Ok another one - Mk2 172 vs Ibiza FR150

[stehodges]

Would you expect a 172 to thrash the FR150 or pretty close?

Ibiza is a 1.8 150bhp i think, but on paper not a lot to 60, after that- not sure?

 

[182_blue]

yeh 172 should win

 

[Paul_P1]

A good 172 will have it no problems at all.

 

[182_blue]

if it was revod tho you would struggle, its an easy 200+bhp just with the chip

 

[theduck]

210 BHP and 242lbft of torque revod

Is chipping a clio a tried and tested mod?

it is, but dont expect anything like the gain you would get from a turbod car, expect 10 bhp at the most with other mods

I think the chipping was for the Ibiza...chipping a Clio adds very little!

revo have unleashed amazing amounts of power from the VAG group engines, the increase on the fr is a very good example, the cupra chip only takes it to the same power levels.

Aye, basically detuned TT 225 engine.

 

[theduck]

wasnt the TT engine the 2.0ltr?

 

[Quagmire]

No, 1.8.

 

[Alan]

Nope all 3 TT engines are 1.8, well except from the 3.2 IIRC.
