been looking at clios what they make on the rollers seems to be around 170 bhp with basic mods. civic type r's seems to make a s**t load more with filters and exhausts on the rollers some make 232bhp how does the clio compare to these modded ctrs on the road when accelerating?

on the same set of roller's? bear in mind you're likely to get different results from every rolling road, think the Civic's are around 201bhp standard but I can't see an extra 30bhp being realised from just exhaust and filter mods... even on Jap engines that for some reason seem to respond better to mods
the Civic will also be a bit heavier than a Clio as it would be in the same class as the Megane really

i would seriously believe the fact they go crazy off just an exhaust and filter
Next time you're up and close to a CTR get a look at the diameter of the exhaust, its about 1.75-2 inches, massive increases to be had
My bro has one, and a mate does, with ITG maxogen or gruppe m filter and a good exhaust, fujitsu etc you get really good gains, upto 230 bhp has been known with 4-2-1 mani

now you're talking about manifolds too though :rasp:, I didn't believe you could get gains like that from just an exhaust and filter on a 2.0 engine that's already tuned to produce 200bhp but then again I've never had any experience with Type-R's so wouldn't know anyway

i dnt mind still reading them, getting different peoples opinions etc, its just the winjy ones that go on about repetitive threads and comments that do my head in, its common occurance and will always happen no matter how much people twist on

yeah mate the improvements are really good with basic breathing mods, have a look into them, there is good improvements to be had, although some of the exhausts and filter set up's cost a fortune, still nice cars thoughnow you're talking about manifolds too though :rasp:, I didn't believe you could get gains like that from just an exhaust and filter on a 2.0 engine that's already tuned to produce 200bhp but then again I've never had any experience with Type-R's so wouldn't know anyway

Why start another thread on a subject that has been covered countless times, just bump an old one . . .
The subject really has been done too much, the OP could have had his question answered if he'd of bothered to look,
Clio 1970000000
Having owned both (used to own 2004 CTR now a 2006 197) I would say the difference up to 100mph is slight if any. After 100 mph the CTR should ease away. By ease, I mean a few car lengths not disappear into the distance.
To add to the other threads, don't forget the ECU remap and I used to go to driving meets every month when a CTR owner and often went up against modded CTRs (mine was standard) and it is almost always down to the driver and being in the right gear at the right time. 30bhp does not make a lot of difference IMO, It is nothing like a turbo'd car getting an upgrade.

probably because most of the winjy arses on here would pick at something to twist on about, it really can get full of a bunch of moaners on here who forget why they're here as car enthusiasts
yes we are all car enthusiasts and love talking about cars and our experiences.its not our fault that some people on here seem to spend their lives on car forums and have seen every thread go up.you cant get away from it that ppl will always ask what they are like compared to ctrs.even though its been covered before.
if you feel its been covered way too many times before then get a life away from the internet
