Rolling road today....

[DannyR]

Off to get the alignment done on my wheels this morning and thought I'd get a power run too while I'm there.

I'm hoping for around 165ish anything more and I'll be welll chuffed.

Mods are Powerflow exhaust, K&N Filter and matched inlets.

What are your guesses!?

 

[The_Pirate]

Mate its the superior Phase 1

Didnt you get the letter from Renault? There actually 256bhp and rear wheel drive, but shhh, dont tell the 182 and 197 owners...

Whats the miles on it?

 

[DannyR]

PMSL

Nearly 100k on it I got 164.3 which I'm quite pleased about that is BHP not WHP

Check out the graph! Whats the torque like compared to everyone elses?

 

[btaser2]

Engine power seems to me a little bit low according to the mods you have. Cause Jamsport claims that matched inlets give around 7 to 10 bhps on a stock engine. If it really is so then your car was giving around 155 ish without all your mods which is quite low for a 172.

 

[The_Pirate]

Engine Power measured says 176.6bhp? Am i reading it wrong?

 

[DannyR]

Measured was 176.6bhp yes, but the corrected was 164bhp

I don't know what the difference is tbf!? So I could tell everyone its 176

 

[The_Pirate]

hmmm? So the engine made 176 at the fly wheel? Im confused, im sure someone more technically minded will be along to clarify this!

Im intrigued though, i also have a Y plate Phase 1 and am getting it RR'd in the next couple of weeks...!

What mileage is on yours?

 

[mini-valver]

I'd be concerence with that big dip in power at 6500 and he torque curve is pretty erratic. Numbers mean nothing, you want the curve to be as smooth as possible!

 

[DannyR]

The bigdip in power worried me too, I went straight on to the fast ship website but sold out till end of month

98600 on the clock

I hope someone can clear this up too, no one seems to come in the forum part!

 

[The_Pirate]

Ill let you know how mines gets on when i roll it soon mate

 

[nickyc]

When was it last serviced?

 

[DannyR]

Oil and plugs were changed the night before. Air filter is just plain s**t, want my Ph1 airbox back with ITG

 

[franx]

yeah your filter must be s**t , look at you total torque-dip around 3700 rpm.. wow !

But a remap to suit your inlets will make yours a different car as it does look willing ! Could come out a lot better because now with the large dips you are still making quite good hp at certain point. Imagine what a good filter setup + remap to smoothe out the dips would do

 

[DannyR]

What do you reckon I'd be looking at with a henk map and ITG then?
