thanks Ben I mostly needed the 16deg advance confirmed.

Dieppe is in Northern France. Their phone number is in the thread above as well as the super 1600 catalogue number. I suggest you call them, get them to send you the catalogue, and then you can order the relevant parts directly from them.

i have. I wanted someone to confirm the 16degrees inlet cam advance as Ben hesitated between 13 and 16, prob 16, and yes Ben knows a thing or xxx about the F4R engine!

ok having read everything on this forum about vvt, consensus seems to be its activated at 1200-1500. Nothing on the actual advance though, so the only data I have on this is bens 16deg advance on the inlet cam. Any more takers?

cmon people, I need some "exactitudeness" here, so far I have 16deg is about right and vvt activated at somewhere between 2100 and 4000. Also had a previous at 1500. Can somebody tell me definitalytotallycrossmyheartnhopetodie what the numbers are!!! Ta

Renault wont tell me at what rpm the vvt is activated, and at what rpm it deactivates if thats different. Also, Ben believes vvt advances the inlet by 16 degrees when activated. If anybody has that info and can confirm Bens number pls let me know. Reasonably urgent... Many thanks

no, even rsport uk are reluctant to give them. call rsport in dieppe and order them tel 0033235828166

I think most people put on an IK/zorst first and then have a remap. You may find somebody whos fitted a unichip to a standard car. Search for unichip threads. A unichip on a standard 172 will probably give you another 8-10bhp and better torque. In hindsight, I would actually start with that...

the other catalogue number is 7711150216. The first number above applies to the super1600 car and the second to the cup cars.

unless you are planning to spend time just gawping at the roller TBs (unlikely as theyll be covered), I would simply go with the best price/performance, and thats likely to be std butterfly jobbies. So where are you getting your TBs from - its hard enough finding a standard setup (check out...

if youve been braking very hard, say on track, you should also avoid applying the handbrake until the brakes have cooled down sufficiently.

Each to his own guys, theres no single truth. No need to assume that if somebody wants to lower a car, its only for show/posing. You need to be a bit more tolerant.. My cup is on circuit every other weekend during the summer and it does need lowering and firmer suspension. The standard ride...

ahhhaa, right that explains the second hose into the inlet manifold. okekoke. Now back to relocating the horns and the filter. The cup racers use vents and ducting straight through the fogs to the brakes, so I assume they have removed the horns as these would be of little use on circuit (lol...

charcoal filter to filter what exactly????

its a lambda sensor unless Im mistaken

never above 155mph as the car was limited to that speed, and not in the UK.

I think thats what technomap did in France Ben, used a resistor, but the owner told me that eventually they got a diagnostic fault. Anyway as you say only way to find out is to test. Surely this would be worth the effort by somebody like k-tec as I imagine many people would fit decats if there...

oh one comment on Tims original post, Rsport said they only change one of the cams to a grpn spec, that is the exhaust cam only, so Tims only typo is to refer to grp n cam"s", as opposed to cam - no big deal to me either way! Personally Im not too sure how changing just the exhaust cam will do...

Tim is absolutely not telling porkies. Basically rsport have experimented with a wider bore cat-less and silencer-less exhaust and say they had 200+bhp results just doing that and a grpN ECU (latter simply increases torque mid range). As I said above, I am not aware of any company rsport or any...

FS, I have been trying to get hold of Eibach sports but Eibach have not confirmed if the sports kit is available for the 172/cup. I am still waiting to hear from them. K-tec tried calling and were told maybe another 2-3 weeks, I spoke to somebody at Eibach who was meant to get back to me and...

having removed my mud guards and the fogs, I discovered that on the nearside, the twin horns are right behind the fog light. More interestingly theres an interesting looking tall black box rectangular/cubic shape about 30cm tall and 10x10cm base with a flexible wire/hose going from its top into...

I was at rsport recently. the system they experimented with was a very large bore exhaust system straight from the manifold. basically no cat, no mid silencer. Obviously noise was ear-splitting, but apparently power gains were huge. Rsport reckon a decat pipe can be used, but they dont have a...

very impressive work. so you reckon the feed could just as well been through the bonnet vs. the pipe by the battery - obviously that is if you were to make a hole or some louvres in the bonnet. Also noticed the air temp sensor. Good idea, where does that go through the bulkhead? maybe the bonnet...

no that wasnt it. Basically they previously had a picture of the headlamp as shown at the top of the thread, but one of the optics had been removed and replaced by a black inlet. It looked very neat and would be excellent as it would feed air straight into the filter. I dont know if we can do...

cant see the pic.

that would be catastrophic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you just close the door to get something for 2 minutes, and the car locks itself!! I hope this doesnt work :sick:

right, specially for Mr Tom Sir take a look under http://www.j-engine.jpwww.j-engine.jp under "parts" or "tuning" thumbnails at the bottom of the page. You will get a very large number of pics, some listed for lutecia RS. The admission headlamp is among these somewhere.

i said copious. is that the best pathetic bit of grovelling you can come up with? ;) will have a look

and I remember seing a japanese clio tuning site with exactly that headlamp, but one of the optics lights removed to make way for a mean looking air inlet tract. Now THAT would be extra cool.. for a copious amount of grovelling, I may be persuaded to waste an hour looking for said jap site...
