[Andyman]

Just spotted this for sale on Ebay. Anyone know if its running 210+bhp or is it another wild ebay ad claim ??

Induction kit is an ITG Maxogen, fitted arse about face - They've removed that big useless hung of metal from the from the front of the plenham cover (?) And fed a cold air feed up to it.

Thats a serious cup!! I remember the Mark Fish 210bhp mod being brought up a while ago, it went down about aswell as the LAD 200 mods but it was also strongly supported by a guy off here who said that the gains are true.

Yeah i re-edited my post just before you posted bud. lol.....it says on what IK it was. Excuse whilst i take my blonde wig off haha

Would have thought there must be a spot of head, inlet and other work to crack well over 200 bhp ?

Didnt think a R-sport chip would be good enough to control fuelling with cams ??

 

[Lagerlout]

Nor did I mate.

Maybe you could just scrape 200 with IK, zorst, cams and a remap, but it would have to be a custom one. Can't see what is essentially an off the shelf chip with those mods giving 210bhp.

 

[Fred@BTM]

i doubt its 210bhp (yasser's Mark Fish car was 211bhp, after a visit or 3 to GDI)

it'll be incredibly well setup in terms of chassis

my estimate is 200bhp for that car

 

[Andy GDI]

Yassers car had all sorts of bits done, larger injectors, matched inlet, headwork, SMT, Piper Cams, Large exhaust, sprots CAT,

it was just over 210,

 

[patty]

looks tidy tho

 

[MarkCup]

I think that is Yasers Cup...isn't it? I know it's back on standard wheels...but when I last saw him at Goodwood, I remember having a good look at the air feed into his Maxogen - it was exactly like in the pictures.

 

[patty]

says its got a new camshaft and an rsport ecu too...

 

[Chris n nic]

I think Yassers had different sideskirts on m8...obviously this one has the same IK setup being done at the same place.

mark fish is a top bloke and has only been building proper race cars for 20 years or so, so i doubt he knows what he is on about!. maybe just maybe, it is 210bhp, why not phone him and ask, or just put his work down as per normal, and his claims are not like lad in any shape or form.

true ^

if yassers cup wasnt pushing much power, how come it could do 0-60 in 5.1 secs ! M3, STi territory

 

[Andy GDI]

Mark did not do the setup though, we did on yassers car that is

Mark however built the engine, the inlet manifold was done my AWT the mapping etc was done by me.

the chassis is a handfull, but awesome if you can drive.

I cant agree more about mark though, great guy, known him for yrs

Yasser had a LSD and IIRC may have had revised gear ratios too.

 

[Fred@BTM]

correct mr loony, he did have fancy ratios

 

[Turkish]

See these boys forget its not just about bhp and lbft, there are so many more factors influencing how quick a car is.

 

[Phill1978]

does chris n nic`s cup have fancy gear ratio`s or an LSD ? cos as far as im aware that has/had only 184bhp and has acheived a 5.7 to 60

 

[run115]

As Loony said, 0-60 is not about bhp, a lot depends on how well a chassis is set up, lsd, gear ratios, etc... I used to drag race in Malta in proper pro-race cars so I kno what I am talking about. Vince

Fact is tho that not many Clio Sport owners are gonna be spending X amount of money on LSD's and messing with the gear ratio's.

Realistically it'll just be a case of setting the suspension and making the thing as light as poss.

Getting the power down is part of the parcel, and the fun lol, when upping the bhp

No fancy gizmos for me...think it`s mainly down to driver skill!

did someone say something?????

ie clutch/throttle control and the ability to turn right when the road does! :evil:

How can you create "one of the most competitive Clio's in the UK" and leave the original truck wheel in there?!
