6500 max

[greendestiny]

Don't know if this is the right forum for this. I'd like to hear what you think of this map please. It went to RST in Oct for a live map and it seems like the power drops off a little early at 6500rpm? What do you lot think? Could there be a problem or does it seem normal? I have a manifold-back exhaust and sports cat, Maxogen airbox, matched inlet and mild Cat cams.

184bhp with all those mods????

182's start off with around 172bhp!

172's also start off with lower bhp sadly.

I'm not so concerned with max power output but more with the way it delivers (it's fast enough for a clio imo). Does the map seem okay or can anyone see anything wrong? Especially where the power starts to drop. Is it dropping off too early?

Are they 428s? It'll be the cams, they take a little and give a little, my graph came out similar.

 

[greendestiny]

I'm not sure tbh. I had them fitted quite a while back. Some have told me they're Group N while others have said they're slighty more aggressive than the oem cams. I guess I'll find out come the time for the belt change. What are all the different versions by CatCams called?

 

[yeecup]

cams seem a waste of time on these engines, rs2 inlet all the way for bang for buck.

Group N is a massively overused term in the Clio market lol. If you're on OEM management they will almost definitely be 428s. 421s are a harsher cam which require uprated valve springs and after-market ECU. Any harsher and you're talking angry territory

428s generally take a fair amount low down and give it back higher up depending on how the car is mapped. Personally I don't think there is anything wrong going by that, but it can't hurt to get it checked out

Is there anyone using 421 cams on a road car?

 

[Silent_Scone]

aye there'll be a fair few out there, I know of 3 personally as it is

 

[greendestiny]

So they must be 428? Or is there any other mild cams from CatCams? I've heard there is another type that's the same spec as oem but stronger (made out of a billet using stock removal).

 

[Fred@BTM]

who sold you these "mild" cams, ask them what they are?

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol who wants to guess!

Mine has similar mods and with TDF mapping it i got 193....
