient with ECU hardware and software then they can be very powerful things.
If you are less clued up then buying a ready to use ECU is a much better choice.
And since you posted up, i think the latter choice is better for you.
