New RS 200 tuning

[matthewstearn]

So when are we going to start seeing some 300+bhp Clios. What do you think the engine are like for tuning potential? What power can the new paddle gearboxes take? Had a little google and didnt find too much. Thought id see what the experts on here are thinking.

Also who will be the first to swap the new engine and gearbox back into a 1*2?

Are you talking about the 200Ts?

I think 300bhp would need some major upgrades to engine, geabox, intake, IC and exhaust, but 250bhp should be easily achievable with remap and basic mods. I've not driven a 200 EDC, but if reviews are to be believed, then hopefully the remap will also make the gearchange less sluggish too.

Sorry chaps I meant the Clio 200T.

I assumed a remap would be a significant bhp gain because its boosted. Intercooler upgrade and turbo upgrades will be along soon I'm sure. Just wondered about engines internal strength and gearbox capabilities.

It won't be long before ktec have one pushing 300+bhp


They're working on their remap and exhaust ATM
