Dont really wanna be putting the original box back on considering ive just spent roughly 160 quid on the jms set up! That might be what happens in the end but thats 160 down the drain then! There must be some benefit it can offer me - torque and response is what im looking for.

Ross, we have seen the potential for the kit over the standard air box via the difference in pressure drop within the intake manifold the two provide, not just the performance graphs.
In layman terms - when you are at WOT (wide open throttle) inside the plenum (The part with RenaultSport written on it) should be as close to atmospheric air pressure as possible (101.325 kPa aprox). The V6 unit delivers a significantly smaller difference in pressure than the standard air box - thus providing the foundations for an effective map / other modifications.
It was on this basis we choose to make the unit avaliable providing all the parts needed to fit it to the car in a single affordable package.
I strongly suggest you get the car mapped with the RStuner unit you have already mentioned to me earlier in the week. Then try the standard airbox & V6 kit and let me know what you think.
Another issue with a kit of this nature as Da touched upon is its ability to iron out the fabled '5k kick'. It may lift the RPM output prior to it by as little as a few BHP/Lbs/ft - but as a result the 'kick' does not have the same impact when the car is driven - and ultimately the car does not feel faster / more powerful.
I hope that makes sense, if you want to problem solve further drop me a call on Tuesday.

At the time of the RR, I had JMS/V6 induction, no CAF, acoustic valve removed, Schrick CAMS, a Yozza exhaust and live mapping by RS Tuning.
Not cheap for 182bhp!
Is this is the case, why did RS not use the V6 airbox then? I think you're argument is based more on sales logic rather than pratical application.

Mate, isn't that too low for all the work done? this confuses me as schricks are rated as one of the bests to be had on the clio. There are cars that do that power without metal in them, and the benefit the box did is practically none, very off from the numbers from Tom's charts; and yours and Tom´s come from similar dynos (same brand - Dyno Dynamics)

I agree completely, it is very low. Unfortunately I didn't have the car RR'd before fitting the CAMS so I have no idea what it was making prior.
The Schricks are reputed to add 10-15bhp so that would mean mine being around the 165 mark standard. I've seen standard 182's pulling mid 160's on the same rollers.
Who knows!
Totally agree, but I assume those numbers come from Paul's dyno, and I remember other clios that on those rollers have done that much power without cams, I know car's can't be compared among them, but it is still to be thought.
And believe me, I am in the same place, my car with cams did 3hp's more than a less modded 172, however, it is faster on the road..
And back to subject, I am waiting for my V6 box, hope it doesn't loose me anything, sure will sound better though =D
My view on cams is that they arn't worth it...Power throughout the rev range is what i wanted not 6k plus. I never went down that route and mine was 192.6bhp without cams..>Again RR was consistent throughout, another RR said it was 186...So...Depends what you beleive. Although for pub talk i mentioned the 192 figure!
RSC 182 Cup
Nice curve
Yes mate the 5 euros one
