just fitted decat

[Dan@SJM]

nice! when my valver was running it ran a 120 at the wheels, but had a flat spot due to underfuelling.

 

[Dan@SJM]

The otherway of resetting the ecu is plipping the key 3 or 4 times.

 

[The Fatty]

well it seems that my decat done me well

went on the janspeed rolling road today and ran 117.44 atw's roughly = 140.84bhp..well pleased

what engine have you got?

 

[Dan@SJM]

1.8 16v

 

[Ross16V]

freebone, is the decat your only mod then? did it give you that extra 3bhp?

surely not?!!!

 

[Nafoff]

fatty i have a 1.8 16v...

ross i also have a full magnex exhaust system and a pipercross panel filter in the oe airbox....

the thing is guys is that the car would have lost power over the years so i haven't just gained 3bhp..i have gained quite alot....to put it in perspective there were 2 other valvers there and they were both standard and ran 105 atw's...mine ran 117 atw's

 

[Dan@SJM]

surely not?!!!

yea, this is only on the later ecu's though.

 

[The Fatty]

^^^ thats seems mad! could accidently reset the ecu! lol. mind you, who ever blips the key....

also you dont know what the car was when it was made, there never the same as what renault say, thats just the average....so you could have had alot less...

Anyone on here running a DEVIL system with de-cat? one of my friends use to and popping aint the word,more like a bloody bomb going off.

Could hear it banging for a good few miles

 

[The Fatty]

^^ thts not a good thing, that just makes it sound like the cars completely miss firing, much like the old mini banger up my road lol

[The Fatty]

You never heard it in the flesh
16v clio with nearly £400 of exhaust i dont think is going to sound like a mini banger.
Real loud bangs were when throttle was blipped not on over run.

Got a de-cat on my Clio and that's never really popped. Will on idle if you plant the throttle but kind of blip it. Basicaly let the exhaust warm up, then stamp the throttle really quickly, revs go to 3k and you get a nice burble popping sound.

Have a standard bacbox too, sounds nice, real nice raspy sound
