RSi Quicker?



  Renault Clio
Hi,
I've got a Clio MK2 RSi 1.6 16v.
Just wondering how could i make it quiker?
I've already bought a Generation 2 K&N.

Thought -

Manifold 4-1
Free Flow Cat
Custom Exhaust
Lowering Springs (35mm) Sat on 14 RSi alloys.

Anything else that would make it quicker?
Want to get it to/near 150BHP (If i can)

Thanks
 
First thing, if that K&N is an open induction kit it'll probably be losing you power.

Secondly, there are people on here with 1.6s running near to 140/150bhp but they're using ITBS/ a few £ks worth of mods to get there.

150bhp a very expensive target for a k4m.

id go back to standard airbox, remove the resonator, run a feed from the airbox to the duct at the front of the battery, 2.0 f4r laguna throttle body, exhaust manifold (supersprint do one but what about the twingo RS? that one may fit) decat or sports cat and then cat back system altho ive never had a good look at the cat back standard system so dont know how restrictive it is, appears to use a 172 backbox tho

  Many Things
When I had my K4M 16v megane I had a de-cat back system and had the inlet manifold ported and polished with a custom filter set up

Cant say i noticed much difference at all

Manifold is meant to make a considerable difference
 
  Not a 320d
Ill be having ym GT mapped at some point. Not expecting any gains really, maybe 2bhp, but i am hoping it will give me some more power down in the rev range.

you could always take it to a car dealer and convert it from an RSI to a 1*2?

probably cost the same
