My "182" was taken to Mass Racing near Cambridge today and tested on the same rolling road as the group Renault test shown in last Nov/Dec issue of Performance GTI. Boss CHris Conoley said it was one the best hed tested there.
It compared more than favourably with the best on that test. Results where Bhp ATW.
Peak power 149 Bhp atw @ 6500 rpm.
This equates to a genuine 194 Bhp atf @ 6500 rpm.
This is how my car would have slotted into the results of that test (Bhp shown ATW)
172 Cup (supersprint race exhaust, Modified ECU, Pipercross Viper) ......................................... 150
My 182 (K-Tec sports exhaust and cat, Superchip, Pipercross Viper).......................................149
182 (no mods)......................................................................................................................................... 140
2.0 16v (Williams conv. Induction kit, Exhaust, Cams & Pullys) ....................................................133
182 (Pipercross Viper)............................................................................................................................130
2.0 16v (Williams conv. Magnex System, Kent Cams & Pullys, Followers, Superchip)..............128
172 (JR Induction Kit)............................................................................................................................127
2.0 16v (Williams Conv. De-Cat, Panel Filter)....................................................................................118

so you got an extra 9bhp at the wheels for the £2600+ ahhh soz mate but that does not sound worth it to me... I was all in favour of you mods and wanted the same for mine but Ill stick to the 182 no mods! I think should have paid £3000 for the turbo conversion... just out of interest what did the insurance say about the mods? how much extra?

Correction
It cost me £1,172.01 (vat extra) for the extra BHP NOT £2600 (slight difference)
Other money was for b/m short shift, 30mm lowering and the biggest part £800 for the 4 pot brake conversion. Also there was vat and fitting.
As I said the car feels like chalk and cheese to the one I bought.
OK..... 9bhp atw may not sound much, but this car is now a genuine 194bhp and that works out to £97.66 per extra bhp
Let me also correct you as the K-tec turbo conversion is £5000. Yes more power, 250bhp, but that works out to £73.52 per extra bhp
I am not a lover of turbo cars, having owned a 305 bhp Evo 7 in between my 172 and my current Clio 194. I dont care for the lag and much prefer a normally aspirated responsive engine.
Anyway I now have a scorching Clio which is much different to the original and with a 4 pot brake conversion which allows me to brake much later!!
Im very sorry if you are not pleased with what Ive done, but must confess to be over the moon myself.
Oh, is that you I see in my rear view mirror

So adding a Pipercross viper to a 182 means around 10bhp loss atw?
