Having notised many claims about 170 mailto:bhp@6250rpm">bhp@6250rpm however my 02 172 red lines at 6900rpm and some people have redlines over 7000rpm how is this so.. can anyone explain why its a 172 if its only 170hp. ???
The actual limit will come on around 6750-7250rpms depending on how warm the engine/oil is. But the peak power it before this, something like 6250. I guess the reason for reving higher is that when you change up a gear you from drop to around 5000rpms so that you remain in the power band?
I had my Cup rrd yesterday. It had 169.6BHP with just an IK which probably doesnt help. Quite pleased but it is running far too rich. Put chip on and it went down to 165bhp!
Going into renault on Thursday and is getting chipped on Sat. Just in time for York.
What is it with renault clio 172 they are better left standard
you would of thought that with a chip and inuction kit you would get a good increase in power
not decrease , is the 172 crap at handling upgrades, i just dont get it
with any other car you get power gains
its a bit of a sh*tta when you pay good money and get f**k all except
fancy bits of metal
Im no expert m8, but wouldnt the chip work incorrectly if the mixture was too rich. I dont think 169bhp is bad with just an IK. Probably should have got a viper but didnt think it was worth £100+ over an IK.
Ill see waht happens when Renault have checked out the fueling problem, go back and get it chipped again. Its not costing me anything as the rr it b4 and after the chip. If it doesnt do anything, it wont cost me anything
mine was standard i didnt waste any money on it by putting useless performance products on it
just looking at Chris nnic
