Max N/A Power for F4R

[pje172]

I'm just wondering what is the most your likely to see out of a 172/182 N/A??
and a 197 N/A??


I'm a 106 guy ya see and i know the Maxi 16v machines were meant to be making up to 235bhp @ 9000rpm or so N/A. Most i seen on the road is 207-210bhp N/A, with a s**t load of mods and money.

Whats the likely power from the above clio's with the likes of Bodies, Cams, Head Work, Hi Comp Pistons, Rods etc etc

the most from a good FULL build with a lot of attention to detail, without converting to solid lifters (so staying sub 8k rpm) is ~240bhp

ah right cool.

so if you was to go all out with solid lifters and wild cams etc etc, what would you be looking at?? a full race build??

 

[Fred@BTM]

about £10K LOL

Power wise i meant lol what sort of power froma full racebuild?

solid lifters add far more to the cost than anything else, and for the smallest gain. Roughly an extra £3k for 5-10bhp. Not worth it IMO, it's not a honda

if you threw lots and lotsa money at it.. i reccon you could get about 280-300hp....
but you are talkin alota custom components, using race fuel, and it would be compleatly unstreetable.
