has anyone dyno’ed the clio rs

[orlandopaulo]

Ive been talking to one of the staff (mechanic) of one team of clio cup here in portugal, asking for what can i do to get a better response from my clio rs..

The answer was: cams, filter, chip... for 180-185hp (more 20hp..)

And he said the the car will never be the same.. but he reffered that all the stock clios mk1 or mk2 that hes dynoed never gave the 172hp anounced.. The worst Clio RS hes tested (stock) had 156hp.. and all the clios that have been tested by him have given arround 160-165..

I could doubt him, but hes won clio cup 3 times.. and has modifyed lots of clios RSs.. and is one of the best tuners here in portugal..

What do you think about this?? has anyone ever dynoed your Clio stock and post tuning??

Tell me about it..

He was right in saying that 172s have varied output, when we had a Rolling Road (dyno)day the 172s were giving diffenernt bhp at wheels from 134-156 i think, not sure, do a search on RR day

The RS on ever LEFT the factory with an official INTERNAL BHP of 166bhp.....not near the 172......oh well.

we got the 166 on the rollers from a well thrashed car which is quite a fair bit fater than those which pootle around.

After mods. we came out with 183bhp........all subject to how you feel about RRs though.....but we claim an official 185bhp......ho hum sales.....

surely Renault left themselve in a very messy pile of poo by claiming their 172 have 172 bhp, not long ago Mazda was force by the US gov to give a refund or replacment car for claiming higher output for their MX5

 

[BenR]

everybody does it, claimpower from perfect conditions with a ever so slightly non std motor......nothing to worry about, as long as you feel its fast.....whats a few bhp gonna do.

lol, remember when Skoda pull a trick on Autocar, they tested a Octivia RS (180bhp) 1.8T and was very impressed with the 0-60 in 6.? sec, then a few month after they tested another one for the 0-100-0, they could not achieved the same time, instead it was pulling out 60 in the low 8s?

maybe skoda slipped in the 225hp engine in the original press car by mistake lol
