Remap at RS Tuning today

[mark smith87]

Been over to Leeds today to RS Tuning for a stage 1 remap on the Clio. 167.1 bhp and 154 ft lb torque.137.8 bhp at the wheels.Not bad for a 12 year old car with 124,000 miles under its belt. Engine is standard with green cotton air filter element and Scorpion cat back stainless exhaust. It pulls really strongly although I didn't get chance to really try it out on the way back.

Isn't that standard power? What was it running before the map?

No mate, standard power is an average of 160-165bhp, and somewhere between 140-150 lb ft torque, so thats a pretty good outcome

Not bad. My 10 year old 138,000 mile 172 made 172 bhp at Surrey Rolling Road.High mileage doesn't seem to effect their performance

 

[Russ_16v]

Nope

 

[Tutuur]

Indeed! My old Williams did 141,6atw with 200,000 miles on it.
Thrustworthy rollers too!

Lol @ nearly 170bhp being normal I bet my 200 has 200bhp

I bet it doesn't. The 197/200 normally make well under book figures.

The funny thing is, these are so different these little cars.

I mean for example, take the OP's car, it should be 168bhp, it has basic breathing mods and now mapped and its making standard power. Now if OP's car has poorly matched inlets (which is quite possible going on the ones iv seen) and if he got matched inlets he might quite possibly gain 5 or maybe 8 bhp.

For sure I think the chances of Renault realising a 100bhp/litre N/A engine are slim to none but they are more than happy to sell cars on the pretence the car has 200.. Somethin.. People just fill in the blanks as and how they feel like it.

Remember it's in PS, not BHP (ok, not a huge amount different, but every little helps lol)
