Finally in the 200bhp club

[foRSter.]

Time to get my bragging right's out of the way, some of you may know I had my car fitted with AT power throttlebodies just after christmas, the car made 193bhp (standard cam) and I was very pleased with the out come! Recently had my MOT and thought the car might be running a tad rich, so spoke to paul at rstuning and dropped the car off monday, after a very nice day and wave of paul's magic wand we are now sitting on 201bhp (standard cam) over the mood with the car now, Ohhh and did I forget to say paul said its the smoothest ITB 182 he has ever come across

 

[Sam@NP]

nice results, who did the original mapping?

 

[foRSter.]

cheers man, paul did the original mapping/fitment of the entire kit

 

[Sam@NP]

How come he couldnt find those 8 horses before.

Oh how I want ITBs

 

[foRSter.]

Im not entirely sure but I think a large factor is the warm weather! They are pretty tasty, I really want to see what we could get with cam's now haha

 

[Cro]

I though it would make more power in cold weather? Brilliant he was able to squeeze a bit more tho

 

[foRSter.]

I dont know to be honest, Im pretty sure that is what paul said anyways??!!

 

[Šįk]

Very nice figure!

210 with cams?

 

[foRSter.]

hmmm I would be interested but im waiting on these new profile one's to come out!

 

[RSTuning]

Top line map is totally untouched today but when I originally mapped it the car was on the Dyno for ages and VERY warm, didn't quite expect to break 200 though!

 

[Begbie]

Nice work, I want vids

 

[Dave.]

Very nice figure!

210 with cams?

I have with 428's.

Welcome to the club

 

[Silent_Scone]

nice results

warm weather, warm car, I knew something was warm! The car is the bee's now haha thanks again!!

Welcome to the club

cheers

ive seen your progress thread very nice indeed, cam's are while off yet concentrating on smaller rad ect at the moment

 

[Jimbo_M]

Great result, looks like a proper sleeper!

 

[Craig.]

Great result mate bet your chuffed to bits!.. It must have been yours that was tucked away last nite when i picked mine up, im also in the 200+ bhp group

I am buddy yes very happy it will of been I dropped it off monday didnt see any other clio's tho just a scooby on the dyno haha

more info Craig?

 

[john lloyd]

That's a great figure mate, shows how good a bit of kit these are to make 201 bhp on Paul rollers. Sweet.

It is a fantastic piece of kit I'm really glad I chose these over forced induction silky smooth! Completely standard the car was 169bhp overall 32bhp gain peak figure for the bodies

 

[Sir_Dave]

That's very good! Still about £80 per bhp though lol ...

Clio tuning = not cheap.

 

[Jonny1*2]

Glad to see Paul managed to squeeze a few more out of it. I'll let you know if 421's make much difference

 

[Christopher]

So much money for what you get. Not knocking it, but tuning the F4R's lost on me.

Fair play though, I'm sure it's nippy enough!

 

[foRSter.]

Is yours booked in yet Jonny? Not fancy waiting for the tdf cams?

Yea its not cheap piece of kit wouldn't like to think of the build cost so far but I do enjoy it!

I was considering it mate, but I spoke to Matt about them and he's struggling to find blanks to use. Aparently rsport do them, but he doesn't think they would be keen on putting them in road cars. I wanted the car up and running as it's nearly a year now since it's done much. Should be booking in within the next week or so.

 

[Austin-182]

So whats the total cost involved with making the 200 club?

 

[foRSter.]

Ahhhh good stuff I'm tempted to fork out for the schrick but funds are running a little low after removing aircon and smaller rad ect be a while away yet so hopefully they will have a solution for the blanks then! Looking forward to seeing it!

 

[Ollie82.]

Now just lose the interior. 200bhp is wasted lagging all that weight around....

I toyed around with this, but want the car to be ok to drive normally. Stripped is a bit too much for road use imo. That's why i've gone for power modding and leaving it standard internally.

 

[foRSter.]

I think if you went other ways about it you could get 200 pretty easy but n/a is pretty pricey but again could DIY the kit for cheaper, thought about stripping it out but we'll see still goes well as it is!

and this

 

[_Tom]

Awesome figure and glad you happy. Just backs my thoughts that N/A tuning is a waste of money though..haha

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice indeed.

I suppose it depends on how you like the car to behave. Mine isn't my daily and is only used on the weekend and/or track work. Its not highly breathed upon at all. A few choice tweaks means it makes a healthy 177bhp which doesn't sound alot but its stripped out (although not entirely) goes like a scalded cat and corners like a fly.

Thing is, yours isnt really stripped either tbh, just swopping to buckets & removing the rear bits & bobs (like mine), but due to lower weight (around 1000kg) is pushing out approx. 180 bhp per ton.

The OP's Ph-Lard with ITB's, is only at 184bhp per ton, so in effect, probably isnt any quicker than yours, or even mine ...

Something like Nicks' 172 cup which weighs about 950kg, but has 195bhp is at 205bhp per ton.

 

[Silent_Scone]

mine was on the weigh bridge at 950 - this is with a rear cage

Even so would still be pretty confident I could easily leave a stripped mapped 1*2, had a play with my mates mapped 182 it wasn't stripped but he would of had to lose a hell of alot of weight to keep up

I'd disagree personally, i dont think you would leave a stripped cup easily. Pull away slightly, but not drop it like a sack of potatoes.

We carried out similar scientific testing with the itb'd 182 i broke recently iirc.

You would actually be amazed at how much difference losing 100kg makes to a lightweight car like a clio!!
